Constelações e Derivas, a primeira exposição individual da artista chilena Pilar Mackenna na Galeria Pedro Oliveira, com curadoria de Susana Ventura, é o resultado de uma prática artística baseada na observação do ser humano, do seu contexto e das múltiplas camadas deste, relevando as experiências que se entretecem entre ambos. Este ecossistema de interdependências e experiências, condicionado por um determinado tempo e espaço, estabelece as principais diretrizes para o desenvolvimento das obras de Constelações e Derivas.
Processos de trabalho como a deriva territorial, a coleção, o desenho, a pintura e o estudo do diagrama, funcionam como meios de visualização e formalização deste pensamento visual, que se estende e explora, ainda, nas diferentes relações, que surgem entre as obras e entre estas e o espaço da galeria.
Através de processos associativos e intuitivos, são construídas relações e conexões de diferentes elementos e materialidades, imagens e objetos que procuram extrapolar para um território de...instalação escultórica, a ideia de organização e ordem do universo infinito de informação a que estamos expostos na vida contemporânea.

Constelações e Derivas reflecte sobre a impossibilidade de nos dissociarmos dos outros, do que observamos e experimentamos, e as respectivas implicações para a prática artística.
Constellations and Drifts, the first solo exhibition by Chilean artist Pilar Mackenna at Galeria Pedro Oliveira, curated by Susana Ventura, is the result of an artistic practice based on the observation of human beings, their context and its multiple layers, highlighting the experiences that intertwine between them. This ecosystem of interdependencies and experiences, conditioned by a certain time and space, establishes the main guidelines for the development of Constellations and Drifts works.
Work processes such as territorial drift, collection, drawing, painting and diagram study, function as means of visualizing and formalizing this visual thought, which extends and explores the different relationships that arise between the works and between these and the gallery space.
Through associative and intuitive processes, relationships and connections are built between different elements and materialities, images and objects that seek to extrapolate to a territory of sculptural installation, the idea of organization and order of the infinite universe of information to which we are exposed in contemporary life.
Constellations and Drifts reflects on the impossibility of dissociating ourselves from others, from what we observe and experience, and the respective implications for artistic practice.
