Jesús Román
Artistic DIrector in Residence

Jesús Román Carreño (Chile), came to ´ace for the second time in the period September-October 2024. On this occasion, Jesús was invited by Alicia Candiani to serve as Artistic Director in Residence. During her stay, Jesús accompanied the creative processes of ´ace’s residents, among whom were three artists who received scholarships from the Semillero 2024 program (in alliance with the Williams Foundation). Her work included feedback and critique of the work, accompanying the creative processes of the residents and being part of the artistic and cultural outings that the ´acePIRAR | Artists-in-Residence International Program organizes for its residents.

During the last fourteen years, Jesús has dedicated herself to her work in the field of visual arts addressing some topics that refer to the translation of language codes and visual codes, through minimal systems of representation that generally, and subtly, overflow by their materiality. As an artist and teacher, Jesús has worked as a professor at the Universidad de Chile, Universidad Andrés Bello and Universidad Silva Henríquez. She has obtained national FONDART grants and has had numerous group and solo exhibitions both in Chile and abroad. Among them, places such as GASCO Gallery, Santiago, Chile (2010); A Gentil Carioca Gallery, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil (2011); CCU Art Gallery, Santiago, Chile (2012); Franqueados, Madrid, Spain (2015); Emilio Vaisse Gallery, Santiago, Chile (2016) stand out.
