The exhibition was composed by 4 interconnected parts:
1- The installation of 10 curtains fabricated with Johanna Unzueta in the residency studio of El Eco.
2- Invitation to 6 artists/projects to occupy the space. Curtains will change position every 2-3 weeks, re-organizing space for the inclusion of these works. List of invited artists/projects: Manuel Casanueva & La Escuela de Valparaíso, Erika Florez, Adriana Lara, and José Luis Villablanca, Poul Gernes, Julia Rometti & Victor Costales, and Johanna Unzueta.
3- Invitation to María Berrios to curate an exhibition about La Escuela de Valparaiso [School of Valparaiso] in the Project space Daniel Mont. This third element had the objective to create a historical dialogue between the Museo El Eco and the School of Valparaiso, both founded in the early ’50s.
4- Design and publication of a book about Manuel Casanueva and his Torneos, a series of performative and collective games he created as part of a class by the same name at the Valparaiso School between 1974 and 1992.
