Gabriel Chaile

Gabriel Chaile (Argentina, 1985) creates sculptures and public-scale installations, mainly from clay and adobe, materials loaded with symbolic dimensions and collective rituals that the artist synthesizes. His work draws on the imagery, techniques, and formal repertoires of different indigenous cosmologies from northwestern Argentina. Collaboration is essential for Chaile in exchanges through food and cuisine, where he brings his production closer to broader articulations with migrant collectives, peripheral populations, and political borders. He has participated in several exhibitions, such as the 59th Venice Biennale and the New Museum Triennial in the United States. He lives in Lisbon, Portugal.
