Presentation

"The Argentine Chamber of Mining Companies (CAEM) is the national representative institution of the mining industry, both metallic and non-metallic, and plays a fundamental role in the promotion and development of this activity in our country. Since its foundation in 1957, CAEM has worked closely with the main mining and supply companies, associations, and other related entities, with the aim of promoting mining. In this way, it has established itself as a federal entity that covers all aspects of the activity in Argentina. Its main mission is to enhance the industry through coordinated efforts with companies, society, and the government to strengthen the position of this sector in the national productive matrix.

In line with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, CAEM promotes good mining practices by developing programs focused on sustainability, communication, and transparency. These initiatives significantly contribute to constructive dialogue and the maintenance of strong relationships with the community, promoting a balanced and responsible approach in the Argentine mining sector.

The exhibition project "Un cielo profundo: Ultradistancias y microscopías," which this publication accompanies, arises from the desire to disseminate the scope of mining activity in relation to the arts in an interdisciplinary intersection that facilitates communication between different areas of Argentine culture. Through unique perspectives, Federico Winer (Ultradistancia) and Gerardo Páez (Lithos), the two artists showcasing their work here, provide insights into the multiple perspectives on the earth and its manifestations, and the various ways in which we are connected to our planet.

It is a pride for CAEM to present this exhibition, hoping that it will be the first of many collaborations between diverse areas that are part of our common productive, cultural, and human development."
