María Teresa Chadwick Irarrázaval
Tere Chad is a Chilean artist and creative inventor based in London, and is strongly concerned about sustainability and promoting Latin American culture abroad. She is a Co-Founder of the Latinos Creative Society at the University of the Arts London and Founder of Alter Us, an emergent multidisciplinary collective that attempts to find solutions to face the challenges of the Anthropocene.
Through her mixed media practice, she exposes how touch screen technologies detaches us from our tactile instincts and empowers the society of the spectacle. She attempts to invite us to try to find a healthy balance between reassessing haptic sensitiveness while approaching new technologies.
She has had 6 solo exhibitions, participated in more than 15 collective shows and done 3 residencies in 4 different continents, highlighting: Hanga Roa – Easter Island, Santiago – Chile (Decorative Arts Museum, Fundación Cultural de Providencia), London – England (Tate Modern – Tate Exchange, Royal Society, Gordon Museum, Clifford Chance, Exposed Arts Projects), Leeds – England (Central Library), Barcelona – Spain (Convent dels Àngels – Museu d’Art Contemporani de Barcelona), Bucharest – Romania, Massachusetts – United States, Chengdu – China (Sichuan University Art Museum). Her recent shows include:, ‘The Society of the Spectacle’ solo exhibition at Latin American Restaurant Paladar, ‘Alter Us Manifesto Declaration’ in the Old Baths at Hackney and ‘A World in Vertigo’ collective show at the Brunel Museum. Last December won the Tagsmart Open Call and was interviewed on February for ‘Latinas Rising’ edition at Latino Life magazine in London.
Tere Chad graduated in July 2018 from MA Art and Science at Central Saint Martins, University of the Arts London; and is currently studying the MA Sculpture at the Royal College of Art, London, where she pretends to research for sustainable solutions in sculptural practices, and how this could positively impact on the public space.
