An OpeninG

Hi classmates! Today we must to try to remember the last exhibitions that we have attended… Really, I have not gone  to exhibitions for a long time, because I have been busy with the University :P . However, two weeks ago I went to an Opening in “La Cueva del Conejo” (a place where artists always do workshops and things like that) for an exhibition by “Acción Sudaca”, an Art collective founded in the Faculty of Arts of the Universidad de Chile. In the opening, La Cueva del Conejo offered many things to eat and drink, and many artistic activities very interesting, because the Openings must to do attractive for the people who come. I remember some guys did a very strange performance, where one of them was hurt his arms to paint with his own blood on canvas. Many people were impressed and dismayed, because, apart from blood, the guy was naked and exhibiting his genitals! Even so, I kept a solemn attitude all the time, because this kind of activities are professional and form part of a circuit that understands this artistic expression.

So, on the other hand, the event of La Casa del Conejo also included punk live music. At the end of all the presentations (of the visual artists, and dancing girls, and the guys who did the performance) we enjoyed of live music, and all the context of the Opening was distorted… a little. The music band was called “Horregias”. They are three rude girls who play punk rock, however not just any kind of punk, but a feminist punk… almost an “artistic punk” (they have a very post-modern style).

Anyway… this exhibition was a very funny and interesting. Was not so serious like the museum’s exhibition, because was focused in a younger audience, I guess. I hope go to other openings in the future, at the same place… It is strongly recommended!
