About the News

The "Chilean Contemporary Art Fair" known as Ch.ACO has been inaugurated one more time this year. It was inaugurated in September 28th until October 1st.
Where?, Well, It was open at the Estacion Mapocho Cultural Center in the capital, located in Alameda Avenue near to the Universidad de Santiago's subway station, in Santiago de Chile.

The exhibition has a collection of works from thirty galleries. Besides, those works are from different countries. The article, also says that this event is the most important in its kind in all the country... but I'm not agree with that.
Overall, the director of Ch.Aco, called Elodie Fulton, thinks that the most important thing in this exhibition, is that is a massive event considering that the organizers expect more than 50.000 visits during the five days.

In my opinion, I think Ch.ACO is a good way to show art to the people but, what kind of art it shows?...some people think that is contemporary art and others think it's only decorative art and a good oportunity to sell your work in the highest prices (because there you can also buy art works, yes! shopping like in the supermarket!). And talking about prices, the price of the admission was really expensive...I think because of that the organizers were so excited haha.

As I said previously, I'm not agree that this exhibition of art is the most important in the country, I didn't know about it until this year and this is the fourth year since Ch.ACO was inaugurated for the first time. I haven't seen advertising about Ch.ACO or anything like that...And there are a lot of more exhibitions in Santiago and in regions as important as Ch.ACO is considered, and the entrance is totally free, galleries where you can see really good art too.
