Congratulations @juan.ignacio.cabruja!
Crudo staff artist selected to take part in the XIII edition of the Bienal de Arte Sacro Contemporáneo.
The exhibition will run from August 15 to September 17 at the Centro Cultural Recoleta, Buenos Aires.

This edition seeks to reflect on the Sacred as an expression of humanity’s transcendence toward the divine.
The selection jury was composed of: Carlos Herrera (artist), Raúl Flores (artist and curator), and Ofelia Manzi (professor and researcher).

About the work:
'Ancát ug uváe'
In the Chaná language—an indigenous culture from the Argentine littoral—there is an ambiguous word for both memory and heart: “ancát”, which means interior. Uváe means light.
I use the totem format because it can hold diverse attributes and meanings depending on the individual or collective. Totemism is also understood as the origin or principle of a clan believed to descend from that totem, attributing to it qualities that reflect natural forces and spiritual attributes. This concept has been echoed throughout human history in different cultures.

A totem made from contemporary objects/artifacts communicates and opens a portal that glimpses the unspeakable and the timeless.
Through programming and mathematics—which allow us to control these devices—the work reveals the relationship between science, new technologies, art, and magical thinking.
