MADRID.- The work of the artist La Chola Poblete (Guaymall閚, Mendoza, Argentina, 1989) includes painting, sculpture, installation and performance. Taking up again the tools and formats around which she builds her own language and iconography, La Chola intervenes in historical and contemporary imaginaries to explore the ambiguities and undefinable zones of the narrative of the past and the current political discourse, criticizing stereotyping and exoticization of the original peoples.
In 2023, she was awarded 'Artist of the Year' by Deutsche Bank and, as part of the recognition, she presented Guaymall閚 at Palais Populaire, Berlin (2023). Following several other major international exhibitions, her participation in the 60th Venice Biennale Stranieri Ovunque – Foreigners Everywhere, curated by Adriano Pedrosa (Venice, 2024), stands out, during which she received an Honorable Mention.
