GALERÍA METROPOLITANA is an independent space founded in June 1998, by Ana María Saavedra and Luis Alarcón, in the Pedro Aguirre Cerda district, Santiago de Chile, as an extension of their home. It is a project thought and designed from the local, a base that supports the production and dissemination of contemporary art through the reconnection between the popular world and the learned world, through two basic dynamics: the development of contextual works (participatory or not) and the sustained work within the social local fabric and the art world, throughout the construction of collaborative networks from neighbourhoods, regions and worldwide.
ENJUNDIA is the dialogue and appearance of the work projects of Danny Reveco and Paula Baeza (Chile) who have developed a practice of neosituationist art that points to the contemporary city as its expanded field of action, in this case through a practice that makes use of mural art, performance, art action and video; instruments that have allowed them to generate a series of radical and poetic works that Chile and the world think critically.
ENJUNDIA is a duo project for Supermarket Art Fair 2020, which includes the (re) presentation of the Galería Metropolitana and is articulated from a staging that includes and mixes videos and actions on site.
ENJUNDIA is also an exercise that reviews and reworkes the concept of identity, putting it in tension both with its essentialist dogmatic version and with its globalized and neoliberal version.
