Combining elements from Chilean craft techniques, natural tinting processes and repetitive mechanised movement, Unzueta\u2019s work explores labour\u2019s technological, historical and social impact on the human condition, and its relationship to nature.<\/h4>\n

Tools for Life\u00a0<\/em>is the first ever UK solo exhibition of New York-based Chilean artist Johanna Unzueta (b. 1974). Featuring a large-scale felt installation, a collection of garments, a film shot at a textile factory in Chile, a wall mural and a selection of freestanding geometric drawings inspired by natural patterns, the exhibition reflects Unzueta\u2019s interest in shared histories of community, geography, nature and labour practices.<\/p>\n

Through her manipulation of materials, scale, and manual processes, Unzueta draws the humanity out of the industrial. This exhibition prompts us to consider the unseen human actions and efforts required to produce the objects and technologies we so unthinkingly rely on in our everyday lives.<\/p>\n

“My mum always said I learned to weave and knit before I learned to read and write. Hands are tools for me and I can\u2019t disconnect that.” – Johanna Unzueta, 2019<\/h4>\n

This exhibition is free, no booking required.<\/h4>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":46769,"template":"","event_type":[230,4],"audience":[],"class_list":["post-46697","events","type-events","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","event_type-archive","event_type-exhibition","entry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nJohanna Unzueta: Tools for Life at Modern Art Oxford<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Tools for Life is a compelling overview of the work of Johanna Unzueta, and the first solo exhibition of her work to take place in the UK.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"noindex, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_GB\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Johanna Unzueta: Tools for Life at Modern Art Oxford\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Tools for Life is a compelling overview of the work of Johanna Unzueta, and the first solo exhibition of her work to take place in the UK.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.modernartoxford.org.uk\/cms\/events\/johanna-unzueta-tools-for-life\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Modern Art Oxford\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2023-11-08T13:55:33+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/www.modernartoxford.org.uk\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Johanna-Unzueta-Tools-for-Life-23-1200px-1024x683-1.jpeg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1024\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"683\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Estimated reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"1 minute\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.modernartoxford.org.uk\/cms\/events\/johanna-unzueta-tools-for-life\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/www.modernartoxford.org.uk\/cms\/events\/johanna-unzueta-tools-for-life\/\",\"name\":\"Johanna Unzueta: Tools for Life at Modern Art Oxford\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.modernartoxford.org.uk\/cms\/#website\"},\"primaryImageOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.modernartoxford.org.uk\/cms\/events\/johanna-unzueta-tools-for-life\/#primaryimage\"},\"image\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.modernartoxford.org.uk\/cms\/events\/johanna-unzueta-tools-for-life\/#primaryimage\"},\"thumbnailUrl\":\"https:\/\/www.modernartoxford.org.uk\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Johanna-Unzueta-Tools-for-Life-23-1200px-1024x683-1.jpeg\",\"datePublished\":\"2021-11-04T10:28:00+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2023-11-08T13:55:33+00:00\",\"description\":\"Tools for Life is a compelling overview of the work of Johanna Unzueta, and the first solo exhibition of her work to take place in the UK.\",\"inLanguage\":\"en-GB\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/www.modernartoxford.org.uk\/cms\/events\/johanna-unzueta-tools-for-life\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"ImageObject\",\"inLanguage\":\"en-GB\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.modernartoxford.org.uk\/cms\/events\/johanna-unzueta-tools-for-life\/#primaryimage\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/www.modernartoxford.org.uk\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Johanna-Unzueta-Tools-for-Life-23-1200px-1024x683-1.jpeg\",\"contentUrl\":\"https:\/\/www.modernartoxford.org.uk\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Johanna-Unzueta-Tools-for-Life-23-1200px-1024x683-1.jpeg\",\"width\":1024,\"height\":683,\"caption\":\"Johanna Unzueta, Nocturnal (detail), 2020.
