News 1 / 25 Liekam & Braumüller / YALA
Under the name YALA, an exhibition will open next Thursday, April 24, featuring more than 50 national and international artists residing in Santiago de Chile and other countries like Germany and Italy. YALA is also the name of the new space opening in the República neighbourhood in the center of Santiago de Chile, a word of Arabic origin meaning "let's go!" It also refers to mountain, territory, and region.
The first exhibition at YALA aims to create opportunities for different art languages, trends, and generations to coexist in this space. It invites artists from diverse styles and materials. The exhibition will include painting, drawing, installation, photography, sculpture and visual poetry. During the opening, performance artists will be featured, along with the experimental music band CLONA, presenting soundscapes and poetry.
YALA Republic of the Arts seeks to create a space for social and cultural processes that promote the inclusion of the Republica neighborhood's population, in collaboration with facilitators and artists leading the initiative.
YALA positions itself as an independent management space and an alternative within the circuit of neighborhoods in central Santiago. Located in a strategic area surrounded by universities, it aims to design policies for access to art, develop training and educational activities in various artistic and cultural fields, share experiences, and create workshop spaces for artists, designers, and architects.
With its first opening, YALA Republic of the Arts officially launches the project conceived by a group of artists, managers, critics, and curators.
Ciro Beltrán invited Hans Braumüller to participate in this first exhibition in YALA exhibition space. Ciro Beltrán is a pARTner of Hans Braumüller, since the University times they shared together in Santiago de Chile. Among many other projects they cooperate at the contracultural zine La Preciosa Nativa (1987-1992, Santiago de Chile) and painted together with Carlos Lizama with the collective Tricolectiva (Galería Bucci, Santiago de Chile, 1988).
At this exhibition YALA, Hans Braumüller shows cooperative visual poetry he did together with long-time mail art correspondents Gregorio Berchenko (Chile), Jürgen O. Olbrich (Germany) and Ruggero Maggi (Italy).
