JAIME GILI AFUERA

Periférico Caracas
Caracas
2010

Curated by Jesús Fuenmayor, this exhibition was a survey of works created by Gili outside gallery contexts. The curator’s approach was to show poster-sized photographs of the original installations, and repeat them on the walls; as well as recreating sections of other works, adapting them to the space of Periférico Caracas. The show had, for example, a life size stainless steel replica of one of the panels from Diamante de las Semillitas, as well as documents from previous commissions intermingled with original posters and newer versions of murals. The artist’s sketchbooks were on display as facsimile copies, and completing the show was a new piece, a ten meter-long installation of stainless steel and screen-printed glass panels dividing the space in two symmetrical sections.
