Description
Human-crafted. AI-refined.

The image depicts a scene from a natural history museum, with a high-ceilinged hall filled with various taxidermy specimens and dinosaur skeletons. The overall composition is striking, with the arched windows and ornate architectural details creating a grand, museum-like atmosphere. The prominent use of black and white gives the image a classic, documentary-like feel, highlighting the contrast between the human figures and the imposing, historic setting. The subject matter appears to be a guided tour or educational experience, with a group of visitors engaged in conversation with a museum staff member. The presence of these human figures adds a sense of scale and interaction to the otherwise grand, inanimate surroundings. The artistic style and technique employed seem to be that of documentary photography, capturing a moment in time within this unique museum environment. The emphasis on the architectural details and the interplay between the human figures and the museum's collections suggest an intent to explore the relationship between people and the cultural/historical artifacts they encounter. ...

B.1968, Colombian

Through his work, Alberto Baraya investigates notions related to scientific knowledge and to the instruments that legitimise it; he questions the figure of the “viajero”, the role of museums and ideas about exotism to generate discourses of cultural vindication. His broader Project, Herbario de Plantas Artificiales (Herbarium of Artificial Plants) deconstructs scientific paradigm, post-colonial societies, and at the same time reflects about daily esthetical acts. He initiated is professional practice in 1992, exploring photography, video and installation. ...

Instituto de Visión
Bogotá, New York City

Instituto de Vision is a Bogotá and New York based gallery for conceptual practices. Their mission is to investigate conceptual discourses that have been neglected by the official Latin American art canon. They have recovered important estates from the Latin American art of the mid century and continue to research the most enigmatic oeuvres of the region. Through a parallel program, they represent some of the most relevant contemporary practices from Colombia, Chile, North America, Venezuela, and others. Directed by three women, Instituto de Vision gives special attention to female voices, queer theories, environmental activism, the conflicts of migration, and other critical positions that challenge the established order. Using the international art scene as a platform, they are committed to give visibility and expand the work of artists that reveal critical realities and raise important questions for these contemporary subjects. ...
