Fernando Prats - Political and geologic seismogram
Technique: Smoke on paper
Artist Biography: Fernando Prats is a visual artist born in Santiago de Chile in 1967. His work has been highlighted by the expeditions and actions he has carried out in various places in Chile, such as Acción Lota, Acción Géiser del Tatio, Acción Salar de Atacama, among others. These actions have led Prats to explore the limits between art and nature, in works that seek to create a unique and transformative aesthetic experience.Prats was trained at the Escola Massana in Barcelona, at the University of Chile and at the University of Barcelona. His artistic career has been recognized with various grants and distinctions, including the Guggenheim Fellowship in 2006-2007, the President of the Republic Honor Grant from the Government of Chile in 1997-2000 and 2002-2003, the Premi Especial Pilar Juncosa and Sotheby's in 1994, and the First Prize Ciutat de Palma Antonio Gelabert d'Arts Visuals in 2010.Prats' work has been exhibited in multiple international exhibitions, and he represented Chile at the 54th Venice Biennale in 2011. He has also participated in the Mediations Biennale 2012 in Poland, the Chile Triennial in 2009 and the Universal Water Exhibition in Zaragoza in 2008. In addition, in 2017 he installed the permanent work Acción Medular at the Museum of Memory and Human Rights in Chile in tribute to General Carlos Prats González.Currently, the Barcelona City Council has commissioned Prats to carry out a monumental project in the city's Pablo Neruda Square. The project is focused on the work of reception of Republican exiles led by the poet, and will surely be one more work in the impressive career of this Chilean artist.
