Small sculptures, drawings, recycling and the process for ceramic work can be seen in this exhibition by two academics from the house of studies.

In the Exhibition Hall of the University of La Serena, the exhibition ''Telúrico Grado 14'' was inaugurated, works belonging to the academics of the Department of Arts and Letters of the higher education institution, Luis Rivera and Hernán Godoy. With attendees of various ages and musical accompaniment, the exhibition was inaugurated that exhibits an alternative way of making art through recycling and focused mainly on caring for the environment and regional art. 

In the third exhibition of the 2014 cycle of the ULS Extension Directorate, visitors can find around 25 works from different disciplines with mixed technique and the entire process of ceramic sculpture entitled ''From the simple to the complex'', which goes from drawing to sculpture itself. In addition, you can find the installation titled ''elections'' and interventions with ceramics based on a traditional relief, to ''Playground'', small plaques that according to their author are a bit far from the traditional. 

''I found it to be an aesthetically very interesting exhibition and educationally very valuable, because in addition to appreciating the works, it can be taught to those who are just starting out, to be able to know in part what art is and what the members of the group are capable of doing. this community of the University of La Serena and the members of this region, because it has a regional imprint,'' commented the academic vice-rector of the state campus, Dr. Jorge Catalán.

This exhibition was very well received by the attendees and also by the academic, Francisco Roco, who attended with his Journalism students. ''It is a very interesting exhibition for several reasons, as an official of the University of La Serena I am very interested in the University projecting itself beyond the classrooms, so I congratulate the two exhibitors because the work they are doing is not only with his students but rather with the community of La Serena; Secondly, they have been kind enough to talk with us about what has motivated them in their creation and the steps that artistic creation follows, that is, there is also a pedagogical component, but above all, they collect materials that They are typical of the region, it is a show of art from what we are, it is an art anchored in our region, in our city, in our traditions, with our identity and I think that is very valuable,'' he highlighted. 

Finally, one of the exhibitors, Luis Rivera, extended the invitation to visit the exhibition. ''I would like to invite (...) to reflect on this that is so necessary for human beings, so that they think a little about what is happening with artistic education in Chile especially. There is a very big void and it has taken a lot to fill it and I believe that with contributions like these a lot can be done, I insist, for artistic education in this country.'' The academic also referred to how he balances his time between teaching and his love for art. ''Art is on the road, it is in my house, it is in any corner of the University, therefore on this occasion I intend to show what I am doing or producing at all times,'' he stated.

On the other hand, the Director of Extension, Dr. Catalina Cvitanic, referred to the objective of the room and the cycle in general. ''We intend that the spaces that the University opens in the artistic field contribute to the development of the people of our city and also of other cities that visit us, but mainly for the student sector. We are focused as a University and particularly as an Extension Department, on bringing our University closer to people, particularly students. We are interested in having school students visit us with their teachers, where they can do an art class in the field. In this case, I am doubly pleased because the speakers are academics from this University and of course as Management our role is to bring academic work to the community,' she highlighted.
