Artist Jorge González will activate the exhibition space by inviting collaborators to the Museum for monthly events. This reading is led by Johanna Unzueta and Felipe Mujica.

Johanna Unzueta (b. Santiago, Chile, 1974) studied art at the Universidad Católica de Chile in Santiago, and lives in New York City since early 2000. She has exhibited widely throughout Europe, North and South America, with solo exhibitions and projects at Sala de Arte Público Siqueiros, Mexico City, the Jewett Art Gallery, Wellesley College, Wellesley, Galería Gabriela Mistral, Santiago de Chile, Galeria Die Ecke, Santiago de Chile, Proyectos Ultravioleta, Guatemala City, Queens Museum of Art, NY and Or Gallery, Vancouver. She has participated in numerous group exhibitions at places like the Carpenter Center for the Visual Arts, Harvard University, CRAC Alsace, Altkirch, Museo de Arte Contemporáneo Universidad de Chile, Santiago, David Rockefeller Center for Latin American Studies, and Harvard University.

Felipe Mujica (b. Santiago, Chile, 1974) studied art at the Universidad Católica de Chile from 1992–1996. In 1997, he co-founded the artist-run Galería Chilena (GCH) with Diego Fernández and José Luis Villablanca. Active between 1999 and 2005, the space began as a traveling commercial art gallery before turning into a collaborative art project, or “curatorial experiment.” In early 2000, Mujica moved to New York City, where he currently lives and works. Mujica has since organized and produced a number of collaborative projects that operate parallel and in relation to his own work. These projects primarily revolve around exhibitions and book editing, design, and publications. 

Free with Museum admission. This event will be in English and Spanish.
