We inaugurate the third edition of Adentro/Afuera, the exhibition of graduate students from the Faculty of Fine Arts at the Complutense University of Madrid. Adentro/Afuera represents a bilateral exchange: on the one hand, we understand this exhibition as an exercise in which recent graduates can experience what it means to face an exhibition within one of the contemporary art circuits; on the other, for Chico it signifies establishing a connection not only with what is happening in the invited faculties, but also with what emerging artists are thinking and seeking to carry out.
In this sense, this third edition has a guiding thread: memory. This is understood from different angles—the memory of the human being in relation to highly technological machines, but also as a well from which we revisit the past to improve the present, and even as a membrane that permeates and connects us.
Adriana Moore Torres (Madrid, 2000) is a fourth-year student in the Fine Arts degree. As a second-generation migrant, Adriana reflects on her uncertainty stemming from a sense of not fully belonging to the cultures she is part of. Her work focuses on themes such as cultural identity, racism, the feeling of not belonging, and memory. Through maps, photographs, and objects belonging to her family, Adriana reconstructs her family history, connecting her past and present.
Jose Javier Hernández (Madrid, 2000) is a graduate of the Complutense University with a degree in Fine Arts. José Javier plays with and experiments on the idea of laziness and rest as essential triggers for a radical shift in the way we make and understand the world. He uses new technologies as artistic expression to make visible the crises the world faces over time.
Regina Sánchez Belinchón (Madrid, 1998) holds a degree in Fine Arts from the Complutense University of Madrid and the Höchschule für Bildende Künste Hamburg in Germany. She is currently pursuing a Master’s in Contemporary Sculpture at the Complutense University of Madrid. Acknowledging the privilege of being able to pause and pay attention to her surroundings, she is interested in how knowledge is generated, particularly in its collective dimension and its influence on the formation of both individual and shared identity.
René Gaete (Chile, 1987) is a student in the Master’s in Research in Art and Creation. He holds a degree in Primary Education from the Universidad Autónoma de Chile and a degree in Visual Arts from the Universidad de Chile, where he also obtained the title of Painter. In addition to his work as a painter, René will publish as co-author the book “Ojo al charqui, escritos de pintores contemporáneos chilenos.” Through painting, he seeks to bring forth scenes of an ambiguous nature, inhabited by characters who interact through actions that seem to carry symbolic meaning, within spaces charged with a dense atmosphere.
Uxue Lotero Torres (Pamplona, 2001) is currently in her fourth year of the Fine Arts degree. Her practice relates to the folklore she encounters after moving to Madrid. Uxue develops an affective and emotional relationship—a dependency—with the objects she comes across in her daily life, finding value in the precariousness of the mundane. At the same time, she observes the emergence of a new folklore shaped by mass culture, involving values that have endured over time, such as admiration for figures of reference, devotion to iconic figures, and commitment as a means of belonging to a group.
