Exhibitions, Slovenia, 1 July 2012 - 1 July 2012
Art Stays' ambitious plan to present art from all of Earth's continents has come to life with the
presentation of Antarctica, a continent that is extraordinary in all respects. Chilean-born artist
Fernando Prats has carried out many of his artistic interventions in Antarctica, the most famous
among them being Gran Sur, which was also presented in the Chilean pavilion at last year's Venice
Biennale. At the Art Stays festival, Prats will present his work entitled El nacimiento del mundo II
(19252011), which is a homage to Joan Miró and his painting. It consists of an action that Prats did
in the Antarctic, based on Joan Miró's Dibujo preparatorio de pintura (El nacimiento del mundo),
1925 (pencil graphite on paper, 26.4 x 20 cm). It's all about an action of conquest in the polar
emptiness, that consists of moving the lines that form Joan Miró's Dibujo preparatorio de pintura (El
nacimiento del mundo), 1925 to the most extreme territory of the planet.
