Manuela Ribadeneira, Objects of Doubt and Certainty

Hundreds of independent art spaces were forced to close due to the Corona-crisis. We want to celebrate some artistic events that are right now sitting behind closed doors. Today: The exhibition Manuela Ribadeneira – Objects of Doubt and Certainty at the Center for Contemporary Art in Quito, Ecuador, brings together works from the last twenty years of production by the Ecuadorian artist

Manuela Ribadeneira – Objects of Doubt and Certainty brings together videos, sculptures, audios, installations and objects created by the Ecuadorian artist in the last twenty years. Ribadeneira produces sophisticated objects that, through various metaphorical operations, configure critical stories about the present.

Curator: Rodolfo Kronfle Chambers.
