Rodrigo Valenzuela

Press release

Galerie Kandlhofer is pleased to present MUECAS, Rodrigo Valenzuela’s (b. 1982, Chile) seventh exhibition with the gallery. Bringing together works from his New Land and Garabatos series, along with the ceramic Muecas sculptures, this exhibition continues Valenzuela’s critical examination of the socio-political landscapes that shape human experience. His research-driven practice often focuses on the struggles of labourers, the persistence of historical injustices, and the potential for collective resistance. By isolating familiar forms and placing them in unexpected contexts, Valenzuela challenges the framework of collective memory, creating a compelling narrative around power and the ongoing struggle for agency.
