Description: Born in Hungary (1937), Susana Wald is an artist, designer, manager, translator and writer, with an extensive career in the countries she has lived. Escaping first from World War II and then from the Stalinist regime, she arrived in Argentina and later in Chile, where she lived for 13 years. Canada was also her home for 26 years, and then Mexico, her country of definitive residence, where she has remained for about 30 years. She has dedicated her life to the dissemination of surrealism and has practiced it as a way of life, a commitment that makes her a key reference of the avant-garde in Chile and the rest of Latin America. "I started working long before the momentum of feminism emerged, and only a posteriori have I been able to see that I had unconsciously created images that were in protest of the way I was treated myself and the women with whom I had lived." (HKB Translation) --Pages 12-13)
Notes: Published on the occasion of the exhibition Susana Wald. En busca de lo inasible, first retrospective of the artist in Chile that covers more than 60 years of trajectory.
