Fernando Prats is part of 20th Art Stays Festival of Contemporary Art with his work ‘El nacimiento del mundo II (1925-2011)’

 

Chilean-born artist Fernando Prats has carried out many of his artistic interventions in Antarctica, the most famous among them being ‘Gran Sur’, which was also presented in the Chilean pavilion at the Venice Biennale. He is returning to Art Stays festival, with his work ‘El nacimiento del mundo II (1925–2011)’, which is a homage to Joan Miró and his painting. It consists of an action that Prats did in the Antarctic, based on Joan Miró’s ‘Dibujo preparatorio de pintura (El nacimiento del mundo)’, 1925 (pencil graphite on paper, 26.4 x 20 cm, property of MoMA New York). Prats also demonstrates the efforts of creators to explore and experience the unknown, by carrying out an action of conquest in the polar emptiness, that consists of moving the lines that form Joan Miró’s ‘Dibujo preparatorio de pintura (El nacimiento del mundo)’, 1925 to the most extreme territory of the planet.
