CURATORIAL

For ESTE ARTE 2026, 12th edition, Galería del Paseo presents Pedro Tyler’s project “Event Horizon”, created especially for the public of ESTE ARTE and Uruguay. Borrowing its title from astrophysics, the project reflects on the threshold of a black hole, where space and time collapse. Tyler’s sculptures—composed of deconstructed rulers—form architectural collisions that activate the booth space. Two large works pierce the wall facing the fair’s entrance, creating glimpses between interior and exterior, folding them into a single perceptual field. “Event Horizon” situates viewers within a paradoxical space where measurement fails, proposing sculpture as both a physical and temporal experience that resonates with Uruguay’s coastal horizon.

BIO

Pedro Tyler (Uruguayan, b. 1975) studied Fine Arts at Universidad Finis Terrae in Santiago, Chile, graduating with highest honors in 2001. Over two decades, he has developed a distinctive body of work that employs rulers and measuring devices as metaphors for time, space, and the impossibility of precise measurement. His sculptures—cut, bent, and recomposed from these instruments—engage philosophical paradoxes and cosmological themes, expanding the dialogue between art, science, and perception. Tyler has exhibited widely across Latin America, the U.S., and Europe, and his works are in collections including the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston; SPACE Collection, Los Angeles; P.O.C., Brussels; CCU, Santiago; Museo de Arte Contemporáneo, Bogotá; and several institutions in Montevideo. He lives and works in Santiago.
