Sanhattan—the financial district of Santiago, Chile—was built shortly after Augusto Pinochet’s violent, US–backed dictatorship, which lasted from 1973 to 1990. Intentionally resembling Manhattan, it was intended as an architectural glorification of the free-market ideology espoused by the “Chicago Boys,” a group of economists trained in the United States. Ignacio Gatica’s installation combines cityscapes, dreamlike narration, and expert interviews to explore the ways that Sanhattan simulates, shadows, predicts, and resists its namesake. Whitney Biennial 2026, Whitney Museum, New York — 2026
