(Buenos Aires, 1979) was selected to be part of the Artists Program at the Torcuato Di Tella University, directed by Inés Katzsenstein, where he took the work clinic workshop led by Mónica Girón (2016). He also attended a construction clinic with Silvia Gurfein, Valeria Maculán, Sergio Bazán and Tulio de Sagastizábal; and to the workshops of Guillermo Roux, Eduardo Stupía and Pablo Siquier. Among his individual exhibitions are: Tripa Cotillón at the La Boca headquarters of the Andreani Foundation (2019), Strawberry Bombón at Miranda Bosch Gallery (2017), Ritual de lo habitual at Habitat Galería + Argento Galería (2015), Lessons guitar in Fiebre Galería (2013) and Self-Portraits at the Bank Boston Foundation (2008). Likewise, he participated in group exhibitions in spaces such as La Verdi (2016), MACSUR (2015), Granate Galería (2014), Cosmiko Galería (2013), Auditorium Mar del Plata (2012), Mite Galería (2011), LXIV National Hall of Rosario (2010) and Apettite Gallery (2009). During 2017, Hilger participated in the first edition of FACA – Argentine Contemporary Art Fair and the group exhibitions La piedra fundamental in NN Galería, La Plata, and Relational practices: displacement and exchange as an exhibition platform at the Hotel Dorá in Córdoba , curated by Georgina Valdez. Julio Hilger’s works, anchored in an aesthetic of the monstrous, show two very characteristic and complementary areas of interest: on the one hand, a formal inclination for the use of a sculptural language that mostly uses clay in different states, but also ceramics, wax, paraffin, plaster, paper, and cardboard; and, on the other, a sustained reflection on the capacity of art to give shape and semanticize evanescent figures, minor characters and discarded objects. Thus, his work continues to unfold a universe of amorphous creatures on a small and large scale in which the possibilities of these poor materials are extreme. In this way, he configures a kind of eschatology in a trance, a chaotic, organic and provisional microworld where the objet trouvé, trash and kitsch randomly coexist.
