DUCLOS Arturo BIO

BIBLIOGRAPHY ARTWORKS

Chilean artist Arturo Duclos was one of the youngest members of the so-called Escena de Avanzada, the political and conceptual movement in the mid-1970s and early 1980s that became the canon of the Chilean art scene against Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet’s military regime. Painting, for him, soon became the perfect conceptual tool to engage with concepts like language, human rights and utopia. We spoke to him on the occasion of his recent exhibition “El fantasma de la utopía/Utopia´s Ghost” at the Museo de Artes Visuales (MAVI) in Santiago de Chile
