From July 27 to August 8, the Chile Pavilion hosts the extraordinary sculptures of Antonio Paillafil. During this week of artisanship, the Chilean artist will work on his sculptures in public, and as he works he will retrace the techniques from the ancient origins of the Mapuche culture that are still handed down from father to son today. In a hymn to the deepest roots of Chile, the history and traditions of this Patagonian population will bloom afresh in the strong, expressive lines of Paillafil’s totemic sculptures. “Chilean artisans,” stated Chile’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, Heraldo Muñoz, “represent the best part of our identity, our diversity and the cultural heritage of our country.”
