Abstract

The exhibition "Human, All Too Human", curated by Pedro Soler, was presented at the Centro de Arte Contemporánea in Quito, Ecuador, from June 23 to October 29, 2023 with artists Jeisson Castillo, Chacala, Jorge Barco, Tania Candiani, Felipe Jácome Reyes.


In the book that lends its title to the exhibition, Nietzsche observes that humans perceive everything through the human head and wonders, what would be left of the world if we could cut it off? Today if we don't cut off that human head there will be no world for anybody. This exhibition is a machine for headless thinking and an elegy for the miracle of life and all that we are losing.


In this text curator Pedro Soler analyzes the context and inspiration for the exhibition as well as the contribution of each artist and the processes of feeling and thought activated by this unique constellation of works.
