Abstract
A major solo exhibition by the Colombian-American artist, researcher and filmmaker Felipe Castelblanco. The exhibition presents several new works as well as a retrospective of his ten-year interdisciplinary practice. On display are films, video installations and photographs created in collaboration with communities in various regions – from the foothills of the Andes-Amazon to the North Atlantic. Rooted in a conceptually rich practice of site-specific research and artistic intervention, Counter-Expeditions proposes a radical rethinking of the colonial and epistemological legacy of the expedition. While the traditional expedition is understood as an act of conquest, discovery or exploitation, Castelblanco’s counter-expeditions open up a reciprocal form of movement that foregrounds encounter, affection and dialog with people and places. These works invite us to cross the physical, mental and political boundaries that separate systems of knowledge and worldviews. The exhibition focuses on the new multi-channel video installation Tunda: A Quantic Plant and the Devil’s Breath.
