Instituto de Visión

instituto de visión is a gallery focused on conceptual practices, directed by women and located in Bogotá. Our mission is to investigate the artistic discourses that have been left out of the official history of art. Through the { visionarios } program, we have recovered important collections of the Latin American art scene from the mid-20th century and we continue to investigate the most enigmatic praxis in the region.

Through a double program, we also represent some of the most relevant practices in Mexico, Chile, North America, Venezuela, among others. Led by three women, the instituto de visión pays special attention to female voices, queer theory, environmental activism, the displaced condition, and other critical positions that challenge the established order.

Using the international art scene as a platform, we are committed to giving visibility and expanding the work of artists who reveal critical realities and raise important questions to understand contemporary issues.

artists: Beltrán Obregón

curated by: Beatriz López

In this exhibition titled FIAT LUX, which in Latin means ‘let there be light’, the artist continues to reveal a series of elements that have gradually and consistently emerged over the years. These components—opacity, translucency, or brightness; lightness or weight; speed or stillness; rotation or translation in the void—have become personal markers, serving as a compass that guides his practice, functioning both as a logbook and a roadmap through time and space.
