Jaar SCL 2006

Chilean artist, Alfred Jaar opens a frank dialogue about his work and his future. He re-encounters Chilean audiences after an absence of twenty-five years with an anthology of works better known to the rest of the world than to his native country. A frank, demanding dialogue with a new public and a new generation of intellectuals, Jaar's work evolves from project to project, as he continually shapes and renews his poetic thinking on such themes such as: the contemporary status of images, the role of artists and intellectuals in society, and an ethical imperative expressed in an aesthetics of resistance.
