Ten years after her death, the visual work of artist Teresa Vila (Montevideo 1931-2009) is recovered and presented at an exhibition at Muso Blanes, curated by Cristina Bausero, director of the museum, and researcher Elisa Pérez Buchelli. Vila was one of the most active and groundbreaking participants in Uruguay's art scene in the 1950's, 1960's and early 1970's, Nevertheless, she had been remembered, mostly occasionally, by art criticism and the art community as a "pioneer" of action art in Uruguay. In the early 1970's Vila went through a stage of maturity and immense growth. The dictatorship inflicted a deep wound in her career from which she never recovered. Seen as a whole and displayed chronologically, Vila's work bear witness to a highly original artist, with great sensitivity, versatile, thorough, intellectual and permeable to her contexts in their multiple layers.
