THE EXHIBITION

February 04th 2016

The National Ministry of Culture declared of cultural interest the exhibition of David LaChapelle in Montevideo.

The exhibition circuit will be composed of 4 different venues in the city of Montevideo, and consists of multi-sections that present a total of 90 photos. The curatorial work will be especially thought of as it will be individually sectioned per each space, but jointly form part of one global set of works. It will be the first time that David LaChapelle opens 4 simultaneous exhibitions in the same city. The art shows will be accompanied with 2 lectures. One for students and the other for AGADU where the authors that are partners of the entity will be involved.

Works of large format (almost more than 22 ft for Deluge and Seismic Shift Series), will be exhibited for the first time in Uruguay. LaChapelle approaches photography in a more conceptual way in the series Landscapes & Gas Stations.

As in the above mentioned Gas Stations and Landscape, He expresses a surreal consideration about the exploitation of Earth’s resources or as in Still Life and Earth Laughs in Flowers series, the artist, facing a topic that describes most of his artistic production, shows a critic point of view about the beauty perception.

Another section of the exhibition circuit will show a selection of photos dated before 2006. These are the most known works that made him famous all around the word. They depict a human universe, tinged with the colours and the lights of plastic, morbidly tied to the research of pleasure and excess.

A section that will gather all the portraits of celebrities, from music to fashion and movies, scenes based on religious themes with surrealistic touches, references of masterpieces of the art history and cinema, an artistic production defined by the chromatic saturation and movement, with which the American photographer reached his identifiable aesthetical style and influenced many artists of the following generations.

The exhibition will also feature projection space, where the famous and amazing videos will be on view.
