After receiving more than a thousand ideas to intervene the Entel Tower, the public will be able to vote from August 19 to 26 to choose among the 10 best shortlisted proposals at hechoencasa.cl.
This 2019 version of the already traditional “Hecho en Casa Entel Festival”(in English "Homemade Entel") , received more than 1,700 proposals to intervene the classic capital building, more than doubling the 850 proposals received in 2018, which shows the interest of the citizenship for this project that every year takes over the city with innovative urban art interventions.
Thus, from among the 10 shortlisted proposals it will now be up to the public to choose their favorites. The five most voted proposals will advance to the last stage of the contest, where a jury will define the winner, who will receive a prize of $4,000,000.
“Last year we marveled at Mauricio García’s Pájaro Carpinteero (Woodpecker), the 2018 winner, which landed on the Entel Tower to remind us of the importance of caring for our flora and fauna. This year we repeated the open call and were once again surprised with thousands of incredible ideas that invite us to let our imagination fly. Now it’s time for the public to get motivated and vote for the work they want to see implemented in this icon of the capital”, says Payo Söchting, artistic director of the festival.
“The Festival Hecho en Casa Entel has become an unmissable event that everyone looks forward to every year and we love it. That’s why we invite you to transform the city through art and creativity, which is what this public urban intervention contest is all about” , says Manuel Araya, Entel’s Regulation and Corporate Affairs Manager.
The semi-finalists are “Despegue” (“Takeoff“), which proposes to transform the tower into a rocket; “Biblioteca” (“Library“), which aims to fill it with books; “Vamos que se puede” (“Yes, we can”), which installs a basketball hoop; “Cubo (“Cube“), which seeks to uncouple a part of the building; “Semáforo” ("The traffic light”) with a different proposal of icons; “O.V.N.I.” ("U.F.O.") which installs a flying saucer with incandescent light; “Bloquentel”, which transforms it into a game of jenga; “Súbelo” (“Take it up”), which through citizen participation activates a light; “Casa en el Árbol” (“House in the tree”), which recalls the typical childhood dream house; and “Te invito a jugar” (“I invite you to play”), which installs swings.
Online voting for this version opens today and will be available until Monday, August 26 at hechoencasa.cl. Then, on Tuesday 27, a jury made up of the Undersecretary of Cultural Heritage, Emilio de la Cerda; photographer and plastic arts graduate María Gracia Subercaseaux; gallery owner and art curator Patricia Ready; architect and urban planner Pía Montealegre, and journalist and founder of Santiago Adicto, Rodrigo Guendelman, will choose the winner of this third artistic intervention of the Entel Tower. Thus, it will join the list of outstanding and remembered works such as the Mariposa Chilensis, by Valeria Merino in 2017, and the Pájaro Carpintero (Woodpecker) by Mauricio García last year.
More information about the selected ideas, their authors and the videos in which each one of them presents their proposal, you can find it in Entel’s social networks and in hechoencasa.cl.
