(Chile, 1971)\n\nSince 1994, Voluspa Jarpa has maintained an extensive artistic production, participating in collective and individual exhibitions in Chile and abroad. Her work has explored vast research and artworks which explore the nature of the archive, the memory, and the cultural and symbolic notion of social trauma. This research has focused on the Cold War in Latin America through the commissioning and revision of intelligence documents on Latin America declassified by the USA in recent decades. The implication of secrecy as the modus operandi of politics, its effects in the psyche, as well as the exploration of ways to free us from those structures, are the main concerns of her recent works and research.<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Among the most outstanding international solo exhibitions are: 1996 Out of Frame, Gate Foundation, Amsterdam-Holland. In 2000, presented the exhibition First Person Plural at Canvas International Art Gallery, Amsterdam, Netherlands. In both, she develops her research around the city, the wastelands as a metaphor for the erased history in the cities and the collective identity. In 2006, she received the \u201cYoung Art Award\u201d, from the Museum of Visual Arts of Santiago. Later, in 2008, she received the \u201cPrize of the Circle of Art Critics of Santiago\u201d for the work Plaga [Plague], which conceptualizes the language of hysteria and ends with the presentation of the work L \u0301Effect Charcot, at the Maison de l \u0301Amerique Latine, in 2010. In 2011 she developed the work La biblioteca de la No-Historia [No History\u2019s Library], where she works with the declassified files on Chile from the US Intelligence agencies and then on Latin America. This work has been presented between 2011 and 2016, with different formulations, at the KunstMuseum in Bern-Switzerland, in Istanbul-Turkey, in Toulouse-France, at MigrosMuseum in Z\u00fcrich, Switzerland and in Porto Alegre-Brazil.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
