Palais de Glace

I read in one of the magazines here that the Palais de Glace, a cultural center in Recoleta was having a textile exhibition. I was not sure what to expect but the picture showed a quirky dress on display so I thought it might be interesting. The exposition included works submitted by artists from around the world. I didn't understand all the works but for $2 pesos, it was worth the visit. These are some are the pieces:

This picture shows off the structure of the cultural center and one of the larger pieces hanging from the center of the ceiling. It also shows on the right hand side, where James enjoyed most of his visit.
This is a work from Mexico. I am ashamed to say that I didn't write down all the artists and where they are from.

These were in a scene and every few minutes they moved up and down and the arms moved. They freaked me out but this was James' favorite.






Above was the type of piece I was hoping to see when I went to the exhibit. It may be difficult to see but those are hundreds of spikes. I don't think it is suitable for swimming.



The neon hanging from the ceiling is one of the pieces I didn't necessarily understand but it was colorful and interesting.



On the front of each one of these jumpers was a derogatory term for homosexual men.



















I liked these two because they actually looked like dresses. I think the one on the left looks completely wearable.




The work on the left was one of my favorites. It is difficult to tell from the picture but it is a three-dimensional weaving.
