LECTURE: MATÍAS UMPIERREZ, A TRANSDISCIPLINARY ARTIST

Umpierrez’s work explores the relationship between audience and fiction. His projects, which stand at the forefront of performing arts, visual art, and curatorial work, create a dialogue between memory, forgetfulness, the spectator, stage, scene, and territory. By presenting his projects in diverse locations, languages, media, and disciplines, Umpierrez fosters a global conversation. His works have been shown in various cities worldwide, in unconventional spaces like train stations, food factories, and forests, as well as in renowned theatres, cinemas, and museums.
