Arts Catalyst exhibition, by London-based Chilean artist Ignacio Acosta (b. 1976), who works primarily with photography to explore geopolitical power dynamics around minerals, their geographies and historical narratives. He has exhibited widely over the last few years with exhibitions opening here and at the Zeppelin Museum, Germany in 2019. He launched his book Copper Geographies at the Photographers’ Gallery, London, earlier this year. This is his first solo show in London.
Building on the artist’s ongoing research into extractive activities in Chile and Swedish Sábme, the programme explores the highly topical theme of extraction, the politics underlying it, the ‘slow violence’ that can result, and acts of resistance. Comprising documents, films, photographs, maps and objects, the exhibition is populated by the overlapping voices of activists, indigenous people and archaeo-astronomers – bringing together a constellation of stances rooted in the distant to recent and present geographies of extraction, exploitation and trauma.
