From a dislocated reading of the book La Part maudite, 1949 (The Accursed Share) by Georges Bataille, this exhibition addresses violence as a central axis in the works of three artists: El caso de las cajitas de agua (2003) by Josefina Guilisasti (Santiago de Chile 1963), El ladrillo (2018-2019) by Patrick Hamilton (Belgium 1974) and Dos piedras (2017) by Christian Salablanca (Guararí, Costa Rica 1990). These works are analyzed by Alia Trabucco, Nelly Richard, Gabriela Sáenz y Sofía Vindas. In their texts the authors propose readings and reflections that, as a whole, make up a story capable of dismembering a body or rediagramming the memory of neoliberal construction, in an uncertain and thorny horizon.
