mil m2
March - December 2015
​

Interdisciplinary project that seeks to problematize different types of heritage value construction from the arts. The performance artist María José Contreras and the architect Carolina Ihle worked for a whole year in the Project Pending space of milm2 that is characterized by its exceptional 29% inclination and its impending demolition in 2017.

 

This space was artistically intervened through a series of site specific performances that attempted to answer the following questions from artistic practice:

​

- Who participates in the construction of equity value?

​

- Who quantifies the equity value?

​

- How is equity value exchanged / traded / traded?

​

The artists occupied different formats, from live actions, video art, architectural surveys to interrogate the heritage status of the Pending Space.

​

In July 2016, a sample of the vestiges of the actions was opened in the Replica Gallery of the Universidad Austral, Valdivia, Chile.
