Conceptual Art, Latin American Artists, HappeningKarla GomezComment

¿Cómo crear en un medio de las crisis políticas y qué papeles tiene el arte en medio de la violencia? Otro elemento fundamental en su trabajo es la naturaleza y la crítica al extractivismo, en particular del petróleo, que aparece en sus performances, happenings y esculturas. En algunos de sus videos flotan barriles de petróleo en un fondo negro, en medio de la ambivalencia entre abstracción y extracción. Frente a la dificultad de percibir o mostrar ciertos desastres ecológicos, la producción artística de Rolando permite reflexionar sobre ¿cómo abordar las crisis de la naturaleza desde el arte conceptual?
