Encuentro Colombiano de la Imagen
El Encuentro Colombiano de la Imagen es una iniciativa del Museo de Arte Moderno de Medellín en alianza con varias instituciones culturales de la ciudad, orientada a la exhibición y reflexión en torno a la producción y recepción de la imagen, tanto fija como en movimiento, en la contemporaneidad. Se compone de una serie de exposiciones y un seminario que explorará la naturaleza de la imagen hoy y su capital lugar en la sociedad, y acoge el concurso de fotografía organizado por el Club Fotográfico Medellín.
Esta programación es posible gracias a la generosidad de la Fundación MUV y Celsia, y al compromiso de Museo de Antioquia, Biblioteca Pública Piloto, Club Fotográfico Medellín, Universidad EAFIT, Lokkus Arte Contemporáneo y La Balsa Arte.
Three spaces in the city joined the Colombian Image Encounter to present exhibitions that revolve around image and photography.

SABOTAGES
Artists: Eliana Morales, Camilo Echeverri, Hebert Rodríguez

Sabotages presents three local perspectives that highlight the constant expansion of the image. The exhibition comprises works that, in their formal aspects, possess an installation-like character. Through Camilo Echeverri’s Correspondences, Eliana Morales’s Dust You Are, and Hebert Rodríguez’s Projections and Intermittencies, the artists question the sociocultural value of photography as a medium for memory and the role of the photographer as a narrator of an era.
