"Sebastián Baudrand lives in a process, opening new spaces where to ponder the paradigms of nowadays society and its need to point the territory, the landscape and nature, questioning its structures through site-specific installations that seek, with subtle intervention, to recognise the root in uprooted lands.
During the months of May and June, he did an artist residency at ArtWorks. As usual in his practice, the artist raised several investigative layers that fed the process of abstraction and conceptualization of the works. (...)
The Chilean artist's first exhibition in Portugal proposes a contemporary rite, taking advantage of the L+S Projects’ space and its location below street level to point out the underground and its symbolic connotations. From there, the works conceived specifically for the gallery's basement break down the architecture of the place, generating reminiscences of the local landscape and its first occupations."
