What makes art contemporary? At Museo de Arte Contemporaneo, guests and curators study this through exhibits and analysis. Working with the university, this museum looks at contemporary art and the role it plays in modern society. What makes up contemporary artwork is based on the work that the community feel makes a powerful statement about the culture and society of a place, like Chile. Exhibits rotate throughout the year, focusing on a specific element and getting guests to question what they look at. For instance, In Favor of the Wind looks at a piece of fabric as it blows from the currents of different fans at different times to showcase that no two moments are alike.
