Una estrella del arte en Medellín

ORIGINAL:Letras Anónimas

Una estrella del arte en Medellín

Con el interés de escuchar a grandes personalidades del arte en Medellín y de estar en contacto con las propuestas más sólidas de la escena contemporánea, le escribí a la Maestra alemana Candida Höfer, una de las figuras más destacadas del arte hoy. La invité a mi proyecto curatorial –Memoria Decapitada- que se realizará en el Claustro de San Agustín en Bogotá 2009.

Dará una conferencia sobre su obra en Medellín. Conversé con el Vicerector de la Universidad Nacional de Colombia, Sede Medellín y aceptó con todo interés que la Maestra Höfer esté en la Universidad para dar allí su charla.

Están todos muy invitados el

lunes 14 de septiembre a las 6 de la tarde

en el Auditorio Gerardo Molina de la Universidad Nacional

Esta será una ocasión única para conversar con una de las figuras más sobresalientes. La entrada a la conferencia no tiene costo.

“Candida Höfer es una de los cinco notables fotógrafos alemanes, integrantes de la denominada Escuela de Düsseldorf. Con un alto sentido de la estética, dominio del espacio y poseedora de una refinada capacidad abstractiva, Höfer es referente obligado del arte contemporáneo.”Candida Höfer, habitar el silencio. Lucrecia Piedrahita Orrego. Museóloga
