Courtesy of Dayneris Brito.</figcaption></figure></div><p>Yet against this backdrop of tension and uncertainty, art seems to follow a different course. As though the conflict had nothing to do with it, art once again takes over the monumental spaces of the Grand Palais, a kind of structural backbone where excellence and good taste are put to the test against the fluctuations of the international market, amid uneven sales, cutbacks and cancellations of all kinds.</p><p>Latin American art, despite the scale of this event, remains scarce and scattered. While it reflects no sense of continental continuity &#8212; although why should it? &#8212; certain familiar territories offer the opportunity to encounter old classics once again, those names that, however frequently seen, are always welcome.</p><p>Among them is Carmen Herrera, a fundamental figure of geometric abstraction, whose work once again reminds us of the enduring relevance of a visual language reduced to its essential elements.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"

A Cuban-American artist and pioneer of performance art and practices concerned with the body and the environment, her presence through Marian Goodman Gallery takes on particular resonance this week. Adding to this is the tribute paid to the Cuban artist by OFFSCREEN Paris, where she is the guest of honour for this edition, with an installation of six films at the Chapelle Saint-Louis de la Salp&#234;tri&#232;re. An opportunity to revisit a body of work that, decades later, continues to question the boundaries between body, nature, identity and territory.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a

Fair</a></em>, bringing together a group of Latin American artists whose practices engage with some of the most pressing concerns in contemporary art from the region: migration, memory, ecology, identity, and the systems that organise everyday life.</p><p>Far from proposing a homogeneous reading of Latin America, the works of <a href="https://www.instagram.com/jaimegili/">Jaime Gili</a>, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/supdd/">D&#233;bora Delmar</a>, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/rafael_dalo/">Rafael D&#8217;Al&#243;</a>, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/luciapizzani/">Lucia Pizzani</a> and <a href="https://www.instagram.com/riverclaure/">River Claure</a> form a map of tensions and affinities in which abstraction, installation, painting, sculpture, photography and conceptual research coexist.</p><p>What distinguishes this first edition of <em>Para&#237;so</em> is not only the diversity of its visual languages and techniques, but the way each artist transforms personal experience and specific contexts into platforms for thinking through questions of global relevance.</p><div><hr></div><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link

Acrylic and oil on canvas, 300 &#215; 200 cm. Photo: AURA.</figcaption></figure></div><p>Venezuelan artist Jaime Gili (Caracas, 1972) comes to the fair with a selection of works derived from <em>Conuco</em>, a project recently developed in London and shaped by memories, displacement and reflections on landscape. His new paintings emerge from his observation of a small conuco on the outskirts of Caracas, from reading Jos&#233; Eustasio Rivera&#8217;s <em>The Vortex</em>, and from a growing concern with the relationship between nature, cultivation and cultural memory. The organic curves that run through these works contrast with the geometric structures that have characterised much of his practice, creating a language in which vegetation, spontaneous growth and the force of gravity appear to challenge the certainties of rationalist modernity.</p><p>Gili&#8217;s work also operates as a critical reconsideration of the Venezuelan modernist imaginary. In place of the order of the grid and the promises of constructive abstraction, the artist proposes an aesthetic closer to the organic processes of the forest, the cultivated plot and the living landscape.</p><p>From London, where he is currently based, the idea of the greenhouse becomes a powerful metaphor for diaspora: working with the symbolic materials of a territory to which one no longer physically belongs, but which continues to grow in memory.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"

Twenty-seven stanchions with velvet ropes. Photo: Reece Straw.</figcaption></figure></div><p>If Gili examines territory through painting, Mexican artist D&#233;bora Delmar (Mexico City, 1986) turns her attention to the invisible architectures that regulate social relations. At <em>Para&#237;so</em>, she presents <em>Limits</em> and <em>Acquisition Agreement</em>, two works that deepen an ongoing investigation into bureaucracy, mobility, citizenship and structures of power.</p><p><em>Limits</em> emerged from Delmar&#8217;s residency at Stanley Picker Gallery and takes as its point of departure the systems of spatial control used in cultural institutions and private spaces. The work was constructed from the gallery&#8217;s former blue velvet ropes and crowd-control barriers, once used inside Stanley Picker House to protect the art collection and regulate the movement of visitors. Reconfigured by the artist, these everyday objects cease to function merely as museographic devices and instead become a sculptural structure that interrogates ideas of access, exclusion and belonging.</p><p>The piece operates simultaneously as sculpture, obstacle and social device: visitors cannot pass through it, but must move around it, negotiate its presence and adapt to its boundaries. The physical experience thus becomes a powerful metaphor for contemporary borders and for the visible and invisible mechanisms that condition our movement through social space.</p><p><em>Acquisition Agreement</em>, meanwhile, transforms the contract for the acquisition of an artwork into the artwork itself. Delmar continues to explore legal and administrative language not simply as a form of institutional critique, but as aesthetic material capable of revealing the structures that shape the circulation of art, creative labour and the production of value. Her practice demonstrates that bureaucratic systems are not abstract mechanisms, but forces that shape everyday experience and the possibilities of belonging.</p><div

200 x 155 cm. Oil and acrylic on canvas. Photo: Gabriel Moraes.</figcaption></figure></div><p>Also marked by the experience of displacement, Brazilian artist Rafael D&#8217;Al&#243; (Porto Alegre, 1981) presents two recent works: the painting <em>Notes from a Past Life</em> and the sculpture <em>Father Figure</em>. Both investigate memory, not through explicit recollection, but through what remains inscribed in the body and accompanies the individual unconsciously.</p><p>D&#8217;Al&#243; understands artistic experience as a profoundly physical event. For him, even in an era dominated by the digital circulation of images, perception remains embodied. His paintings function as spaces of transition in which notes, gathered images and accumulated experiences form new associations. His sculpture, made in aluminium from moulded and assembled flamboyant tree pods, introduces an almost anthropomorphic presence that confronts the viewer with the materiality of space.</p><p>The condition of being a foreigner runs through much of his practice. Yet rather than presenting it as an experience of exclusion, D&#8217;Al&#243; understands it as an opportunity for learning. His works suggest that inhabiting the world through displacement involves developing new forms of attention, openness and listening. In this sense, memory appears less as a reconstruction of the past than as a territory for possible encounters.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2

Photo: Eva Herzog.</figcaption></figure></div><p>The relationship between nature, knowledge and transformation lies at the centre of Lucia Pizzani&#8217;s (Caracas, 1975) practice. One of the most established voices of the Venezuelan diaspora in the United Kingdom, Pizzani presents at <em>Para&#237;so</em> a group of ceramic sculptures and works on paper emerging from research developed across Mexico, Brazil and Europe. Together, they affirm a practice that approaches the natural world as a living archive of knowledge, displacement and shared histories.</p><p>The works on view belong to projects exploring plant intelligence, ecological systems and forms of communication within the natural world. Through anthropomorphic forms, seeds, pods, plant impressions and fossils, Pizzani seeks to bring viewers closer to forms of life often perceived as passive, emphasising plants&#8217; capacity to communicate, cooperate and sustain complex networks of interdependence. English clays bear the imprint of Mexican maize or incorporate elements collected from Brazil&#8217;s Atlantic Forest, creating objects in which geographical and cultural memory accumulates in multiple layers.</p><p>Pizzani works at the intersection of art, science and ancestral knowledge. Rather than illustrating ecological concepts, her works seek to grant agency to plants and question the hierarchies that place the human being at the centre of worldly experience. At a moment defined by the climate crisis, her practice offers a perspective capable of connecting geological time, evolutionary processes and patterns of migration. Nature ceases to function as a backdrop and instead becomes an active subject within the narrative.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!8_2p!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F549a0f0d-8b86-4fe3-8f5a-28c73b416a6f_3000x2400.jpeg" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!8_2p!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F549a0f0d-8b86-4fe3-8f5a-28c73b416a6f_3000x2400.jpeg 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!8_2p!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F549a0f0d-8b86-4fe3-8f5a-28c73b416a6f_3000x2400.jpeg 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!8_2p!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F549a0f0d-8b86-4fe3-8f5a-28c73b416a6f_3000x2400.jpeg 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!8_2p!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F549a0f0d-8b86-4fe3-8f5a-28c73b416a6f_3000x2400.jpeg 1456w" sizes="auto, 100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!8_2p!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F549a0f0d-8b86-4fe3-8f5a-28c73b416a6f_3000x2400.jpeg" width="1456" height="1165" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/549a0f0d-8b86-4fe3-8f5a-28c73b416a6f_3000x2400.jpeg&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:1165,&quot;width&quot;:1456,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:null,&quot;bytes&quot;:1406711,&quot;alt&quot;:null,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;href&quot;:null,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:true,&quot;topImage&quot;:false,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:&quot;https://www.artinlatam.com/i/220604351?img=https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F549a0f0d-8b86-4fe3-8f5a-28c73b416a6f_3000x2400.jpeg&quot;,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!8_2p!,w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F549a0f0d-8b86-4fe3-8f5a-28c73b416a6f_3000x2400.jpeg 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!8_2p!,w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F549a0f0d-8b86-4fe3-8f5a-28c73b416a6f_3000x2400.jpeg 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!8_2p!,w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F549a0f0d-8b86-4fe3-8f5a-28c73b416a6f_3000x2400.jpeg 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!8_2p!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F549a0f0d-8b86-4fe3-8f5a-28c73b416a6f_3000x2400.jpeg 1456w" sizes="auto, 100vw" loading="lazy"></picture><div class="image-link-expand"><div class="pencraft pc-display-flex pc-gap-8 pc-reset"><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container restack-image buttonBase-GK1x3M"><svg aria-hidden="true" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 20 20" fill="none" stroke-width="1.5" stroke="var(--color-fg-primary)" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" class="icon-noB79L"><g><path d="M2.53001 7.81595C3.49179 4.73911 6.43281 2.5 9.91173 2.5C13.1684 2.5 15.9537 4.46214 17.0852 7.23684L17.6179 8.67647M17.6179 8.67647L18.5002 4.26471M17.6179 8.67647L13.6473 6.91176M17.4995 12.1841C16.5378 15.2609 13.5967 17.5 10.1178 17.5C6.86118 17.5 4.07589 15.5379 2.94432 12.7632L2.41165 11.3235M2.41165 11.3235L1.5293 15.7353M2.41165 11.3235L6.38224 13.0882"></path></g></svg></button><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container view-image buttonBase-GK1x3M"><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="2" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" class="lucide lucide-maximize2 lucide-maximize-2 icon-noB79L"><polyline points="15 3 21 3 21 9"></polyline><polyline points="9 21 3 21 3 15"></polyline><line x1="21" x2="14" y1="3" y2="10"></line><line x1="3" x2="10" y1="21" y2="14"></line></svg></button></div></div></div></a><figcaption class="image-caption">River Claure. Credits: Ana D&#237;az.</figcaption></figure></div><p>Meanwhile, Bolivian artist River Claure (Cochabamba, 1997) presents a photograph from the series in which he reinterpreted <em>The Little Prince</em> through Andean landscapes.</p><p>Although it is one of his earliest projects, the work already anticipates concerns that continue to shape his practice: the construction of identity, modes of representation and the relationship between personal memory and collective imagination. Claure works from photography, but his images begin as drawings and visual scripts. The result is not documentary in any strict sense. The artist describes his works as directed scenarios in which characters, landscapes and symbols interact in order to question the expectations frequently projected onto the Andean world. Flowers, traditional dress and literary references are displaced from their usual contexts to generate new readings of Bolivian history and contemporaneity.</p><p>More recently, his work has turned towards the ethical implications of representing Indigenous communities and territories historically positioned at the margins of dominant narratives. This concern has not led him to abandon a dreamlike visual language, but rather to examine more deeply the power relations involved in every act of image-making. Moving between play, staging and cultural critique, Claure constructs a body of work that challenges both inherited stereotypes and traditional ways of looking at landscape.</p><p>Taken together, the practices brought together at <em>Para&#237;so Art Fair</em> point to a significant transformation within contemporary Latin American art. The question is no longer one of representing national identities or asserting closed regional narratives. What emerges instead is a constellation of investigations in which memory intersects with migration, ecology with history, and individual experience with global structures of power.</p><p>From Jaime Gili&#8217;s conuco to D&#233;bora Delmar&#8217;s bureaucratic systems; from Rafael D&#8217;Al&#243;&#8217;s bodily memories to Lucia Pizzani&#8217;s plant intelligences and River Claure&#8217;s Andean imaginaries, <em>Para&#237;so Art Fair</em> emerges as a space in which Latin America ceases to be understood as a fixed geography and instead becomes a territory of constant translation, exchange and reinvention. In London, that hybrid condition finds an especially fitting setting: a city which, like the works brought together at the fair, is itself shaped by displacement, encounter and overlapping memories.</p><div><hr></div><p><em><span data-color="#c266ff" style="color: rgb(194, 102, 255);">Writen by:</span> </em>Douglas A.

Acr&#237;lico y &#243;leo sobre tela, 300 x 200 cm. Foto: AURA.</figcaption></figure></div><p>El venezolano Jaime Gili (Caracas, 1972) llega a la feria con una selecci&#243;n derivada de <em>Conuco</em>, proyecto desarrollado recientemente en Londres y atravesado por recuerdos, desplazamientos y reflexiones sobre el paisaje. Sus nuevas pinturas nacen de la observaci&#243;n de un peque&#241;o conuco en las periferias de Caracas, de la lectura de La vor&#225;gine de Jos&#233; Eustasio Rivera y de una preocupaci&#243;n creciente por la relaci&#243;n entre naturaleza, cultivo y memoria cultural. Las curvas org&#225;nicas que atraviesan estas obras contrastan con las estructuras geom&#233;tricas que han caracterizado gran parte de su producci&#243;n, generando un lenguaje donde la vegetaci&#243;n, el crecimiento espont&#225;neo y las fuerzas de la gravedad parecen desafiar las certezas de la modernidad racionalista.</p><p>La obra de Gili opera adem&#225;s como una revisi&#243;n cr&#237;tica del imaginario moderno venezolano. Frente al orden de la ret&#237;cula y las promesas de la abstracci&#243;n constructiva, el artista propone una est&#233;tica m&#225;s cercana a los procesos org&#225;nicos de la selva, del huerto y del paisaje vivo.</p><p>Desde Londres, donde reside actualmente, el concepto de invernadero se convierte en una potente met&#225;fora de la di&#225;spora: trabajar con materiales simb&#243;licos de un territorio al que ya no se pertenece f&#237;sicamente, pero que contin&#250;a creciendo en la memoria.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img"

Veintisiete postes separadores con cuerdas de terciopelo. Foto: Reece Straw.</figcaption></figure></div><p>Si Gili examina el territorio desde la pintura, la mexicana D&#233;bora Delmar (Ciudad de M&#233;xico, 1986) dirige su atenci&#243;n hacia las arquitecturas invisibles que regulan nuestras relaciones sociales. En <em>Para&#237;so</em> presenta <em>Limits y Acquisition Agreement</em>, dos obras que profundizan en una investigaci&#243;n sostenida sobre burocracia, movilidad, ciudadan&#237;a y estructuras de poder. </p><p><em>Limits</em> surge de una residencia realizada por Delmar en la Stanley Picker Gallery y toma como punto de partida los sistemas de control espacial utilizados en instituciones culturales y espacios privados. La obra fue construida a partir de los antiguos cordones de terciopelo azul y separadores de espacio empleados en la propia galer&#237;a ubicada dentro de la Casa Stanley Picker,<strong> </strong>donde originalmente cumpl&#237;an la funci&#243;n de proteger la colecci&#243;n de arte y regular la circulaci&#243;n de los visitantes. Reconfigurados por la artista, estos elementos cotidianos dejan de ser simples dispositivos museogr&#225;ficos para convertirse en una estructura escult&#243;rica que interpela las nociones de acceso, exclusi&#243;n y pertenencia. La pieza funciona simult&#225;neamente como escultura, obst&#225;culo y dispositivo social: el p&#250;blico no puede atravesarla, sino que debe rodearla, negociar su presencia y adaptarse a sus l&#237;mites. La experiencia f&#237;sica se transforma as&#237; en una poderosa met&#225;fora de las fronteras contempor&#225;neas y de los mecanismos, visibles e invisibles, que condicionan nuestros desplazamientos en el espacio social.</p><p>Por su parte, <em>Acquisition Agreement</em> transforma el contrato de adquisici&#243;n de una obra en la propia obra art&#237;stica. Delmar contin&#250;a explorando el lenguaje jur&#237;dico y administrativo no como simple cr&#237;tica institucional, sino como material est&#233;tico capaz de revelar las estructuras que condicionan la circulaci&#243;n del arte, el trabajo creativo y la producci&#243;n de valor. Su pr&#225;ctica demuestra que los sistemas burocr&#225;ticos no son mecanismos abstractos, sino fuerzas que moldean la experiencia cotidiana y las posibilidades de pertenencia.</p><div

Foto: Gabriel Moraes.</figcaption></figure></div><p>Tambi&#233;n marcado por la experiencia del desplazamiento, el brasile&#241;o Rafael D&#8217;Al&#243; (Porto Alegre, 1981) presenta dos trabajos recientes: la pintura <em>Notes from a Past Life</em> y la escultura <em>Father Figure</em>. Ambas piezas indagan en la memoria, aunque no desde el recuerdo expl&#237;cito, sino desde aquello que permanece inscrito en el cuerpo y acompa&#241;a al individuo de forma inconsciente.</p><p>D&#8217;Al&#243; entiende la experiencia art&#237;stica como un acontecimiento profundamente f&#237;sico. Para &#233;l, incluso en una &#233;poca dominada por la circulaci&#243;n digital de im&#225;genes, la percepci&#243;n contin&#250;a siendo corporal. Sus pinturas funcionan como espacios de tr&#225;nsito donde anotaciones, im&#225;genes recolectadas y experiencias acumuladas encuentran nuevas asociaciones. La escultura, realizada en aluminio a partir de vainas vegetales del flamboy&#225;nmoldeadas y ensambladas, introduce una presencia casi antropom&#243;rfica que confronta al espectador con la materialidad del espacio.</p><p>La condici&#243;n de extranjero atraviesa buena parte de su pr&#225;ctica. Sin embargo, lejos de presentarla como una experiencia de exclusi&#243;n, D&#8217;Al&#243; la entiende como una oportunidad de aprendizaje. Sus obras sugieren que habitar el mundo desde el desplazamiento implica desarrollar nuevas formas de atenci&#243;n, apertura y escucha. En ese sentido, la memoria aparece menos como una reconstrucci&#243;n del pasado que como un territorio de encuentros posibles.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link

Foto: Eva Herzog.</figcaption></figure></div><p>La relaci&#243;n entre naturaleza, conocimiento y transformaci&#243;n ocupa el centro de la propuesta de Lucia Pizzani (Caracas, 1975), una de las voces m&#225;s s&#243;lidas de la di&#225;spora venezolana en el Reino Unido. Para <em>Para&#237;so</em> presenta un conjunto de esculturas de cer&#225;micas y obras sobre papel que surgen de investigaciones desarrolladas entre M&#233;xico, Brasil y Europa, confirmando una pr&#225;ctica que entiende el mundo natural como un archivo vivo de saberes, desplazamientos e historias compartidas. </p><p>Las piezas que exhibe forman parte de proyectos que exploran la inteligencia vegetal, los sistemas ecol&#243;gicos y las formas de comunicaci&#243;n presentes en el mundo natural. A trav&#233;s de formas antropom&#243;rficas, semillas, vainas, huellas de plantas y f&#243;siles, Pizzani busca acercar al espectador a formas de vida que suelen ser percibidas como pasivas, subrayando la capacidad de las plantas para comunicarse, cooperar y sostener complejas redes de interdependencia. Arcillas inglesas reciben la impronta de ma&#237;ces mexicanos o incorporan elementos recolectados en la Mata Atl&#225;ntica brasile&#241;a, creando objetos donde la memoria geogr&#225;fica y cultural se sedimenta en m&#250;ltiples capas.</p><p>Pizzani trabaja en la intersecci&#243;n entre arte, ciencia y saberes ancestrales. M&#225;s que ilustrar conceptos ecol&#243;gicos, sus obras buscan otorgar agencia a las plantas y cuestionar las jerarqu&#237;as que sit&#250;an al ser humano en el centro de la experiencia del mundo. En un momento marcado por la crisis clim&#225;tica, su producci&#243;n propone una mirada capaz de conectar tiempos geol&#243;gicos, procesos evolutivos y din&#225;micas migratorias. La naturaleza deja de ser un tel&#243;n de fondo para convertirse en un sujeto activo dentro del relato.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img"

Cr&#233;ditos: Ana D&#237;az.</figcaption></figure></div><p>Mientras tanto, el boliviano River Claure (Cochabamba, 1997) presenta una fotograf&#237;a perteneciente a la serie con la que reinterpret&#243; <em>El principito desde los paisajes andinos</em>.</p><p>Aunque se trata de uno de sus primeros proyectos, la obra ya anticipa preocupaciones que contin&#250;an presentes en su producci&#243;n: la construcci&#243;n de identidad, las formas de representaci&#243;n y la relaci&#243;n entre memoria personal e imaginario colectivo. Claure parte de la fotograf&#237;a, pero sus im&#225;genes nacen previamente en dibujos y guiones visuales. El resultado no es documental en sentido estricto. El artista describe sus trabajos como escenarios dirigidos donde personajes, paisajes y s&#237;mbolos interact&#250;an para cuestionar las expectativas que suelen proyectarse sobre el mundo andino. Flores, vestimentas tradicionales y referencias literarias aparecen desplazadas de su contexto habitual para generar nuevas lecturas sobre la historia y la contemporaneidad de Bolivia.</p><p>M&#225;s recientemente, su reflexi&#243;n se ha orientado hacia las implicaciones &#233;ticas de representar comunidades de pueblos originarios y territorios hist&#243;ricamente situados en los m&#225;rgenes de los relatos dominantes. Esa preocupaci&#243;n no lo ha llevado a abandonar una visi&#243;n on&#237;rica, sino a examinar con mayor profundidad las relaciones de poder involucradas en toda imagen. Entre el juego, la puesta en escena y la cr&#237;tica cultural, Claure construye una obra que cuestiona tanto los estereotipos heredados como las formas tradicionales de mirar el paisaje.</p><p>En conjunto, las propuestas reunidas en <em>Para&#237;so </em>evidencian una transformaci&#243;n significativa dentro del arte latinoamericano contempor&#225;neo. Ya no se trata de representar identidades nacionales ni de reivindicar discursos regionales cerrados. Lo que emerge es una constelaci&#243;n de investigaciones donde la memoria dialoga con la migraci&#243;n, la ecolog&#237;a con la historia y la experiencia individual con estructuras globales de poder.</p><p>Desde el conuco de Jaime Gili hasta los sistemas burocr&#225;ticos de D&#233;bora Delmar; desde las memorias corporales de Rafael D&#8217;Al&#243; hasta las inteligencias vegetales de Lucia Pizzani y los imaginarios andinos de River Claure, <em>Para&#237;so Art Fair</em> se presenta como un espacio donde Am&#233;rica Latina deja de ser una geograf&#237;a fija para convertirse en un territorio de traducciones, intercambios y reinvenciones constantes. En Londres, esa condici&#243;n h&#237;brida encuentra un escenario especialmente pertinente: una ciudad que, como las obras reunidas en la feria, tambi&#233;n est&#225; hecha de desplazamientos, encuentros y memorias superpuestas.</p><div><hr></div><p><em><span data-color="#c266ff" style="color: rgb(194, 102, 255);">Escrito por:</span></em> Douglas A.

botanical forms merge with fragments of human anatomy. The works reflect his longstanding engagement with Surrealism, psychoanalysis, pre-Columbian, and classical art.</p><p>Amaral is also the husband of Colombian textile artist Olga de Amaral.

Across his practice, he has imagined encounters and gestures involving artists such as Brice Marden, Barnett Newman, John Baldessari and Yves Klein. Drawing on Marcel Duchamp&#8217;s understanding of the title as an essential part of the artwork, Garciand&#237;a uses these fictional narratives to open an ironic space between Latin American culture and the history of Western art.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"

A lo largo de su pr&#225;ctica, ha imaginado encuentros y gestos protagonizados por artistas como Brice Marden, Barnett Newman, John Baldessari e Yves Klein. Retomando la idea de Marcel Duchamp de que el t&#237;tulo es un componente esencial de la obra, Garciand&#237;a utiliza estas narrativas ficticias para abrir un espacio ir&#243;nico entre la cultura

Those ideas sit at the core of <a href="https://www.instagram.com/laescuela.art/">LA ESCUELA___</a>, the artist-led platform he founded to develop experimental forms of education across Latin America, the Caribbean, and their diasporas. Bringing together artists, educators, researchers, and communities, LA ESCUELA___ has grown through artistic research and collaboration rather than through a conventional institutional model. </p><p>This October, the platform enters a new chapter with the creation of La Escuela, Inc., a New York-based nonprofit organisation, and a benefit auction at Sotheby&#8217;s New York that will support its continued development.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"

That shift is already taking shape through a series of collaborations in the United States. These include <em>Education as Resistance</em> at MoMA PS1, accompanied by the virtual symposium <em>Redes as Resistance</em>, which brought together artists and cultural institutions across the Americas, as well as LA ESCUELA___&#8217;s participation in the National Academy of Design&#8217;s <em>Future Schools</em> programme. Together, these projects point to a broader effort to build sustained institutional relationships while keeping artistic and educational exchange at the centre of the platform&#8217;s work.</p><div

Photo: Ollie Hammick</figcaption></figure></div><p>This October, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/antesala.art/">Antesala</a> opens in London, a new permanent exhibition space and curatorial platform dedicated to Latin American artists.</p><p>Founded by Brazilian collector and patron Flavia Nespatti, together with art historian and advisor Laura Gonz&#225;lez as Senior Director, the project will occupy a space in Fitzrovia from which it will develop exhibitions in collaboration with artists and galleries, alongside advisory work and public programming. Its programme will include four to five exhibitions a year, with a clear intention: to foster sustained exchange between London&#8217;s art scene and the different voices shaping art from the region.</p><p>In conversation with <em>Art in Latin America</em>, we spoke about how Antesala came into being, why they chose to move away from the traditional gallery model, the role collecting plays within the project, and what it means to build a Latin American space in London without turning it into a niche.</p><div><hr></div><p style="text-align: center;"><em>Support Art in Latin America.

Our first connection was a professor there who suggested that we should meet. Some time passed, and we realised we had several friends in common. We eventually met at ARCO in Madrid.</p><p>From there, we became friends and, over the years, the conversation continued to grow. Last year, we felt it was the right moment to do something together.</p><p><strong>FN:</strong> I was also following Laura professionally. She has a very interesting career and an excellent reputation as an art advisor.</p><p>From my side, I had been thinking for many years about creating a project in London connected to Latin America, but I could never quite find the right format. At one point Laura came to my house, and I felt she was the perfect person to develop it with.</p><p>What began as the idea of a physical space became something much more complex. We have spent more than a year thinking about what Antesala could be and how we wanted it to function.</p><p><strong>LG:</strong> The physical space was always fundamental. We wanted a place in London from which we could complicate the perspective of what Latin American art is, what it means to be from Latin America, and the different ways of relating to the region.</p><p>From the beginning, it was also a very collaborative idea: a space where many different people could come together and where there would be more freedom to experiment. We wanted to be able to offer a different kind of opportunity.</p><div><hr></div><div class="callout-block" data-callout="true"><p style="text-align: center;"><em>&#8220;We wanted a place in London from which we could complicate the perspective of what Latin American art is, what it means to be from Latin America, and the different ways of relating to the region.&#8221;</em></p></div><div><hr></div><p><strong>What led you to embrace a hybrid model for Antesala?</strong></p><p><strong>LG:</strong> We wanted to reduce barriers to entry so that a wider range of galleries and artists could exhibit, gain visibility, and build connections in London.</p><p>The hybrid aspect developed quite organically. We are very aware of what is happening in the art market at the moment, not only in Latin America. Many models are under enormous pressure, and starting a gallery today within the traditional format is extremely difficult.</p><p>That does not mean that model is not important. Quite the opposite. But for it to continue functioning, new structures also need to emerge around it.</p><p><strong>FN:</strong> Our model is designed to support galleries. We understand that galleries need to continue to exist, and that commercial support for artists is essential.</p><p>We did not want to become just another gallery, but rather to create something that could work with those that already exist and expand on what they do.</p><p>There is also our public programme, which is very important to us, both from an educational and intellectual perspective. And there is the patronage side, which I have been involved with personally for a long time and which, for me, fits very naturally within the project.</p><div

For me, it is very important to understand an artist&#8217;s trajectory, but also their practice. Having a space now where we can present that and support more artists feels like a natural next step.</p><p>And I think Antesala &#8212; even the name has something to do with this &#8212; is about being able to share those dialogues, to open doors. To give a wider group of people access to all of those experiences I have had with artists, galleries, and curators.</p><p>I have had incredible experiences that have changed my life.

What kind of audience do you hope to reach beyond the usual art-world circuit?</strong></p><p><strong>LG:</strong> A bit of everything, really. Over the summer we held a few small, very informal previews to start bringing people into the space, and there was a real mix: collectors, artists, professors, journalists, curators, children.</p><p>The programme also allows us to engage with a more academic audience that is not necessarily connected to the commercial sphere. We want to collaborate with many different people. There will be conversations between artists, curators, and thinkers around very specific subjects. I am very interested in that specificity: in a conversation really being about something.</p><p><strong>FN:</strong> At the same time, we want the approach to remain quite open. Not everything has to be connected to a Latin American artist or a Latin American subject. It can be specific, but also expansive.</p><p>We do not want to create a divisive niche. We want people to come because they are curious. The unexpected is also important: that someone comes back because they do not know exactly what they are going to find. That is also where the idea of playing with expectations around what Latin American art is supposed to be when it is presented outside Latin America comes in.</p><div><hr></div><div class="callout-block" data-callout="true"><p style="text-align: center;"><em>&#8220;We do not want to create a divisive niche.

What would success mean to you?</strong></p><p><strong>LG:</strong> For me, success would be longevity.</p><p><strong>FN:</strong> Yes, being able to sustain the project over time, both financially and in terms of the programme. If, in five years, we can continue developing something ambitious and complex while also achieving a real cultural impact, that would be a major success. We want institutions and curators to find in Antesala a place where they can discover artists, ideas, and practices that they might not encounter otherwise.</p><p><strong>LG:</strong> And I think London is the right place to develop something like this. There is a real sense of curiosity, not only in the city but across England more broadly. From the beginning, we asked ourselves: is London the best place for us?

Su programa contempla entre cuatro y cinco exposiciones al a&#241;o con una voluntad clara: generar un intercambio sostenido entre la escena londinense y las distintas voces que conforman el arte de la regi&#243;n.</p><p>En conversaci&#243;n con <em>Art in Latin America</em>, hablamos sobre c&#243;mo naci&#243; Antesala, por qu&#233; decidieron alejarse del modelo tradicional de galer&#237;a, el papel que ocupa el coleccionismo dentro del proyecto y qu&#233; significa construir un espacio latinoamericano en Londres sin convertirlo en un nicho.</p><div><hr></div><p style="text-align: center;"><em>Apoya a Art in Latin America.

Nuestra primera conexi&#243;n fue una profesora de ah&#237;, que sugiri&#243; que deber&#237;amos conocernos. Pas&#243; un tiempo y descubrimos que ten&#237;amos varios amigos en com&#250;n. Al final nos conocimos en ARCO, en Madrid. </p><p>A partir de ah&#237; nos hicimos amigas y, con los a&#241;os, la conversaci&#243;n fue creciendo. El a&#241;o pasado sentimos que era el momento de hacer algo juntas.</p><p><strong>FN:</strong> Yo tambi&#233;n segu&#237;a a Laura profesionalmente. Tiene una carrera muy interesante y una muy buena reputaci&#243;n como consultora de arte. </p><p>Por mi parte, llevaba muchos a&#241;os pensando que quer&#237;a hacer un proyecto en Londres relacionado con Latinoam&#233;rica, pero no encontraba el formato adecuado. En un momento Laura vino a mi casa y sent&#237; que era la persona perfecta para desarrollarlo conmigo.</p><p>Lo que empez&#243; como la idea de un espacio f&#237;sico se volvi&#243; algo mucho m&#225;s complejo. Llevamos m&#225;s de un a&#241;o pensando qu&#233; pod&#237;a ser Antesala y c&#243;mo quer&#237;amos que funcionara.</p><p><strong>LG:</strong> El espacio f&#237;sico siempre fue fundamental. Quer&#237;amos un lugar en Londres desde el que pudi&#233;ramos complicar la perspectiva de lo que es arte latinoamericano, de lo que significa ser de Latinoam&#233;rica y de las distintas formas de relacionarse con la regi&#243;n.</p><p>Desde el principio tambi&#233;n fue una idea muy colaborativa: un espacio donde pudiera venir mucha gente y donde hubiera m&#225;s libertad para experimentar. Quer&#237;amos poder ofrecer otro tipo de oportunidad. </p><div><hr></div><div class="callout-block" data-callout="true"><p style="text-align: center;"><em>&#8220;Quer&#237;amos un lugar en Londres desde el que pudi&#233;ramos complicar la perspectiva de lo que es arte latinoamericano, de lo que significa ser de Latinoam&#233;rica y de las distintas formas de relacionarse con la regi&#243;n.&#8221;</em></p></div><div><hr></div><p><strong>&#191;Qu&#233; las llev&#243; a apostar por un modelo h&#237;brido para Antesala?</strong></p><p><strong>LG:</strong> Quer&#237;amos reducir las barreras de entrada para que m&#225;s tipos de galer&#237;as y artistas pudieran exhibir, darse a conocer y desarrollar conexiones en Londres.</p><p>La parte h&#237;brida surgi&#243; de forma bastante org&#225;nica. Somos muy conscientes de lo que est&#225; pasando actualmente en el mercado del arte, no solo en Latinoam&#233;rica. Muchos modelos est&#225;n bajo una presi&#243;n enorme y empezar hoy una galer&#237;a siguiendo el formato tradicional es muy dif&#237;cil.</p><p>Eso no quiere decir que ese modelo no sea importante. Todo lo contrario. Pero para que contin&#250;e funcionando tambi&#233;n tienen que aparecer nuevas estructuras alrededor.</p><p><strong>FN:</strong> Nuestro modelo est&#225; pensado para apoyar a las galer&#237;as. Entendemos que la galer&#237;a tiene que seguir existiendo y que el apoyo comercial al artista es esencial.</p><p>No quer&#237;amos convertirnos en una galer&#237;a m&#225;s, sino crear algo que pudiera trabajar con las que ya existen y ampliar lo que hacen.</p><p>Tambi&#233;n est&#225; nuestro programa p&#250;blico, que para nosotras es muy importante, tanto desde un punto de vista educativo como intelectual. Y est&#225; la parte del patronazgo, que llevo haciendo personalmente desde hace mucho tiempo y que para m&#237; encaja de manera natural con el proyecto.</p><div

Para m&#237; es muy importante entender la trayectoria de un artista, pero tambi&#233;n su pr&#225;ctica. Tener ahora un espacio donde podamos mostrar eso y apoyar a m&#225;s artistas me parece un paso natural.</p><p>Y creo que Antesala &#8212;incluso el nombre tiene algo que ver con esto&#8212; consiste en poder compartir esos di&#225;logos, en abrir puertas.

En verano hicimos unos <em>previews</em> peque&#241;os y muy casuales para empezar a traer gente al espacio y hab&#237;a de todo: coleccionistas, artistas, profesores, periodistas, curadores, ni&#241;os.</p><p>El programa nos permite tambi&#233;n acercarnos a un p&#250;blico m&#225;s acad&#233;mico, que no est&#233; necesariamente vinculado al &#225;mbito comercial. Queremos colaborar con mucha gente. Habr&#225; conversaciones entre artistas, curadores y pensadores alrededor de temas muy espec&#237;ficos. A m&#237; me interesa mucho esa especificidad: que una conversaci&#243;n sea realmente sobre algo.</p><p><strong>FN:</strong> Pero al mismo tiempo queremos que el enfoque sea bastante abierto. No todo tiene que estar relacionado con un artista latinoamericano o con un tema latinoamericano. Puede ser espec&#237;fico pero tambi&#233;n expansivo.</p><p>No queremos crear un nicho divisivo.

For years, the Global South has been shaping the cultural agenda of biennials, museums, and fairs. The axis no longer revolves around just two or three global capitals. Today, there are circuits that were once considered &#8220;peripheral&#8221; whose artistic production is gaining increasing recognition and visibility in major exhibitions.</p><p>Under my artistic direction and global curatorship, Pinta expanded from being present in three countries to six. We also began exploring Art Weeks in vibrant art scenes that may not yet have the ecosystem needed to support a fair, but that do have artists, institutions, thinkers, and others who have been working there for a very long time. There is a growing interest in discovering and engaging with these scenes. We have already held two very successful editions in Panama, four in Asunci&#243;n, and we are now expanding to Medell&#237;n.</p><p>Another initiative I think is particularly worth highlighting is our <em>Open Files</em>, a series of videos in which Latin American artists speak about their work in their own words. More than 110 artists from 13 countries have participated so far, and notably, 54% are women. This initiative seeks to broaden and democratize access to art from Latin America. The videos are freely accessible and constitute a living archive that continues to grow.</p><div><hr></div><div class="callout-block" data-callout="true"><p style="text-align: center;"><em>&#8220;For years, the Global South has been shaping the cultural agenda of biennials, museums, and fairs.

There is a risk with that label: &#8220;Latin American&#8221; can become an aesthetic expectation&#8212;the political, the identity-based&#8212;that confines the artist. I prefer to speak of art <em>from</em> Latin America, as Gerardo Mosquera proposes, rather than &#8220;Latin American art.&#8221; That label is often imposed from the outside and carries an expectation that works should display a recognizable form of &#8220;Latin Americanness&#8221;&#8212;the political, the telluric, the exotic&#8212;ultimately confining artists within those expectations. Thinking about art from the region does not impose a style or subject; it points instead to a place from which one looks and creates. It shifts the focus: what matters is no longer the origin of the work, but the perspective of the person making it, with the freedom to engage with the world without having to represent where they come from.</p><p>At Pinta&#8217;s fairs, I created and organized sections such as NEXT, RADAR, FORO, Editorial, Special Projects, and Artista Homenaje, among others, which function precisely as ways of engaging with specificities rather than thinking of the region as a single, homogeneous bloc.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img"

that has recently surprised you and that you believe deserves greater international attention?</strong></p><p><strong>IG:</strong> These four years overseeing the artistic direction have allowed me to discover not only scenes I was unfamiliar with, but also artists, cultural practitioners, and creators. At Pinta Asunci&#243;n, I had the opportunity to get to know the work of Julia Isidrez and Claudia Casarino firsthand, and to work alongside Ticio Escobar and Adriana Almada. It is a scene that is completely different from the rest of the Southern Cone, and I think it deserves closer attention.</p><p>Panama, meanwhile, was also very enriching for me. I had the opportunity to work alongside Lulu Lobos, Milko Delgado, and Donna Conlon, artists whom I consider fundamental to the Central American art scene. Lima is undoubtedly an extraordinarily diverse and interesting scene. Although I was already familiar with most of the artists before my work at Pinta, my role gave me the opportunity to work with artists such as Claudia Coca, Martinat, Fernando Bryce, Alberto Casiari, Elena Damiani, F&#225;tima Rodrigo, Elena Tejada Herrera, and others.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"

of galleries and the different sections creating a clear dialogue with one another. How do you build that coherence without limiting the diversity of the proposals?</strong></p><p><strong>IG:</strong> Over these four years, one of my goals has been to ensure that not only the individual events have a certain balance and coherence, but, above all, that Pinta&#8217;s annual program and all of its initiatives do as well.</p><p>I want it to be understood as a complete program that brings together the fairs, the Art Weeks, the partnerships we develop with Fundaci&#243;n Pinta, and our editorial platform, Arte al D&#237;a.</p><p>For me, coherence functions as a structure, not as uniformity. I wanted the sections to provide a framework: one focused on younger and emerging practices, others organized around themes explored through artists&#8217; work, all coexisting with the main section. Each has its own framework, while still allowing the proposals to breathe and enter into dialogue with one another.</p><p>The dialogue between sections is fundamental. There is a relationship between them; I think of them as systems rather than compartments.</p><p>I also work with a great curatorial team with whom I am in constant dialogue. They are curators working at key institutions across the region, transforming their respective scenes from within and bringing their research processes and networks to the fairs. Coherence emerges from a conversation among curators, rather than from something imposed from above. A diversity of voices is part of the method.</p><p>I also think it is important to highlight that FORO brought together more than 100 voices between 2023 and 2026, which speaks to the diversity of perspectives we seek to bring into conversation. Coherence can coexist with scale.</p><div><hr></div><div class="callout-block" data-callout="true"><p style="text-align: center;"><em>&#8220;Coherence emerges from a conversation among curators, rather than from something imposed from above.

Has prioritizing curatorial quality over quantitative growth been a conscious decision?</strong></p><p><strong>IG:</strong> Yes, it has been a conscious decision. I believe this approach strengthens identity, the visitor experience, and the relationship with the public, while allowing us to prioritize each individual project rather than simply focusing on quantity.</p><p>Curated content is at the heart of Pinta. We think of the fair as a space for interpretation, not only for transactions. That is why we have special projects, Artista Homenaje, and other sections that are like &#8220;gifts&#8221; for visitors. Our focus is not simply on creating more spaces to add galleries and generate sales. We think about and create projects that complement all the work we are already doing.</p><p>At the same time, growth and quality are not necessarily opposed. Pinta has grown in terms of the number of programs and events we are producing. The key is choosing where and how to grow.</p><div><hr></div><div class="callout-block" data-callout="true"><p style="text-align: center;"><em>&#8220;Curated content is at the heart of Pinta.

Beyond the quality of the works themselves, what do you look for in a gallery&#8217;s proposal?</strong></p><p><strong>IG:</strong> Several things. First, the gallery&#8217;s artistic proposal as an argument in itself. I look for coherence between what the gallery says and what it brings. Long-term work is very important. Supporting galleries and maintaining their place within the fair is fundamental. I always ask myself what that gallery adds to the conversation of the fair.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"

Lima.</figcaption></figure></div><div><hr></div><p><strong>Pinta continues to expand its presence through different fairs and programs. Looking ahead to Pinta BAphoto and Pinta Miami, what are you particularly excited about, and what curatorial conversations would you like to bring to the forefront?</strong></p><p><strong>IG:</strong> There are several things that excite me about Pinta BAphoto. First, this edition coincides with the 200th anniversary of the birth of photography, and I think it offers a very interesting opportunity to consider what has happened to the medium over that time, how it has transformed, and how it now coexists with other languages, formats, and forms of circulation. This comes through in different parts of the fair&#8212;not only in the works themselves, but also in the special projects, the curated sections, and FORO.</p><p>We will also be welcoming some very important international guests from the field of photography. Eve Schillo, Associate Curator in the Department of Photography at LACMA; Mar&#237;a Santoyo, Director of PHotoESPA&#209;A; and Thyago Nogueira, Director of the Department of Contemporary Art and Photography at Instituto Moreira Salles and founding editor of ZUM, will all be joining us. For me, it is very valuable to have them in Buenos Aires and participating in FORO, because it allows us to bring what is happening in the region into dialogue with institutions and art scenes elsewhere.</p><p>This year, Pinta BAphoto also opens a very special season for the visual arts in Buenos Aires. Just a few days later come Central AFFAIR and arteBA, and I think this concentration creates something very interesting for the city. They are distinct fairs, each with its own identity and audience, but together they create a moment of intense circulation among artists, galleries, collectors, curators, and professionals arriving from different places.</p><p>And then there is Pinta Miami, which celebrates its 20th anniversary this year. For me, it is a special edition because it gives us an opportunity to look back at the fair&#8217;s trajectory while also thinking about how to continue growing without losing its identity. Pinta Miami has a boutique scale and a highly curated approach, where each project has the space to be seen and where we seek to create a close encounter between galleries, artists, collectors, curators, and institutions. After 20 years, I am interested in continuing to deepen the fair&#8217;s place within Miami Art Week and its relationship with the different art scenes across Latin America.</p><div><hr></div><div class="callout-block" data-callout="true"><p style="text-align: center;"><em>&#8220;This year, Pinta BAphoto also opens a very special season for the visual arts in Buenos Aires&#8230;And then there is Pinta Miami, which celebrates its 20th anniversary this year.

Hay un riesgo con ese r&#243;tulo: cuando &#8220;latinoamericano&#8221; se vuelve una expectativa est&#233;tica (lo pol&#237;tico, lo identitario) que encasilla al artista. Prefiero hablar de arte desde Am&#233;rica Latina, como propone Gerardo Mosquera, m&#225;s que de &#8220;arte latinoamericano&#8221;. Esa etiqueta suele venir impuesta desde afuera y espera que las obras muestren cierta &#8220;latinoamericanidad&#8221; reconocible &#8212;lo pol&#237;tico, lo tel&#250;rico, lo ex&#243;tico&#8212;, y termina encerrando a los artistas en esa expectativa. Pensarlo desde la regi&#243;n no impone un estilo ni un tema: se&#241;ala un lugar desde donde uno mira y crea. Corre el foco: lo importante deja de ser el origen de la obra y pasa a ser la mirada del que la hace, con libertad para dialogar con el mundo sin tener que representar de d&#243;nde viene.</p><p>En las ferias de Pinta, cre&#233; y organic&#233; secciones como NEXT, RADAR, FORO, Editorial, Special Projects, Artista Homenaje, entre otras, que funcionan justamente como formas de leer

recientemente te haya sorprendido y que creas que merece mayor atenci&#243;n internacional?</strong></p><p><strong>IG:</strong> Estos 4 a&#241;os a cargo de la direcci&#243;n art&#237;stica me permitieron conocer no solo escenas que desconoc&#237;a, sino tambi&#233;n artistas, gestores y creadores. En Pinta Asunci&#243;n tuve la oportunidad de conocer de primera mano a Julia Isidrez, a Claudia Casarino, de trabajar junto a Ticio Escobar y Adriana Almada. Es una escena totalmente diferente al resto del Cono Sur y creo que merece la pena detenerse en ella.</p><p>Por otro lado, Panam&#225; tambi&#233;n fue muy enriquecedor para m&#237;. Tuve la oportunidad de trabajar junto a Lulu Lobos, Milko Delgado y Donna Conlon, artistas que creo fundamentales en la escena centroamericana. Sin dudas, Lima es una escena de lo m&#225;s diversa e interesante. Si bien conoc&#237;a a la mayor&#237;a de los artistas previo a mi trabajo en Pinta, a partir de mi rol pude trabajar con artistas como Claudia Coca, Martinat, Fernando Bryce, Alberto Casiari, Elena Damiani, F&#225;tima Rodrigo, Elena Tejada Herrera y m&#225;s.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"

la programaci&#243;n anual de Pinta y todas sus acciones.</p><p>Me interesa que se pueda leer como un programa completo, que articula las acciones de la feria, los Art Weeks, las alianzas que realizamos junto a la Fundaci&#243;n Pinta y nuestra l&#237;nea editorial Arte al D&#237;a.</p><p>Para m&#237;, la coherencia funciona como estructura, no como uniformidad.

Hay una relaci&#243;n entre unas y otras; las pienso como sistemas y no como compartimentos.</p><p>Adem&#225;s, trabajo con un gran equipo curatorial con el que estamos en constante di&#225;logo. Curadores que trabajan en instituciones claves en la regi&#243;n, que est&#225;n transformando la escena desde sus lugares y que traen a las ferias sus procesos de investigaci&#243;n, sus redes. La coherencia surge de una conversaci&#243;n entre curadores, no de una imposici&#243;n desde arriba. La diversidad de voces es parte del m&#233;todo.</p><p>Tambi&#233;n me parece importante destacar que FORO reuni&#243; m&#225;s de 100 voces entre 2023 y 2026, algo que habla de la diversidad de miradas que buscamos poner en conversaci&#243;n.

Siempre pienso qu&#233; suma esa galer&#237;a a la conversaci&#243;n de la feria.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!p56-!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F3087af5a-7dc1-4713-ace9-d6c195ced769_2292x1510.png" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!p56-!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F3087af5a-7dc1-4713-ace9-d6c195ced769_2292x1510.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!p56-!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F3087af5a-7dc1-4713-ace9-d6c195ced769_2292x1510.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!p56-!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F3087af5a-7dc1-4713-ace9-d6c195ced769_2292x1510.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!p56-!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F3087af5a-7dc1-4713-ace9-d6c195ced769_2292x1510.png 1456w" sizes="auto, 100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!p56-!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F3087af5a-7dc1-4713-ace9-d6c195ced769_2292x1510.png" width="1456" height="959" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/3087af5a-7dc1-4713-ace9-d6c195ced769_2292x1510.png&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:959,&quot;width&quot;:1456,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:null,&quot;bytes&quot;:6296584,&quot;alt&quot;:null,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;href&quot;:null,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:true,&quot;topImage&quot;:false,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:&quot;https://www.artinlatam.com/i/217987825?img=https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F3087af5a-7dc1-4713-ace9-d6c195ced769_2292x1510.png&quot;,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!p56-!,w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F3087af5a-7dc1-4713-ace9-d6c195ced769_2292x1510.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!p56-!,w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F3087af5a-7dc1-4713-ace9-d6c195ced769_2292x1510.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!p56-!,w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F3087af5a-7dc1-4713-ace9-d6c195ced769_2292x1510.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!p56-!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F3087af5a-7dc1-4713-ace9-d6c195ced769_2292x1510.png 1456w" sizes="auto, 100vw" loading="lazy"></picture><div class="image-link-expand"><div class="pencraft pc-display-flex pc-gap-8 pc-reset"><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container restack-image buttonBase-GK1x3M"><svg aria-hidden="true" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 20 20" fill="none" stroke-width="1.5" stroke="var(--color-fg-primary)" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" class="icon-noB79L"><g><path d="M2.53001 7.81595C3.49179 4.73911 6.43281 2.5 9.91173 2.5C13.1684 2.5 15.9537 4.46214 17.0852 7.23684L17.6179 8.67647M17.6179 8.67647L18.5002 4.26471M17.6179 8.67647L13.6473 6.91176M17.4995 12.1841C16.5378 15.2609 13.5967 17.5 10.1178 17.5C6.86118 17.5 4.07589 15.5379 2.94432 12.7632L2.41165 11.3235M2.41165 11.3235L1.5293 15.7353M2.41165 11.3235L6.38224 13.0882"></path></g></svg></button><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container view-image buttonBase-GK1x3M"><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="2" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" class="lucide lucide-maximize2 lucide-maximize-2 icon-noB79L"><polyline points="15 3 21 3 21 9"></polyline><polyline points="9 21 3 21 3 15"></polyline><line x1="21" x2="14" y1="3" y2="10"></line><line x1="3" x2="10" y1="21" y2="14"></line></svg></button></div></div></div></a><figcaption class="image-caption">Foro Pinta Lima 2026, 13.&#170;

De cara a Pinta BAphoto y Pinta Miami, &#191;qu&#233; te entusiasma especialmente de lo que viene y qu&#233; conversaciones curatoriales te gustar&#237;a poner en el centro?</strong></p><p><strong>IG:</strong> De cara a Pinta BAphoto hay varias cosas que me entusiasman. Por un lado, esta edici&#243;n coincide con los 200 a&#241;os del nacimiento de la fotograf&#237;a, y me parece una oportunidad muy interesante para pensar qu&#233; pas&#243; con el medio en todo este tiempo, c&#243;mo se transform&#243; y c&#243;mo hoy convive con otros lenguajes, soportes y formas de circulaci&#243;n. Eso aparece en distintas partes de la feria, no solo en las obras, sino tambi&#233;n en los proyectos especiales, las secciones curatoriales y FORO.</p><p>Tambi&#233;n vamos a recibir invitados internacionales muy importantes para la fotograf&#237;a. Va a estar Eve Schillo, curadora asociada del departamento de fotograf&#237;a de LACMA; Mar&#237;a Santoyo, directora de PHotoESPA&#209;A; y Thyago Nogueira, director del departamento de Arte Contempor&#225;neo y Fotograf&#237;a del Instituto Moreira Salles y editor fundador de ZUM. Para m&#237;, es muy valioso que puedan estar en Buenos Aires y participar de FORO, porque permite poner en di&#225;logo lo que pasa en la regi&#243;n con instituciones y escenas de otros lugares.</p><p>Adem&#225;s, este a&#241;o Pinta BAphoto abre una temporada muy especial para las artes visuales en Buenos Aires. A los pocos d&#237;as se suceden Central AFFAIR y arteBA, y creo que esta concentraci&#243;n genera algo muy interesante para la ciudad. Son ferias distintas, con identidades y p&#250;blicos propios, pero juntas construyen un momento de mucha circulaci&#243;n entre artistas, galer&#237;as, coleccionistas, curadores y profesionales que llegan desde distintos lugares.</p><p>Y despu&#233;s est&#225; Pinta Miami, que este a&#241;o celebra su 20 aniversario. Para m&#237;, es una edici&#243;n especial porque permite mirar todo el recorrido que hizo la feria y, al mismo tiempo, pensar c&#243;mo seguir creciendo sin perder su identidad. Pinta Miami tiene una escala boutique y una propuesta muy curada, donde cada proyecto tiene espacio para ser visto y donde buscamos generar un encuentro cercano entre galer&#237;as, artistas, coleccionistas, curadores e instituciones. Despu&#233;s de 20 a&#241;os, me interesa seguir profundizando ese lugar que tiene la feria dentro de Miami Art Week y su v&#237;nculo con las distintas escenas de Am&#233;rica Latina.</p><div><hr></div><div class="callout-block" data-callout="true"><p style="text-align: center;"><em>&#8220;Este a&#241;o Pinta BAphoto abre una temporada muy especial para las artes visuales en Buenos Aires&#8230;Y despu&#233;s est&#225; Pinta Miami, que este a&#241;o celebra su 20 aniversario.

D&#233;bora Delmar, Alessandra Risi, Emilia Gonz&#225;lez, Sof&#237;a Clausse and Malu Laet are among those presenting work outside the traditional gallery booth.</p><p>The focus on Mexico introduces a historical thread to the fair. Previously unseen works by Felipe Ehrenberg (1943&#8211;2017) will be shown alongside two video works by Pola Weiss (1947&#8211;1990), whose experimental approach to video made her a pioneering figure in Mexican art. Elsewhere, curator Juan Canela has organised a programme devoted to contemporary video art from Central America, with participating galleries and projects from Panama, Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras and Costa Rica.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"

His experience as an immigrant in the United States has shaped his work and his interest in displacement and distance.</p><p>In this conversation with <em>Art in Latin America</em>, L&#243;pez discusses how his personal history informs his practice, his interest in the Kaqchikel language and Maya culture, and the importance of making art accessible to audiences beyond institutional spaces.</p><div><hr></div><p style="text-align: center;"><em><span>Support </span>Art in Latin America<span>.

Where does this interest come from?</strong></p><p><strong>CL:</strong> It comes from my own experience. For me, geography has never been simply something I study through my work; it touches practically every aspect of my life. I come from Guatemala, but my mother, my sister, and I immigrated to the United States in 2001. I didn&#8217;t have official documents until 2012.</p><p>When you&#8217;re Latino in the United States, one of the questions you constantly hear is, &#8220;Where are you from?&#8221; Everything is determined, in one way or another, by where you were born, where you are, and what papers you have.</p><p>When I started making art, it was natural for all of that to enter my practice. There are many artists, both in Latin America and across its diasporas, who explore geography from different perspectives. In my case, it has to do with having crossed a border and understanding that this experience affects every aspect of your life. It&#8217;s something you can&#8217;t ignore.</p><div><hr></div><div class="callout-block" data-callout="true"><p style="text-align: center;"><em>&#8220;For me, geography has never been simply something I study through my work; it touches practically every aspect of my life.&#8221;</em></p></div><div><hr></div><p><strong>In recent years, you&#8217;ve increasingly worked with materials such as aluminum and various types of hardware. How did you come to work with these materials?</strong></p><p><strong>CL:</strong> Again, it has to do with my own experience. My use of these materials comes from thinking about the industrial spaces where people like me have been able to find work. When you don&#8217;t have papers in the United States, you often end up working under another name, with a kind of second identity. Much of the work available to people who arrive under those circumstances is in industrial settings.</p><p>I worked in places like meat-processing plants, cutting chicken. These are places where everything is made of metal; it feels like you&#8217;re inside a giant refrigerator. That was entirely my world at the time, and it&#8217;s still the reality for so many people today.</p><p>Of course, in the United States, there&#8217;s an entire history of Minimalism and industrial sculpture, particularly in New York. But you can also think, for example, of a Latin American artist like Edgar Negret. These kinds of structures and materials appear in different art histories and in different places.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img"

about the industrial spaces where people like me have been able to find work. When you don&#8217;t have papers in the United States, you often end up working under another name, with a kind of second identity. Much of the work available to people who arrive under those circumstances is in industrial settings. I worked in places like meat-processing plants, cutting chicken. These are places where everything is made of metal; it feels like you&#8217;re inside a giant refrigerator. That was entirely my world at the time, and it&#8217;s still the reality for so many people today.&#8221;</em></p></div><div><hr></div><p><strong>Your sculptures often repeat certain forms. What role does repetition play in your work?</strong></p><p><strong>CL:</strong> My earlier sculptures stem from my interest in the curvature of the planet. I think of a form in terms of a point A and a point B. We come back again to that question: Where are you from, and where are you now? Someone might say, &#8220;I&#8217;m from there, but I&#8217;m here,&#8221; or &#8220;I&#8217;m going there from here.&#8221;</p><p>What I&#8217;m trying to articulate through repetition is an accumulation of distances. Each segment of these works measures one foot [approximately 30 centimeters]. So, as I produce more sculptures, those measurements begin to accumulate into a real distance.</p><p>From the outside, you might simply see a repeated form, but for me, there&#8217;s an internal record of distance. I&#8217;m interested in the idea that a structure can contain twenty linear feet, then a hundred, then a hundred and fifty. It&#8217;s a way of materializing the journey</p><div><hr></div><div class="callout-block" data-callout="true"><p style="text-align: center;"><em>&#8220;My earlier sculptures stem from my interest in the curvature of the planet.

I&#8217;d like to reach a certain point, perhaps a hundred and fifty feet or some other distance, and be able to mark it.</p><p>I don&#8217;t know if I&#8217;ll ever reach a mile.

part of it has to do with Guatemala. Because of my immigration status in the United States, I haven&#8217;t been able to leave the country for a very long time. Sometimes I think about the idea of &#8220;the golden cage,&#8221; as in the song by Los Tigres del Norte: being here but not being able to return.</p><p>That&#8217;s why I&#8217;ve started studying more about the Maya in Guatemala. Before coming to the United States, we lived in a village outside a city. The way my grandparents and the people in those communities live is completely different from the way I live now.</p><p>I&#8217;m trying to educate myself about Kaqchikel, the language my grandmother speaks, but also about the stories that exist within that language. My mother and her sister speak it with each other, and they recognize that there are stories that only exist or are passed down in particular ways within that language. For me, studying it is a way of accessing another world.</p><div><hr></div><div class="callout-block" data-callout="true"><p style="text-align: center;"><em>&#8220;Sometimes I think about the idea of &#8220;the golden cage,&#8221; as in the song by Los Tigres del Norte: being here but not being able to return.&#8221;</em></p></div><div><hr></div><p><strong>Your work has entered new institutional contexts, through exhibitions and museum acquisitions. Has this changed the way you think about your practice?</strong></p><p><strong>CL: </strong>Yes, although I think change is normal. If you look at my work from a few years ago, there were more globes, paintings, and flags; then came the sculptures. Directions change.</p><p>Entering the museum circuit also means that people start to recognize you for certain types of work. That&#8217;s part of becoming a professional artist. Sometimes people approach you because of something specific they already know about your practice.</p><p>But I&#8217;d like to have more opportunities to speak with artists, gallerists, and curators who have strong connections to Guatemala. I&#8217;m in a situation where I can&#8217;t travel to the country, so I want to get closer to it, but my access is still limited.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a

How did that project come about?</strong></p><p><strong>CL:</strong> There&#8217;s a significant Latino community in Kansas City, but the institutions, galleries, and discourse surrounding Latino art often don&#8217;t reach a very specific level. Everything ends up being too general.</p><p>A colleague, Kiki, and I started by asking ourselves how we could create more opportunities for exhibitions featuring artists from Latin America. One of the problems was precisely that generalization: &#8220;Here are the Latino artists,&#8221; and then everything was reduced to certain moments or images, such as D&#237;a de Muertos. It never went any deeper.</p><p>We decided to organize exhibitions featuring ten different artists each time. We ended up putting together around ten or twelve shows over three years, one every two or three months. For now, there are no plans to continue the project, but the desire is still there.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"

La geograf&#237;a, para m&#237;, nunca ha sido solamente algo que estudio a trav&#233;s de mis obras, sino que toca pr&#225;cticamente todos los aspectos de mi vida. Yo vengo de Guatemala, pero mi mam&#225;, mi hermana y yo emigramos a Estados Unidos en 2001.

Hay muchos artistas, tanto en Am&#233;rica Latina como en sus di&#225;sporas, que investigan la geograf&#237;a desde lugares distintos. En mi caso, tiene que ver con haber cruzado una frontera y con entender que esa experiencia afecta todos los sectores de tu vida.

Mi uso de estos materiales viene de pensar en los espacios industriales donde personas como yo hemos tenido acceso al trabajo. Cuando no tienes papeles en Estados Unidos, muchas veces terminas trabajando con otro nombre, bajo una especie de segunda identidad. Buena parte del trabajo disponible para las personas que llegan en esas condiciones se encuentra en espacios industriales.</p><p>Yo trabaj&#233; en lugares como f&#225;bricas de procesamiento de carne, cortando pollo. Son lugares donde todo est&#225; hecho de metal; parece que est&#225;s dentro de un refrigerador gigante. Ese era completamente mi mundo en ese momento, y sigue siendo la realidad de much&#237;sima gente hoy en d&#237;a.</p><p>Claro que en Estados Unidos existe toda una historia del minimalismo y de la escultura industrial, particularmente en Nueva York. Pero tambi&#233;n puedes pensar, por ejemplo, en un artista latinoamericano como Edgar Negret.

los espacios industriales donde personas como yo hemos tenido acceso al trabajo. Cuando no tienes papeles en Estados Unidos, muchas veces terminas trabajando con otro nombre, bajo una especie de segunda identidad. Buena parte del trabajo disponible para las personas que llegan en esas condiciones se encuentra en espacios industriales. Yo trabaj&#233; en lugares como f&#225;bricas de procesamiento de carne, cortando pollo. Son lugares donde todo est&#225; hecho de metal; parece que est&#225;s dentro de un refrigerador gigante.

Entonces, a medida que produzco m&#225;s esculturas, esas medidas empiezan a acumular una distancia real.</p><p>Desde afuera quiz&#225; simplemente se ve una forma repetida, pero para m&#237; internamente existe ese registro de distancia.

trav&#233;s de La Onda. &#191;C&#243;mo surgi&#243; ese proyecto?</strong></p><p><strong>CL: </strong>En Kansas City hay una comunidad latina importante, pero las instituciones, las galer&#237;as y el discurso alrededor del arte latino muchas veces no llegan a un nivel muy espec&#237;fico. Todo termina siendo demasiado general.</p><p>Una colega, Kiki, y yo empezamos pregunt&#225;ndonos c&#243;mo pod&#237;amos conseguir que hubiera m&#225;s exposiciones de artistas de Am&#233;rica Latina. Uno de los problemas era precisamente esa generalizaci&#243;n: &#8220;Aqu&#237; est&#225;n los artistas latinos&#8221;, y luego todo se reduc&#237;a a determinados momentos o im&#225;genes, por ejemplo el D&#237;a de Muertos. Nunca se llegaba a algo m&#225;s profundo.</p><p>Decidimos hacer exposiciones con diez artistas diferentes cada vez. Terminamos organizando alrededor de diez o doce muestras durante tres a&#241;os, una cada dos o tres meses. Por ahora no hay planes para continuar el proyecto, pero s&#237; hay ganas.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"

Photo: Julian Quevedo.</figcaption></figure></div><p>Speaking with Sandra Monterroso (Guatemala, 1974) is to understand that, in her work, there are no clear boundaries between art, memory, and political action. Each answer leads to another layer of meaning, as though her textiles, videos, and performances were connected by a single ancestral thread running through time. What emerges is not merely the trajectory of a contemporary artist, but the persistent development of a voice that has transformed artistic practice into a space of cultural resistance and decolonial reflection.</p><p>When I ask her about the continuity of her artistic practice, Sandra does not begin by talking about techniques or exhibitions. Her answer turns immediately to what she considers the core of her entire artistic genealogy: &#8220;the defence of Indigenous peoples in the reconstruction of my own identity as a Maya woman and artist.&#8221; This statement offers a key to understanding a body of work in which artistic languages change, but the underlying thought remains constant. Textiles, performance, and video emerge as different vehicles for the same exploration of identity, territory, and memory.</p><p>The conversation inevitably turns to textiles, one of the most recognisable aspects of her practice. Sandra recalls, however, that her initial approach to this medium was not part of a preconceived plan. It all began in 2008, while she was designing costumes for an audiovisual work entitled Meditando el error. Textiles, she explains, initially served as a scenographic resource, but something changed when she observed those pieces outside the context of the video. She discovered that they possessed a power of their own. From that moment on, she decided to continue exploring a language that would eventually become a fundamental aspect of her career.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a

How did those early encounters shape your path toward painting?</strong></p><p><strong>LS:</strong> I think art came to me through imagination. Even though my childhood was marked by social issues, I would create a different world through my imagination. As we grow up, we look for other ways to express ourselves and to keep moving through life. Art became a way for me to continue accessing that place that, until then, had remained in my childhood.</p><p>In my pre-teen years, I discovered the city&#8217;s graffiti and murals while walking around with my mother or grandmother. Street art is very democratic, and it was through it that I realized I wanted to be an artist. I would use any material that could offer me color: nail polish, charcoal, makeup, eyeshadow, and so on. When I painted, I felt as though I were creating a different universe for myself. I would even paint on the walls of my house.</p><p>I started working when I was very young to help my family. Between 2016 and 2021, I worked as a salesperson and later as an art assistant at an art supply store in S&#227;o Paulo. I always say that place was my college. I learned about different materials and techniques, and I met many artists. It was there that I began painting on canvas and experimenting with different techniques.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!6z9M!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F7e7df9dd-a04c-4327-9b8b-f3bf41dfe9a8_834x1024.jpeg" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!6z9M!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F7e7df9dd-a04c-4327-9b8b-f3bf41dfe9a8_834x1024.jpeg 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!6z9M!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F7e7df9dd-a04c-4327-9b8b-f3bf41dfe9a8_834x1024.jpeg 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!6z9M!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F7e7df9dd-a04c-4327-9b8b-f3bf41dfe9a8_834x1024.jpeg 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!6z9M!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F7e7df9dd-a04c-4327-9b8b-f3bf41dfe9a8_834x1024.jpeg 1456w" sizes="auto, 100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!6z9M!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F7e7df9dd-a04c-4327-9b8b-f3bf41dfe9a8_834x1024.jpeg" width="834" height="1024" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/7e7df9dd-a04c-4327-9b8b-f3bf41dfe9a8_834x1024.jpeg&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:1024,&quot;width&quot;:834,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:null,&quot;bytes&quot;:173043,&quot;alt&quot;:null,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;href&quot;:null,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:true,&quot;topImage&quot;:false,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:&quot;https://www.artinlatam.com/i/216129132?img=https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F7e7df9dd-a04c-4327-9b8b-f3bf41dfe9a8_834x1024.jpeg&quot;,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!6z9M!,w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F7e7df9dd-a04c-4327-9b8b-f3bf41dfe9a8_834x1024.jpeg 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!6z9M!,w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F7e7df9dd-a04c-4327-9b8b-f3bf41dfe9a8_834x1024.jpeg 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!6z9M!,w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F7e7df9dd-a04c-4327-9b8b-f3bf41dfe9a8_834x1024.jpeg 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!6z9M!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F7e7df9dd-a04c-4327-9b8b-f3bf41dfe9a8_834x1024.jpeg 1456w" sizes="auto, 100vw" loading="lazy"></picture><div class="image-link-expand"><div class="pencraft pc-display-flex pc-gap-8 pc-reset"><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container restack-image buttonBase-GK1x3M"><svg aria-hidden="true" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 20 20" fill="none" stroke-width="1.5" stroke="var(--color-fg-primary)" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" class="icon-noB79L"><g><path d="M2.53001 7.81595C3.49179 4.73911 6.43281 2.5 9.91173 2.5C13.1684 2.5 15.9537 4.46214 17.0852 7.23684L17.6179 8.67647M17.6179 8.67647L18.5002 4.26471M17.6179 8.67647L13.6473 6.91176M17.4995 12.1841C16.5378 15.2609 13.5967 17.5 10.1178 17.5C6.86118 17.5 4.07589 15.5379 2.94432 12.7632L2.41165 11.3235M2.41165 11.3235L1.5293 15.7353M2.41165 11.3235L6.38224 13.0882"></path></g></svg></button><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container view-image buttonBase-GK1x3M"><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="2" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" class="lucide lucide-maximize2 lucide-maximize-2 icon-noB79L"><polyline points="15 3 21 3 21 9"></polyline><polyline points="9 21 3 21 3 15"></polyline><line x1="21" x2="14" y1="3" y2="10"></line><line x1="3" x2="10" y1="21" y2="14"></line></svg></button></div></div></div></a><figcaption class="image-caption">Larissa de Souza, <em>Walls that tell stories &#8211;

Talking about the spirituality present in our everyday lives is also about believing that there is something beyond this life and that we are not alone.</p><div><hr></div><div class="callout-block" data-callout="true"><p style="text-align: center;"><em>&#8220;I think bringing spirituality into my painting is as natural as eating.

How have those encounters changed the way you think about ancestry and your own practice?</strong></p><p><strong>LS:</strong> Going to Angola was one of the most incredible experiences of my life. There, I learned even more about how deeply Bantu culture is present in Brazil, even in our language. I also learned that many of us carry an image of Africa in our minds&#8212;an imagined, mythical Africa&#8212;and that we need to deconstruct many of the ideas and assumptions we hold.</p><p>During my residency at Angola Air, I was able to listen to many artists and meet people from different walks of life. Hearing their stories inspired me. The year after the residency, I returned to Luanda on my own. I wanted to research popular beliefs there without going deeply into any specific religion. I then created a series of paintings called <em>F&#233; Feiti&#231;o</em>, in which I brought together Brazilian and Angolan beliefs, giving voice to what we learn through oral tradition and reflecting on how much of this knowledge we are losing with the advancement of modernity and globalization.</p><p>What I brought into my practice is more about the process of being attentive to feeling, listening, and experience. In the end, these things can be very important to artistic creativity.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!tKSa!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F8774fddb-5949-4ec5-904d-78fbf7195365_1736x1162.png" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!tKSa!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F8774fddb-5949-4ec5-904d-78fbf7195365_1736x1162.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!tKSa!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F8774fddb-5949-4ec5-904d-78fbf7195365_1736x1162.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!tKSa!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F8774fddb-5949-4ec5-904d-78fbf7195365_1736x1162.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!tKSa!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F8774fddb-5949-4ec5-904d-78fbf7195365_1736x1162.png 1456w" sizes="auto, 100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!tKSa!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F8774fddb-5949-4ec5-904d-78fbf7195365_1736x1162.png" width="1456" height="975" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/8774fddb-5949-4ec5-904d-78fbf7195365_1736x1162.png&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:975,&quot;width&quot;:1456,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:null,&quot;bytes&quot;:1298981,&quot;alt&quot;:null,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;href&quot;:null,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:true,&quot;topImage&quot;:false,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:&quot;https://www.artinlatam.com/i/216129132?img=https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F8774fddb-5949-4ec5-904d-78fbf7195365_1736x1162.png&quot;,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!tKSa!,w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F8774fddb-5949-4ec5-904d-78fbf7195365_1736x1162.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!tKSa!,w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F8774fddb-5949-4ec5-904d-78fbf7195365_1736x1162.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!tKSa!,w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F8774fddb-5949-4ec5-904d-78fbf7195365_1736x1162.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!tKSa!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F8774fddb-5949-4ec5-904d-78fbf7195365_1736x1162.png 1456w" sizes="auto, 100vw" loading="lazy"></picture><div class="image-link-expand"><div class="pencraft pc-display-flex pc-gap-8 pc-reset"><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container restack-image buttonBase-GK1x3M"><svg aria-hidden="true" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 20 20" fill="none" stroke-width="1.5" stroke="var(--color-fg-primary)" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" class="icon-noB79L"><g><path d="M2.53001 7.81595C3.49179 4.73911 6.43281 2.5 9.91173 2.5C13.1684 2.5 15.9537 4.46214 17.0852 7.23684L17.6179 8.67647M17.6179 8.67647L18.5002 4.26471M17.6179 8.67647L13.6473 6.91176M17.4995 12.1841C16.5378 15.2609 13.5967 17.5 10.1178 17.5C6.86118 17.5 4.07589 15.5379 2.94432 12.7632L2.41165 11.3235M2.41165 11.3235L1.5293 15.7353M2.41165 11.3235L6.38224 13.0882"></path></g></svg></button><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container view-image buttonBase-GK1x3M"><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="2" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" class="lucide lucide-maximize2 lucide-maximize-2 icon-noB79L"><polyline points="15 3 21 3 21 9"></polyline><polyline points="9 21 3 21 3 15"></polyline><line x1="21" x2="14" y1="3" y2="10"></line><line x1="3" x2="10" y1="21" y2="14"></line></svg></button></div></div></div></a><figcaption class="image-caption"><span>Installation view of </span><em>F&#233;

Usually, I would do this without having much time: I would experiment within works that I already needed to finish and deliver. It was a little risky, but it was also interesting. Now, I&#8217;ve decided to take a break from deadlines so that I can dedicate myself to experimenting with different practices.

Aunque mi infancia estuvo marcada por problem&#225;ticas sociales, yo creaba un mundo distinto a trav&#233;s de mi imaginaci&#243;n. A medida que crecemos, buscamos otras formas de expresarnos y de seguir avanzando en la vida. El arte se convirti&#243; para m&#237; en una manera de seguir accediendo a ese lugar que, hasta entonces, hab&#237;a permanecido en mi infancia.</p><p>Durante mi preadolescencia, descubr&#237; los grafitis y murales de la ciudad mientras caminaba con mi madre o mi abuela. El arte urbano es muy democr&#225;tico, y fue a trav&#233;s de &#233;l que entend&#237; que quer&#237;a ser artista. Utilizaba cualquier material que pudiera ofrecerme color: esmalte de u&#241;as, carb&#243;n, maquillaje, sombra de ojos, entre otros. Cuando pintaba, sent&#237;a que estaba creando un universo diferente para m&#237;. Incluso pintaba las paredes de mi casa.</p><p>Empec&#233; a trabajar desde muy joven para ayudar a mi familia. Entre 2016 y 2021, trabaj&#233; como vendedora y despu&#233;s como asistente de arte en una tienda de materiales art&#237;sticos en S&#227;o Paulo. Siempre digo que ese lugar fue mi universidad. All&#237; aprend&#237; sobre distintos materiales y t&#233;cnicas, y conoc&#237; a muchos artistas. Fue tambi&#233;n all&#237; donde empec&#233; a pintar sobre lienzo y a experimentar con diferentes t&#233;cnicas.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2

All&#237; aprend&#237; a&#250;n m&#225;s sobre la profunda presencia de la cultura bant&#250; en Brasil, incluso en nuestro idioma.

Quer&#237;a investigar las creencias populares de all&#237; sin adentrarme demasiado en ninguna religi&#243;n espec&#237;fica. Despu&#233;s cre&#233; una serie de pinturas titulada <em>F&#233; Feiti&#231;o</em>, en la que reun&#237; creencias brasile&#241;as y angole&#241;as, dando voz a aquello que aprendemos a trav&#233;s de la tradici&#243;n oral y reflexionando sobre cu&#225;nto de ese conocimiento estamos perdiendo con el avance de la modernidad y la globalizaci&#243;n.</p><p>Lo que incorpor&#233; a mi pr&#225;ctica tiene m&#225;s que ver con el proceso de prestar atenci&#243;n a los sentimientos, a la escucha y a la experiencia.

More than 1,200 years after those words were first traced in black ink onto paper made from rattan and mulberry bark, the principle embodied in Du Fu&#8217;s verses continues to resonate today. Like China&#8217;s Sword of Goujian, these lines cut across distant latitudes and centuries of artistic and dynastic renewal: empires of power and knowledge may change, but landscapes endure.</p><p>To paraphrase the Chilean writer Benjam&#237;n Labatut, another, more recent gnomic author, reality does not exist independently of the act of observation. According to the history the South American writer unfolds in his books, scientists such as Niels Bohr and Werner Heisenberg repeatedly struggled to &#8220;deal with the paradoxes and contradictions [of science].&#8221; In <em>When We Cease to Understand the World</em>, Labatut constructs cautionary tales around scientific breakthroughs throughout history that proved to be double-edged swords. These include, for example, the invention of Prussian blue, which would later lead to Zyklon B, and the theory of relativity, which ultimately contributed to nuclear fission and the invention of the atomic bomb.</p><p><em>Un verdor terrible</em> was published in English under the title <em>When We Cease to Understand the World</em>, although its literal translation would be <em>A Terrible Greenness</em>. Alluding to the recurring and horrifying vision suffered by chemist Fritz Haber&#8212;inventor of artificial fertilizers and mustard gas&#8212;of plants taking over the world, the phrase comes immediately to mind (as does Du Fu&#8217;s relentless poem) when looking at <a href="https://www.instagram.com/junmtinez/?hl=en">Jos&#233; Jun Mart&#237;nez</a>&#8217;s vigorously redemptive paintings

2020.</figcaption></figure></div><p>Mart&#237;nez, a Puerto Rican-born and raised artist who trained at London&#8217;s Royal College of Art, has committed himself to a form of landscape painting that is stubbornly anachronistic and fiercely idiosyncratic. He creates heavily impastoed oil paintings, and his body of work feels at once resolutely traditional and passionately unusual. Like Du Fu&#8217;s poem, originally rendered in pictograms, Mart&#237;nez&#8217;s paintings combine reflections on a broken country with a commitment to art as &#8220;an exercise in active contemplation.&#8221; The object of Mart&#237;nez&#8217;s hyper-focused observation is Puerto Rico&#8217;s tropical flora, on an island ravaged by colonialism, corruption, and increasingly severe disasters brought about by climate change and political dysfunction.</p><p>If Mart&#237;nez&#8217;s giant paintings of flowers&#8212;and trees and rivers&#8212;could speak, they would denounce the vulnerability of human-made systems. At the same time, they would proclaim the tenacity of nature and the measures by which that resilience might be understood. &#8220;A painter can say all he wants to with fruit or flowers, or even clouds,&#8221; &#201;douard Manet once told an interlocutor, illustrating the indifference that the artist regarded as the father of Impressionism felt toward the conventional hierarchy of genres. In the late nineteenth century, those hierarchies established the primacy of history painting&#8212;that is, classical, religious, mythological, and allegorical subjects&#8212;over every other subject rendered in oil, including scenes of everyday life, portraiture, still life, and landscape.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img"

Photo: Raquel P&#233;rez Puig.</figcaption></figure></div><p>One hundred and fifty years later, these genres have mingled and multiplied promiscuously, largely in the service of conceptual approaches to art-making. For the young Mart&#237;nez&#8212;he is 32&#8212;the act of painting constitutes both an affirmation of his &#8220;fields of flowers&#8221; and an aesthetic rebellion. In response to the world&#8217;s unreflective technophilia and what he calls the &#8220;individual and collective fatigue&#8221; of our time, his anthophilia&#8212;his love of flowers&#8212;offers a rigorous, swirling portrait of nature&#8217;s indomitable creativity, in the spirit of Vincent van Gogh.</p><p>&#8220;Considering everything we have lived through in recent years,&#8221; Mart&#237;nez says of Puerto Rico, his homeland, &#8220;my artistic practice has led me to sow fields of flowers and weeds across my canvases.&#8221; From painting floral arrangements to &#8220;spending months visiting a farm in the El Yunque rainforest to paint flowers <em>en plein air</em>,&#8221; the artist has moved between studios in San Juan and London, expanding both the ambitions and the scale of his paintings.</p><p>Consider <em>El Abrazo de las Fieras</em> (<em>The Embrace of the Beasts</em>, 2022) and <em>Quince Segundos Antes de la Medianoche </em>(<em>Fifteen Seconds Before Midnight</em>, 2023). The former depicts a field of wildflowers across an enormous eight-by-eight-foot canvas, like a wall in bloom. The latter presents the intensely yellow flowers of a flamboyant tree, a botanical transplant whose ability to withstand climatic events such as storms and hurricanes is legendary. Mart&#237;nez&#8217;s golden spray also appears as a flower the size of a bear, as though the plant were rising onto its hind legs: a cosmic, enveloping presence, safeguarding life amid a recurring regime of disaster and embodying the regenerative force Mart&#237;nez calls &#8220;dynamic hope.&#8221;</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img"

2023. Oil on canvas. Polyptych comprising 10 panels.</span></figcaption></figure></div><p>Flowers are a familiar and enduring subject throughout the history of Western art. In religious imagery, lilies symbolize the purity of the Virgin Mary. In Baroque vanitas paintings, cut flowers serve as stark reminders of mortality. Monet and Matisse turned to botanical subjects to explore the qualities of light and color.</p><p>The Surrealists introduced floral motifs into their investigations of dreams and metamorphosis. Georgia O&#8217;Keeffe used floral imagery in enlarged, almost abstract close-ups to draw the viewer&#8217;s gaze ever closer. Mart&#237;nez, a thoroughly contemporary artist who uses painting&#8212;perhaps humanity&#8217;s most determined study of the visible&#8212;as a bastion against some of the world&#8217;s most intractable challenges, invokes this extensive history while appropriating the formal and symbolic potential of flowers as a vital force.</p><p>From Mart&#237;nez&#8217;s blank canvases emerges a generative abundance that he has transformed into an artistic mission. The enormous petals, stigmas, and stamens in his compositions, which in turn form gigantic flowers, paradoxically answer a question he has posed in several public statements: &#8220;When everything passes, what remains?&#8221;</p><p>The answer, as embodied in his powerful paintings, echoes Du Fu: &#8220;The nation is shattered; the flowers and nature remain.&#8221;</p><div><hr></div><p><em><strong><span data-color="#c266ff" style="color: rgb(194, 102, 255);">Written by:</span></strong></em> <a href="https://www.instagram.com/viverosfaune/?hl=en">Christian Viveros-Faun&#233;</a> has worked as a gallerist, art-fair director, art critic, and curator since 1994.

C.), de la dinast&#237;a Tang, describe en este verso el tumulto que tuvo lugar tras la sangrienta rebeli&#243;n china de An Lushan (755-63 d. C.) en medio de la cruel ambivalencia del florecimiento anual de la naturaleza. &#8220;Las llamas de la guerra han ardido tres meses seguidos&#8221;, relata Du Fu, <span>&#8220;</span>La primavera ha llegado a la capital, y espesas matas la sepultan.&#8221; Mientras los p&#225;jaros cantan y las flores florecen, millones de personas sufren y los palacios arden. Tras m&#225;s de 1.200 a&#241;os desde que se trazaran esas palabras con tinta negra sobre papel de rat&#225;n y corteza de morera, el principio que reflejan los versos de Du Fu sigue perdurando en la actualidad. Como la Espada de Goujian de China, estos versos traspasan latitudes lejanas y siglos de renovaci&#243;n art&#237;stica y din&#225;stica: los imperios del poder y del conocimiento var&#237;an, pero los paisajes son eternos.</p><p>Parafraseando al escritor chileno Benjam&#237;n Labatut, otro autor gn&#243;mico de cosecha m&#225;s reciente, la realidad no existe como algo independiente del acto de la observaci&#243;n. Seg&#250;n la historia que este autor sudamericano refleja en sus libros, cient&#237;ficos como Neils Bohry Werner Heisenberg fracasaron repetidas veces a la hora de<span> &#8220;</span>lidiar con las paradojas y las contradicciones (de la ciencia)&#8221;. El autor de <em>Un verdor terrible</em>, Labatut, crea cuentos con moraleja sobre distintos avances cient&#237;ficos a lo largo de la historia que son un arma de doble filo. Por ejemplo, la invenci&#243;n del azul de Prusia, que m&#225;s tarde deriv&#243; en el Zyklon B; y la teor&#237;a de la relatividad, que dio lugar a la fisi&#243;n nuclear y a la invenci&#243;n de la bomba at&#243;mica.</p><p>La obra <em>Un Verdor Terrible </em>se ha publicado en ingl&#233;s bajo el t&#237;tulo <em>When We Cease to Understand the World</em>, siendo la traducci&#243;n realmente <span>&#8220;</span>A Terrible Greenness&#8221;. Haciendo alusi&#243;n a una visi&#243;n recurrente y horrible de plantas apoder&#225;ndose del mundo que sufr&#237;a el qu&#237;mico Fritz Haber, inventor de los fertilizantes artificiales y del gas mostaza, la frase nos viene directamente a la mente (a la vez que el implacable poema de Du Fu) tal como vemos las pinturas de flores vigorosamente redentoras de <a

2020.</figcaption></figure></div><p>Mart&#237;nez, un artista formado en la Royal College of Art de Londres, nacido y criado en Puerto Rico, se ha comprometido con un tipo de paisajismo tenazmente anacr&#243;nico y ferozmente idiosincr&#225;tico. Crea cuadros al &#243;leo fuertemente empastados y su l&#237;nea de trabajo resulta firmemente tradicional y apasionadamente inusual. Como el poema de Du Fu, originalmente plasmado en pictogramas, las pinturas de Mart&#237;nez combinan las reflexiones sobre un pa&#237;s roto con un compromiso con el arte como <span>&#8220;</span>un ejercicio de contemplaci&#243;n activa&#8221;. El objeto de la observaci&#243;n hiperfocalizada de Mart&#237;nez es la flora tropical de Puerto Rico, una isla destrozada por el colonialismo, la corrupci&#243;n y el agravamiento de las cat&#225;strofes causadas por el cambio clim&#225;tico y la disfunci&#243;n pol&#237;tica. </p><p>Si los cuadros de flores gigantes (y &#225;rboles y r&#237;os) de Mart&#237;nez hablaran, denunciar&#237;an la vulnerabilidad de los sistemas creados por el hombre. De igual manera, proclamar&#237;an la tenacidad de la naturaleza y las m&#233;tricas capaces de captar esa resiliencia. <strong><span>&#8220;</span></strong>Un pintor puede decir todo lo que quiera con frutas o flores, o incluso nubes&#8221; dijo &#201;douard Manet a un interlocutor para ilustrar la indiferencia que, el considerado padre del Impresionismo, mostraba por la convencional jerarqu&#237;a de los g&#233;neros. A finales del siglo XIX, esas jerarqu&#237;as formulaban la primac&#237;a de la pintura de historia (es decir, los temas cl&#225;sicos, religiosos, mitol&#243;gicos y aleg&#243;ricos) sobre todos los dem&#225;s temas pintados al &#243;leo (escenas de la vida cotidiana, retratos, naturaleza muerta y paisajes). </p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2

Foto: Raquel P&#233;rez Puig.</figcaption></figure></div><p>Ciento cincuenta a&#241;os despu&#233;s, dichos g&#233;neros se han mezclado y multiplicado promiscuamente, en gran medida al servicio de enfoques conceptuales de la creaci&#243;n art&#237;stica. Para el joven Mart&#237;nez (tiene 32 a&#241;os), el acto de pintar constituye a la vez una afirmaci&#243;n de sus <span>&#8220;</span>campos de flores&#8221; y una rebeld&#237;a est&#233;tica. Como respuesta a la tecnofilia irreflexiva del mundo y lo que denomina la &#8220;fatiga individual y colectiva&#8221; de nuestro tiempo, su antofilia (el amor por las flores) muestra un retrato riguroso y arremolinado de la indomable creatividad de la naturaleza, al estilo de Vincent van Gogh.</p><p>&#8220;Teniendo en cuenta todo lo que hemos vivido en los &#250;ltimos a&#241;os&#8221;, comenta Mart&#237;nez sobre Puerto Rico, su pa&#237;s de origen, &#8220;mi pr&#225;ctica art&#237;stica me ha llevado a sembrar campos de flores y maleza en mis lienzos.&#8221; Desde pintar cuadros de arreglos florales a &#8220;pasar meses visitando una finca en el bosque tropical El Yunque para retratar flores <em>en plein air</em>&#8221;, el artista se ha trasladado a estudios en San Juan y en Londres, lo que ha expandido tanto las expectativas como el tama&#241;o de sus pinturas. </p><p>Analicemos los cuadros <em>El Abrazo de las Fieras </em>(2022) y <em>Quince Segundos Antes de la Medianoche </em>(2023). El primero muestra un campo de flores silvestres en un enorme lienzo de ocho por ocho, como si de una pared en flor se tratara; el segundo nos presenta las flores en un tono amarillo intenso de un flamboy&#225;n, un trasplante bot&#225;nico cuya resistencia frente a fen&#243;menos clim&#225;ticos como tormentas y huracanes es legendaria. El golden spray de Mart&#237;nez tambi&#233;n se muestra como una flor del tama&#241;o de un oso, como si la planta se alzara sobre sus patas traseras; una presencia c&#243;smica y envolvente, garante de la vida en medio de un r&#233;gimen regular de desastres y un s&#237;mbolo de la fuerza regenerativa que Mart&#237;nez denomina <span>&#8220;</span>esperanza din&#225;mica&#8221;.</p><div

En la imaginer&#237;a religiosa, los lirios simbolizan la pureza de la Virgen Mar&#237;a. En las pinturas vanitas del barroco, las flores cortadas son una cruda alusi&#243;n a la mortalidad. Monet y Matisse recurrieron a temas bot&#225;nicos para estudiar las cualidades de la luz y del color.</p><p>Los surrealistas introdujeron los motivos florales en su estudio de los sue&#241;os y la metamorfosis. Georgia O&#8217;Keeffe us&#243; las im&#225;genes florales en sus pinturas con primeros planos ampliados y casi abstractos para atraer a&#250;n m&#225;s la mirada. Mart&#237;nez, un artista completamente contempor&#225;neo que utiliza la pintura (probablemente el estudio de lo visible m&#225;s decidido de la historia de la humanidad) como basti&#243;n contra los retos m&#225;s inextricables del mundo, evoca esta extensa historia, a la vez que se apropia del potencial formal y simb&#243;lico de las flores como fuerza vital. </p><p>De los lienzos en blanco de Mart&#237;nez emerge una plenitud generativa que ha transformado en una misi&#243;n art&#237;stica. Los enormes p&#233;talos, estigmas y estambres de sus composiciones que, a su vez, forman flores gigantes, responden parad&#243;jicamente a una pregunta que ha planteado en varias declaraciones p&#250;blicas: <span>&#8220;</span>Cuando todo pasa, &#191;qu&#233; perdura?&#8221; La respuesta, tal como se plasma en sus poderosas pinturas, se hace <span>eco de Du Fu: &#8220;</span>La patria est&#225; quebrantada, permanecen las flores y la naturaleza&#8221;.</p><div><hr></div><p><em><strong><span data-color="#c266ff" style="color: rgb(194, 102, 255);">Escrito por: </span></strong></em><a href="https://www.instagram.com/viverosfaune/?hl=en">Christian Viveros-Faun&#233;</a><strong> </strong><span>ha trabajado como galerista, director de ferias de arte, cr&#237;tico de arte y comisario desde 1994.

Contemporary Art, San Juan, Puerto Rico.</strong></p><div><hr></div><p>This edition of <strong>On View</strong> takes us to San Juan, where <a href="https://www.instagram.com/stillz/?hl=en">Stillz</a> presents his first exhibition in the Caribbean at <a href="https://www.instagram.com/wocapr/?hl=en">Walter Otero Contemporary Art</a>. Stillz has been presented as the Andy Warhol of his generation, a comparison rooted in his use of Polaroids and the consistency of his visual language across different media.</p><p>Titled <em>It&#8217;s a Beautiful Day, You&#8217;ll See Someone Come Along and Ruin It</em>, the exhibition offers a broader look at a practice that moves between photography, painting, music video and film. Stillz, born in Miami to Colombian parents, began photographing friends skating as a teenager before developing his practice in New York. He has since become widely recognized for his Polaroids and collaborations with figures such as Bad Bunny, while continuing to build a body of work beyond the images most associated with his public profile.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"

You&#8217;ll See Someone Come Along and Ruin It</em>, at Walter Otero Contemporary Art.</figcaption></figure></div><p>The exhibition places that wider practice at the center. Stillz is a self-taught painter who developed under the influence of Julio Larraz, with his work now moving between photography, silkscreen and painting. As he travels, he sets up temporary studios in the cities where he spends time, producing a large body of work that has only gradually been made visible.</p><p>For curator <a href="https://www.instagram.com/the.visitoreconomy/?hl=en">Marina Reyes-Franco</a>, movement is an important part of understanding the work. She describes Stillz as a constant traveler who, despite being afraid of takeoff, repeatedly photographs the view from the airplane window. She reads the gesture as a way of capturing what she calls &#8220;the divine and the ominous simultaneously.&#8221;</p><p>That tension also runs through Stillz&#8217;s relationship with visibility. His work is closely tied to some of the most recognizable faces in popular culture, yet he has maintained a deliberately private presence. He has described his work as a way of revealing himself gradually, &#8220;like a puzzle,&#8221; while preferring to remain behind the images he creates.</p><div

primera exposici&#243;n en el Caribe en <a href="https://www.instagram.com/wocapr/?hl=en">Walter Otero Contemporary Art</a>. Stillz ha sido presentado como el Andy Warhol de su generaci&#243;n, una comparaci&#243;n basada en su uso de la Polaroid y en la consistencia de su lenguaje visual a trav&#233;s de distintos medios.</p><p>Titulada <em>It&#8217;s a Beautiful Day, You&#8217;ll See Someone Come Along and Ruin It</em>, la exposici&#243;n ofrece una mirada m&#225;s amplia a una pr&#225;ctica que se mueve entre la fotograf&#237;a, la pintura, el videoclip y el cine. Nacido en Miami de padres colombianos, Stillz comenz&#243; fotografiando a sus amigos mientras patinaban cuando era adolescente, antes de desarrollar su pr&#225;ctica en Nueva York. Desde entonces, se ha hecho ampliamente conocido por sus Polaroids y sus colaboraciones con figuras como Bad Bunny, al tiempo que ha seguido construyendo un cuerpo de obra m&#225;s all&#225; de las

C&#243;mo Viene Alguno Y Lo Jode</em>, en Walter Otero Contemporary Art.</figcaption></figure></div><p>La exposici&#243;n sit&#250;a en el centro esa pr&#225;ctica m&#225;s amplia. Stillz es un pintor autodidacta que se form&#243; bajo la influencia de Julio Larraz, y su trabajo se mueve hoy entre la fotograf&#237;a, la serigraf&#237;a y la pintura. A medida que viaja, instala estudios temporales en las ciudades donde pasa temporadas, produciendo un amplio cuerpo de obra que solo gradualmente ha comenzado a hacerse visible.</p><p>Para la curadora <a href="https://www.instagram.com/the.visitoreconomy/?hl=en">Marina Reyes-Franco</a>, el movimiento es una parte importante para comprender su trabajo. Describe a Stillz como un viajero constante que, a pesar de su miedo al despegue, fotograf&#237;a repetidamente la vista desde la ventanilla del avi&#243;n. Interpreta ese gesto como una forma de capturar lo que ella llama &#8220;lo divino y lo ominoso simult&#225;neamente&#8221;.</p><p>Esa tensi&#243;n tambi&#233;n atraviesa la relaci&#243;n de Stillz con la visibilidad. Su obra est&#225; estrechamente vinculada a algunos de los rostros m&#225;s reconocibles de la cultura popular, pero &#233;l ha mantenido una presencia deliberadamente privada. Ha descrito su trabajo como una forma de revelarse poco a poco, &#8220;como un rompecabezas&#8221;, mientras prefiere permanecer detr&#225;s de las im&#225;genes que crea.</p><div

Working with materials that range from traditional painterly surfaces to underwear, bedsheets, tights, and hair, Fern&#225;ndez explores the boundaries of what a painting can be while examining the relationship between the intimacy and materiality.</p><p>In conversation with <em>Art in Latin America</em>, Fern&#225;ndez discusses the influence of philosophy on her way of thinking and the introduction of personal materials into her work. She reflects on feminism and womanhood, intimacy and visibility, the experience of living between Mexico, Germany, and the United Kingdom, and her growing interest in the performative possibilities of painting.</p><div><hr></div><p style="text-align: center;"><span>Support </span><em>Art in Latin America</em><span>.

When you think about your practice today, do you still primarily think of yourself as a painter?</strong></p><p><strong>RF:</strong> I do think of myself as a painter because, even though my practice has widened and I&#8217;ve incorporated new aspects to it, I&#8217;m always thinking in terms of painting taken to the limits. </p><p>For instance, when I work with personal objects, such as underwear, I think of them as if they were canvas, it&#8217;s just cotton fabric in the end. I consider if I should prime it, how many layers of primer, I think of how to stretch it, etc. I like to speculate on what a painting can be - or cannot be - and the formal reasons behind it. This is actually the fun part: to bend and play with preconceived notions.</p><div><hr></div><div class="callout-block" data-callout="true"><p style="text-align: center;"><em>&#8220;I like to speculate on what a painting can be - or cannot be - and the formal reasons behind it.&#8221;</em></p></div><div><hr></div><p><strong>You studied philosophy before pursuing painting. How has philosophy expanded the way you think about art? Was there anything about studying philosophy that you eventually found limiting, and that making art allowed you to approach differently?</strong></p><p><strong>RF:</strong> Art-making can be incredibly philosophical, but Philosophy is not necessarily related to the creative process behind an artistic practice. This doesn&#8217;t mean that philosophical research isn&#8217;t creative or that it doesn&#8217;t require a certain degree of artistry - it&#8217;s very appreciated when philosophers are good writers, I&#8217;d say - what I mean by this is that they do two very different things in the brain. At least they do in mine.</p><p>Studying philosophy shaped my way of thinking about anything. I had a great professor during my BA that used to say that studying Philosophy could be useful to anyone, regardless of what they ended up doing in life, because it enables you to systematize - or categorize - whatever new skill or knowledge you need to acquire, therefore, making it easier to learn anything new. I see what she meant by this, I inevitably categorise my thoughts, particularly around my practice. But, paradoxically enough, I think my most successful works have emerged from a raw material sensibility, intuition and free exploration, rather than from conceptual categorisation, even if I always come back to it.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"

Actually, I&#8217;ve been thinking a lot about relationships between contraries: the inner and outer, love and hate, restraint and surrender. But, in terms of the first two, what interests me about them is how they relate both to the body and to painting. I find it interesting how these two coincide in formal and thematic terms.</p><p>Questions around embodiment and subjectivity interest me greatly too, particularly how these two relate and determine each other, in other words: to what extent is one&#8217;s own subjectivity determined by some sense of embodiment (and vice versa)? How does our body determine and affect our sense of self?</p><div><hr></div><div class="callout-block" data-callout="true"><p style="text-align: center;"><em>&#8220;I&#8217;ve been thinking a lot about relationships between contraries: the inner and outer, love and hate, restraint and surrender.&#8221;</em></p></div><div><hr></div><p><strong>You have increasingly introduced materials such as tights, underwear, bedsheets, and hair into your work. What changed when you began bringing these very personal objects into your painting?</strong></p><p><strong>RF:</strong> I think the shift was on a spiritual level. Because all of these materials are mine and have been worn and eroded by their use. In the case of the hair it feels even more intimate, as my body literally produced it. When I started including them, I had to be a lot more thoughtful than I usually am about the ways I could introduce them into the works. I had to really consider the reasons behind the inclusion of a certain material in a specific work, and if this inclusion was worth it, as there&#8217;s the scarcity factor to take into account. </p><p>There&#8217;s only a limited amount of these materials (I can only own and wear a certain amount of underwear, I&#8217;m afraid). So, this cautiousness, more like tentativeness, granted them with even more metaphoric meaning, they felt as if they physically carried stories with them now. At times, I felt like I was putting a spell on the works (or myself).</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!NhUa!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fe208875f-a23a-4f6d-9420-a4f0ddb32740_4000x2667.jpeg" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!NhUa!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fe208875f-a23a-4f6d-9420-a4f0ddb32740_4000x2667.jpeg 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!NhUa!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fe208875f-a23a-4f6d-9420-a4f0ddb32740_4000x2667.jpeg 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!NhUa!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fe208875f-a23a-4f6d-9420-a4f0ddb32740_4000x2667.jpeg 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!NhUa!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fe208875f-a23a-4f6d-9420-a4f0ddb32740_4000x2667.jpeg 1456w" sizes="auto, 100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!NhUa!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fe208875f-a23a-4f6d-9420-a4f0ddb32740_4000x2667.jpeg" width="1456" height="971" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/e208875f-a23a-4f6d-9420-a4f0ddb32740_4000x2667.jpeg&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:971,&quot;width&quot;:1456,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:null,&quot;bytes&quot;:1244657,&quot;alt&quot;:null,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;href&quot;:null,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:true,&quot;topImage&quot;:false,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:&quot;https://www.artinlatam.com/i/215029322?img=https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fe208875f-a23a-4f6d-9420-a4f0ddb32740_4000x2667.jpeg&quot;,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!NhUa!,w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fe208875f-a23a-4f6d-9420-a4f0ddb32740_4000x2667.jpeg 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!NhUa!,w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fe208875f-a23a-4f6d-9420-a4f0ddb32740_4000x2667.jpeg 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!NhUa!,w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fe208875f-a23a-4f6d-9420-a4f0ddb32740_4000x2667.jpeg 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!NhUa!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fe208875f-a23a-4f6d-9420-a4f0ddb32740_4000x2667.jpeg 1456w" sizes="auto, 100vw" loading="lazy"></picture><div class="image-link-expand"><div class="pencraft pc-display-flex pc-gap-8 pc-reset"><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container restack-image buttonBase-GK1x3M"><svg aria-hidden="true" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 20 20" fill="none" stroke-width="1.5" stroke="var(--color-fg-primary)" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" class="icon-noB79L"><g><path d="M2.53001 7.81595C3.49179 4.73911 6.43281 2.5 9.91173 2.5C13.1684 2.5 15.9537 4.46214 17.0852 7.23684L17.6179 8.67647M17.6179 8.67647L18.5002 4.26471M17.6179 8.67647L13.6473 6.91176M17.4995 12.1841C16.5378 15.2609 13.5967 17.5 10.1178 17.5C6.86118 17.5 4.07589 15.5379 2.94432 12.7632L2.41165 11.3235M2.41165 11.3235L1.5293 15.7353M2.41165 11.3235L6.38224 13.0882"></path></g></svg></button><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container view-image buttonBase-GK1x3M"><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="2" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" class="lucide lucide-maximize2 lucide-maximize-2 icon-noB79L"><polyline points="15 3 21 3 21 9"></polyline><polyline points="9 21 3 21 3 15"></polyline><line x1="21" x2="14" y1="3" y2="10"></line><line x1="3" x2="10" y1="21" y2="14"></line></svg></button></div></div></div></a><figcaption class="image-caption">Rita Fern&#225;ndez, <em>Chichel picado</em>, 2024.

What happens to intimacy when it becomes visible to other people?</strong></p><p><strong>RF:</strong> The contradiction is what interests me. Again, I&#8217;m increasingly fascinated by the relationship between concealment and revelation. When using underwear in an artwork, what is supposed to be hidden, for the person&#8217;s eye only, is left to the public eye, wide open. What this contradiction allows is to reflect on what intimacy can mean: is it about nudity? Or perhaps it&#8217;s about the actions around it? Is it about the relationship we have with our body and how we treat it?</p><p>By using these materials, my initial thought was to make the viewer think of the body through its absence. Ideas change as we put them into practice, and when we observe the reactions from an audience. I&#8217;ve gotten very diverse reactions with some of the pieces that include underwear, I think they can be particularly charged, as many people immediately relate it to something sexual, even as some sort of insinuation or invitation. I&#8217;m not offended by any of this at all, I enjoy to be reminded that my thoughts and my world view aren&#8217;t shared with the rest of the world.</p><div><hr></div><div class="callout-block" data-callout="true"><p style="text-align: center;"><em>&#8220;I&#8217;m increasingly fascinated by the relationship between concealment and revelation.

Where does that interest come from, and how has your relationship to those ideas developed over time?</strong></p><p><strong>RF:</strong> I think being a feminist became a necessity when growing up, particularly in Mexico where gendered violence can be terrible. So, feminism came from a different place, rather than pure interest, and it definitely came from an angry place. Upon reflection, I think that feminism became my main tool to deal with my changing body - during puberty - I wouldn&#8217;t go as far to say that it was traumatic, but it definitely impacted me very deeply, which I think is evident, as one of the recurring themes in my work is the body as a permutable entity.</p><p>Contrary to Agn&#232;s Varda, I think I&#8217;ve moved away (just a little) from the anger and tried to become a more joyful feminist. I&#8217;m definitely still very angry but - I think - that I&#8217;ve allowed other more joyful feelings to enter how I view my own body, the world around it, and therefore, the work I can make out of the relationship between the two of them.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"

Her show, currently at Tate Modern, moved me enormously, especially the freshness and honesty in her approach to making. I admire the courage and candidness in which she spoke about her work too. I&#8217;m a huge admirer of Alina Szapocznikow&#8217;s work and her material sensibility, Eva Hesse has been a huge source of inspiration for me too from a young age, I also admire Hannah Wilke&#8217;s practice and the sense of performativity in her work, and what she does with it. Sophie Calle&#8217;s wit is incomparable, I adore her work.</p><p>I also find a lot of inspiration in literature and cinema. Clarice Lispector and the emotional depth of her novels deeply impacted me too. Chris Kraus&#8217; novel <em>I Love Dick</em> really shocked me at the time, and made me reflect on my sense of self, as she does very well. Chantal Akerman&#8217;s <em>News From Home</em> also really touched me, to the point of me wanting to make my own version of it. I desisted on the idea, as we already have hers!</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!QL2s!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Ff2224fc3-6291-4b93-802f-9a1024692bd2_5472x3648.heic" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!QL2s!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Ff2224fc3-6291-4b93-802f-9a1024692bd2_5472x3648.heic 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!QL2s!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Ff2224fc3-6291-4b93-802f-9a1024692bd2_5472x3648.heic 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!QL2s!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Ff2224fc3-6291-4b93-802f-9a1024692bd2_5472x3648.heic 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!QL2s!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Ff2224fc3-6291-4b93-802f-9a1024692bd2_5472x3648.heic 1456w" sizes="auto, 100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!QL2s!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Ff2224fc3-6291-4b93-802f-9a1024692bd2_5472x3648.heic" width="1456" height="971" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/f2224fc3-6291-4b93-802f-9a1024692bd2_5472x3648.heic&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:971,&quot;width&quot;:1456,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:null,&quot;bytes&quot;:3047809,&quot;alt&quot;:null,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/heic&quot;,&quot;href&quot;:null,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:true,&quot;topImage&quot;:false,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:&quot;https://www.artinlatam.com/i/215029322?img=https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Ff2224fc3-6291-4b93-802f-9a1024692bd2_5472x3648.heic&quot;,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!QL2s!,w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Ff2224fc3-6291-4b93-802f-9a1024692bd2_5472x3648.heic 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!QL2s!,w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Ff2224fc3-6291-4b93-802f-9a1024692bd2_5472x3648.heic 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!QL2s!,w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Ff2224fc3-6291-4b93-802f-9a1024692bd2_5472x3648.heic 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!QL2s!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Ff2224fc3-6291-4b93-802f-9a1024692bd2_5472x3648.heic 1456w" sizes="auto, 100vw" loading="lazy"></picture><div class="image-link-expand"><div class="pencraft pc-display-flex pc-gap-8 pc-reset"><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container restack-image buttonBase-GK1x3M"><svg aria-hidden="true" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 20 20" fill="none" stroke-width="1.5" stroke="var(--color-fg-primary)" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" class="icon-noB79L"><g><path d="M2.53001 7.81595C3.49179 4.73911 6.43281 2.5 9.91173 2.5C13.1684 2.5 15.9537 4.46214 17.0852 7.23684L17.6179 8.67647M17.6179 8.67647L18.5002 4.26471M17.6179 8.67647L13.6473 6.91176M17.4995 12.1841C16.5378 15.2609 13.5967 17.5 10.1178 17.5C6.86118 17.5 4.07589 15.5379 2.94432 12.7632L2.41165 11.3235M2.41165 11.3235L1.5293 15.7353M2.41165 11.3235L6.38224 13.0882"></path></g></svg></button><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container view-image buttonBase-GK1x3M"><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="2" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" class="lucide lucide-maximize2 lucide-maximize-2 icon-noB79L"><polyline points="15 3 21 3 21 9"></polyline><polyline points="9 21 3 21 3 15"></polyline><line x1="21" x2="14" y1="3" y2="10"></line><line x1="3" x2="10" y1="21" y2="14"></line></svg></button></div></div></div></a><figcaption class="image-caption"><span>Studio snapshot of works in progress and bedsheet.

Has living outside Mexico changed the way you understand your own background or the way it enters your practice?</strong></p><p><strong>RF:</strong> Yeah, I&#8217;m like a sponge, I absorb indiscriminately what is in my surroundings and then I let time - and trials and errors - help me discern what would be actually productive to incorporate - or not - into the work. My friend Carolina Orlando, curator and co-founder of LATAMesa, came over to the studio for a visit back in June and pointed out that the works I made during my time living in Berlin last year were very German. She is right, some of the compositions and materials I started using while living there were informed from being exposed to a different art ecosystem than the one I&#8217;ve found in London.</p><p>More importantly, knowing that I&#8217;d only stay in Berlin for three months gave me great freedom, which allowed me to make work that I probably wouldn&#8217;t have made in London. Living outside of Mexico has definitely altered and transformed my practice, and also how I think of myself whenever I go back there. It&#8217;s a different feeling every time, the sense of estrangement getting more acute each time. In the past, these feelings presented themselves to me in the form of displacement and homesickness, which are themes I&#8217;ve dealt with in the past - the <em>Azulejos</em> series, for instance - Now, as time goes by, I&#8217;ve grown more fond of the idea of impermanence as a remedy for estrangement. I find lots of comfort in Heraclitus&#8217; river allegory, it reminds me that not only have I changed, but also the place as I last encountered it. I guess, to properly answer your question, my background and how I understand it shifts constantly, and what I find that I can always hold on to (in work and life) are my feelings around it at that moment.</p><div><hr></div><div class="callout-block" data-callout="true"><p style="text-align: center;"><em>&#8220;Now, as time goes by, I&#8217;ve grown more fond of the idea of impermanence as a remedy for estrangement.&#8221;</em></p></div><div><hr></div><p><strong>When you look back at your earlier work, what do you think has changed most in the way you approach painting?</strong></p><p><strong>RF:</strong> I&#8217;m still learning what I enjoy about painting, hopefully I learn more and more every time. I think that&#8217;s been the most significant change: I&#8217;m increasingly making the work that I want to make. This sounds very simple and silly, but it&#8217;s taken me some time to actually do this when I&#8217;m in the studio, and not try and make &#8220;good work&#8221;, but the work that I feel like doing, even if it&#8217;s bad. It doesn&#8217;t make sense to paint if I&#8217;m not painting what I want or something that brings me joy, a sense of enjoyment or some sort of cathartic feeling.</p><p>In material terms, I&#8217;ve become more patient. I allow a lot more time to finish a painting, which is something I would have never done before. I&#8217;m able to put work away for an indefinite amount of time now, whereas before I&#8217;d try to finish the piece that I was currently working on until I did, or overworked it. This new patience of mine might be visible in some of my last works, as they&#8217;re heavily layered with different compositions, which are old (failed) paintings that I&#8217;ve put away for a while until I feel ready to work on them again and they finally become complete at some point.</p><div><hr></div><div class="callout-block" data-callout="true"><p style="text-align: center;"><em>&#8220;I&#8217;m increasingly making the work that I want to make... It doesn&#8217;t make sense to paint if I&#8217;m not painting what I want or something that brings me joy, a sense of enjoyment or some sort of cathartic feeling.&#8221;</em></p></div><div><hr></div><p><strong>Are there materials, formats, or ideas you would like to explore further? What are you looking forward to doing next?</strong></p><p><strong>RF:</strong> Larger-scale paintings, I believe. I&#8217;ve been working at smaller scales for a while now, and I&#8217;ve grown increasingly interested in painting that engages my whole body. I want to capture the enactment of painting within the painting itself (it&#8217;s almost redundant, I&#8217;m aware). I want to encapsulate the performative aspect of painting, not as an act, but through the actions required for it.</p><p>I&#8217;m interested in making my mark evident in the work, so that the viewer is reminded that a body made it. Some people tell me that, if these are my interests, I should move into performance art, but I disagree. First, I&#8217;m incredibly shy in front of a live audience. Second, what interests me is not the act itself, but the traces it leaves behind. I think this is why I keep coming back to look at Ana Mendieta&#8217;s work, and at the way her body became her medium. I&#8217;m looking forward to explore how these body traces can manifest and look like within a painterly practice.</p><p><span data-color="#c266ff" style="color: rgb(194, 102, 255);">Written

Pienso si deber&#237;a imprimarlos, cu&#225;ntas capas de imprimaci&#243;n utilizar, c&#243;mo tensarlos, etc. Me gusta especular sobre lo que una pintura puede ser &#8212;o no puede ser&#8212; y sobre las razones formales detr&#225;s de ello. Esa es, en realidad, la parte divertida: doblar y jugar con ideas preconcebidas.</p><div><hr></div><div class="callout-block" data-callout="true"><p style="text-align: center;"><em>&#8220;Me gusta especular sobre lo que una pintura puede ser &#8212;o no puede ser&#8212; y sobre las razones formales detr&#225;s de ello.&#8221;</em></p></div><div><hr></div><p><strong>Estudiaste filosof&#237;a antes de dedicarte a la pintura. &#191;De qu&#233; manera la filosof&#237;a ampli&#243; tu forma de pensar sobre el arte? &#191;Hubo algo en el estudio de la filosof&#237;a que con el tiempo te pareciera limitante y que la pr&#225;ctica art&#237;stica te permitiera abordar de otra manera?</strong></p><p><strong>RF:</strong> Hacer arte puede ser incre&#237;blemente filos&#243;fico, pero la filosof&#237;a no necesariamente est&#225; relacionada con el proceso creativo detr&#225;s de una pr&#225;ctica art&#237;stica. Esto no significa que la investigaci&#243;n filos&#243;fica no sea creativa ni que no requiera cierto grado de sensibilidad art&#237;stica &#8212;se aprecia mucho cuando los fil&#243;sofos son buenos escritores, dir&#237;a yo&#8212;; lo que quiero decir es que ambas cosas activan procesos muy distintos en el cerebro. Al menos en el m&#237;o.</p><p>Estudiar filosof&#237;a molde&#243; mi forma de pensar sobre cualquier cosa. Durante la licenciatura tuve una profesora incre&#237;ble que sol&#237;a decir que estudiar filosof&#237;a pod&#237;a ser &#250;til para cualquiera, independientemente de lo que terminara haciendo en la vida, porque te permite sistematizar &#8212;o categorizar&#8212; cualquier nueva habilidad o conocimiento que necesites adquirir y, por tanto, hace que aprender algo nuevo sea m&#225;s f&#225;cil. Entiendo a qu&#233; se refer&#237;a; inevitablemente categorizo mis pensamientos, especialmente los relacionados con mi pr&#225;ctica. Pero, parad&#243;jicamente, creo que mis obras m&#225;s logradas han surgido de una sensibilidad material m&#225;s cruda, de la intuici&#243;n y de una exploraci&#243;n libre, en lugar de una categorizaci&#243;n conceptual, aunque siempre termino regresando a ella.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"

Tambi&#233;n admiro el valor y la franqueza con los que hablaba sobre su obra. Soy una gran admiradora del trabajo de Alina Szapocznikow y de su sensibilidad material. Eva Hesse tambi&#233;n ha sido una enorme fuente de inspiraci&#243;n para m&#237; desde muy joven.

El ingenio de Sophie Calle es incomparable; adoro su trabajo.</p><p>Tambi&#233;n encuentro mucha inspiraci&#243;n en la literatura y el cine. Clarice Lispector y la profundidad emocional de sus novelas tambi&#233;n tuvieron un gran impacto en m&#237;. La novela <em>I Love Dick</em>, de Chris Kraus, realmente me impact&#243; en su momento y me hizo reflexionar sobre mi sentido del yo, algo que ella hace muy bien. <em>News From Home</em>, de Chantal Akerman, tambi&#233;n me conmovi&#243; much&#237;simo, hasta el punto de querer hacer mi propia versi&#243;n.

Mi amiga Carolina Orlando, curadora y cofundadora de LATAMesa, vino al estudio en junio y se&#241;al&#243; que las obras que hice durante el tiempo que viv&#237; en Berl&#237;n el a&#241;o pasado eran muy alemanas. Tiene raz&#243;n; algunas de las composiciones y materiales que empec&#233; a utilizar mientras viv&#237;a all&#237; estuvieron influenciados por haber estado expuesta a un ecosistema art&#237;stico diferente al que he encontrado en Londres.</p><p>M&#225;s importante a&#250;n, saber que solo estar&#237;a en Berl&#237;n durante tres meses me dio una gran libertad, lo que me permiti&#243; hacer un tipo de trabajo que probablemente no habr&#237;a hecho en Londres.</p><p>Vivir fuera de M&#233;xico definitivamente ha alterado y transformado mi pr&#225;ctica, y tambi&#233;n la forma en que pienso sobre m&#237; misma cada vez que regreso. Es una sensaci&#243;n diferente cada vez; el sentimiento de extra&#241;amiento se vuelve m&#225;s agudo en cada ocasi&#243;n. En el pasado, estas sensaciones se manifestaban como desplazamiento y nostalgia, temas que ya he tratado antes &#8212;la serie <em>Azulejos</em>, por ejemplo&#8212;. Ahora, con el paso del tiempo, me he encari&#241;ado m&#225;s con la idea de la impermanencia como remedio para el extra&#241;amiento. Encuentro mucho consuelo en la alegor&#237;a del r&#237;o de Her&#225;clito; me recuerda que no solo he cambiado yo, sino tambi&#233;n el lugar desde la &#250;ltima vez que lo encontr&#233;. Supongo que, para responder correctamente a tu pregunta, mi origen y la forma en que lo entiendo cambian constantemente, y lo que siempre encuentro como algo a lo que puedo aferrarme &#8212;tanto en el trabajo como en la vida&#8212; son mis sentimientos respecto a ello en ese momento.</p><div><hr></div><div class="callout-block" data-callout="true"><p style="text-align: center;"><em>&#8220;Ahora, con el paso del tiempo, me he encari&#241;ado m&#225;s con la idea de la impermanencia como remedio para el extra&#241;amiento.&#8221;</em></p></div><div><hr></div><p><strong>Cuando miras hacia tus primeras obras, &#191;qu&#233; crees que ha cambiado m&#225;s en tu manera de abordar la pintura?</strong></p><p><strong>RF:</strong> Sigo aprendiendo qu&#233; es lo que disfruto de la pintura; espero aprender cada vez m&#225;s. Creo que ese ha sido el cambio m&#225;s significativo: cada vez hago m&#225;s el trabajo que realmente quiero hacer. Suena muy simple y un poco tonto, pero me ha llevado tiempo lograr hacerlo realmente cuando estoy en el estudio, y dejar de intentar hacer &#171;buen trabajo&#187; para hacer el trabajo que me apetece hacer, incluso si es malo.

Ahora soy capaz de guardar una obra durante un per&#237;odo indefinido, mientras que antes intentaba terminar la pieza en la que estaba trabajando hasta conseguirlo o hasta sobrecargarla. Esta nueva paciencia quiz&#225; sea visible en algunas de mis obras m&#225;s recientes, ya que est&#225;n muy estratificadas con distintas composiciones, que son antiguas pinturas &#8212;fallidas&#8212; que he guardado durante un tiempo hasta sentirme preparada para volver a trabajar sobre ellas y que, finalmente, en alg&#250;n momento llegan a completarse.</p><div><hr></div><div class="callout-block" data-callout="true"><p style="text-align: center;"><em>&#8220;Cada vez hago m&#225;s el trabajo que realmente quiero hacer&#8230;No tiene sentido pintar si no estoy pintando lo que quiero o algo que me produzca alegr&#237;a, disfrute o alg&#250;n tipo de sensaci&#243;n cat&#225;rtica.&#8221;</em></p></div><div><hr></div><p><strong>&#191;Hay materiales, formatos o ideas que te gustar&#237;a seguir explorando? &#191;Qu&#233; te ilusiona hacer a continuaci&#243;n?</strong></p><p><strong>RF:</strong> Pinturas de mayor escala, creo.

Quiero capturar la acci&#243;n de pintar dentro de la propia pintura &#8212;s&#233; que suena casi redundante&#8212;. Quiero encapsular el aspecto performativo de la pintura, no como un acto en s&#237; mismo, sino a trav&#233;s de las acciones necesarias para realizarla.</p><p>Me interesa hacer evidente mi huella en la obra, de modo que al espectador se le recuerde que fue un cuerpo quien la hizo. Algunas personas me dicen que, si estos son mis intereses, deber&#237;a pasarme al arte de performance, pero no estoy de acuerdo. Primero, soy incre&#237;blemente t&#237;mida frente a un p&#250;blico en vivo. Segundo, lo que me interesa no es el acto en s&#237;, sino las huellas que deja. Creo que por eso sigo volviendo a mirar la obra de Ana Mendieta y la manera en que su cuerpo se convirti&#243; en su medio.</p><p>Me interesa seguir explorando c&#243;mo estas huellas corporales pueden manifestarse y verse dentro de una pr&#225;ctica pict&#243;rica.</p><p><span data-color="#c266ff" style="color: rgb(194, 102, 255);">Escrito por:</span> Kiara Salazar.</p><div><hr></div><p><strong>Para saber m&#225;s sobre Rita Fern&#225;ndez, visita:</strong></p><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/sr.rita.fernandez/">@sr.rita.fernandez</a></p><p><a href="https://www.ritafernandez.org">https://www.ritafernandez.org</a></p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[Inside El Museo del Barrio with Susanna V.

What has remained fundamental to the museum&#8217;s history and mission?</span></strong></p><p><strong><span>ST:</span></strong><span> When El Museo was founded by artist Raphael Monta&#241;ez Ortiz, it was also the moment of the Civil Rights movement. Puerto Rico was very much at the heart of the museum, but even very early on, El Museo was inclusive of artists from different backgrounds, so there was always this broader interest in visibility of those who had been underrepresented.</span></p><p><span>What has remained fundamental are the two pillars the museum grew out of: artists and education. We&#8217;re an artist-founded institution, and education has been central from the beginning. Our mission also speaks explicitly about developing the next generation of museumgoers. El Museo is a place where you can see yourself reflected in the art on the walls, but it is also a place where the next generation of scholars, artists, and museum professionals can develop.</span></p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"

How do you approach those distinctions in your curatorial practice?</span></strong></p><p><strong><span>ST:</span></strong><span> I never want to impose an identity on someone; I&#8217;ll always follow however they want to self-describe. At the same time, I believe in the diaspora. There&#8217;s a tendency, as humans, to want to categorize and want easy answers, but that&#8217;s not how we work as individuals or societies, who mix and interact with one another.</span></p><p><span>When it comes to El Museo, many people think we have a geographic focus, but we really don&#8217;t. I think it&#8217;s interesting to work transnationally and cross-culturally, but also intergenerationally. It&#8217;s when different generations meet that some of those conversations around identity can emerge very strongly. Nuyoricans who were on the front lines of the Nuyorican moment in the 1970s may still very much want to be called Nuyoricans, whereas younger generations may want to call themselves Diasporican. That allows us to talk about the particularities not only of culture, but also of perspective and generation.</span></p><div><hr></div><div class="callout-block" data-callout="true"><p style="text-align: center;"><em>&#8220;El Museo is a place where you can see yourself reflected in the art on the walls, but it is also a place where the next generation of scholars, artists, and museum professionals can develop.&#8221;</em></p></div><div><hr></div><p><strong><span>How does El Museo maintain its relationship with East Harlem while also speaking to national and international audiences?</span></strong></p><p><strong><span>ST: </span></strong><span>We&#8217;ve been in this building [The Heckscher Building at 1230 Fifth Avenue] since 1977. It&#8217;s an interesting junction: we&#8217;re on Fifth Avenue, which is the glamorous Museum Mile, and we&#8217;re also still here in East Harlem/El Barrio/Spanish Harlem. We have a cross section of people who visit and a lot of international audiences, but in a recent audience survey our biggest zip code demographic was still our immediate neighborhood.</span></p><p><span>That relationship with the community also extends beyond the museum itself. We organize festivals that take place literally in the streets, including our D&#237;a de los Reyes parade, where we bring actual camels into the streets of New York City in the middle of January. East Harlem is such a special neighborhood because people engage in many different ways. Sometimes they hear something happening, come outside, bring their chairs and drinks, and join in. Dancing is very central to our block party, Uptown Bounce, or Museum Mile. So maintaining that relationship is not always about people entering the museum; sometimes it&#8217;s about the museum becoming part of the life of the neighborhood.</span></p><div

That speaks not only to the artists who have always been active, but also to the fact that there are more Latine museum professionals. The pipeline is changing.</span></p><p><span>We can often be an artist&#8217;s first institutional platform and be there at an important early moment in their career. Sometimes we present an artist and later learn that a work from the exhibition has been acquired by another museum. </span></p><p><span>Because we are a smaller institution, we can also take risks and respond more quickly. I think that allows us to remain at the forefront of introducing artists and histories that may take longer to enter larger institutions. I&#8217;m very proud that El Museo can be such an important first step in an artist&#8217;s career.</span></p><div><hr></div><div class="callout-block" data-callout="true"><p style="text-align: center;"><em>&#8220;We can often be an artist&#8217;s first institutional platform and be there at an important early moment in their career.&#8221;</em></p></div><div><hr></div><p><strong><span>Do you see El Museo&#8217;s permanent collection as a form of canon-building? What gaps is the museum trying to address?</span></strong></p><p><strong><span>ST:</span></strong><span> The collection really reflects the communities that have shaped El Museo. So many works have come as donations from artists or local collectors, and that has shaped our holdings. We have strong Nuyorican holdings, and over the years we&#8217;ve refined how we want to collect: what strengths we want to continue, such as Puerto Rican art and printmaking, and where we need to pay more attention, including Indigenous artists, Afro-diasporic artists, graffiti and urban culture, and queer artists.</span></p><p><span>We want the artists and art forms we represent, including craft traditions, to be recognized within the so-called canon. But we also realize what a Eurocentric concept a canon is. We&#8217;re interested in acknowledging that there are multiple histories or narratives and no singular definition of what a canon can be. So while the collection allows us to assert the importance of these artists and traditions, we try to think about how it also gives us a way to push against the idea of one fixed or singular art-historical narrative.</span></p><div><hr></div><div class="callout-block" data-callout="true"><p style="text-align: center;"><em>&#8220;We&#8217;re interested in acknowledging that there are multiple histories or narratives and no singular definition of what a canon can be.

We love our exhibitions, but ultimately they&#8217;re ephemeral, and the books are what last. El Museo has been publishing since the 1970s. More recently, our </span><em><span>Sophie Rivera: Double Exposures</span></em><span> book, for example, was that photographer&#8217;s first monograph ever published. I think that&#8217;s a really important contribution.</span></p><p><span>Exhibitions also become places for dialogue with audiences, critics, future scholars, and professors working in the field. They can become a place for collections-building too. We showed Juan Francisco Elso&#8217;s </span><em><span>Por Am&#233;rica</span></em><span>, and shortly thereafter that work was acquired by the MoMA. I think that is a testament to what an exhibition can do in terms of visualizing different artists and histories.</span></p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2

At a particular moment, many people were asking, &#8216;Are you going to adapt the show to be safer politically?&#8217; For us, the answer was a resounding no. At El Museo, we realized that if we changed what we did, who or what we show, we wouldn&#8217;t be able to be true to ourselves or to our mission. El Museo fundamentally has to be a place that takes a stand against some of what we&#8217;re witnessing.</span></p><p><span>I also believe in the power of art to create a safe haven, a place where you can have a break from everything taking place around you, even when the art is discussing very challenging issues. A museum as a sanctuary. Standing strong in presenting these works is a statement in itself.</span></p><div><hr></div><div class="callout-block" data-callout="true"><p style="text-align: center;"><em>&#8220;At a particular moment, many people were asking, &#8216;Are you going to adapt the show to be safer politically?&#8217; For us, the answer was a resounding no.

One of them, </span></strong><em><strong><span>Octopus &amp; Others: Acts of Collaboration &amp; Poetics,</span></strong></em><strong><span> returns to Papo Colo&#8217;s 1982 project </span></strong><em><strong><span>Octopus</span></strong></em><strong><span>. Why is it important to revisit that history now?</span></strong></p><p><strong><span>ST:</span></strong><span> The starting point for this exhibition was a donation from artist Papo Colo. </span><em><span>Octopus</span></em><span> was a collaborative project from 1982 that brought together artists, poets, and other cultural figures working across New York. It is a project that has been discussed often, and the images in our archives are incredibly compelling, but much of its history had remained relatively unknown. Papo very generously donated some of the surviving panels from the project, which gave us an opportunity to return to it in a much more concrete way, and really learn more about some of the mythology around this work.</span></p><p><span>What makes </span><em><span>Octopus</span></em><span> especially interesting is the network it created, bringing figures from East Harlem&#8217;s Latino community, such as Pedro Pietri and Juan S&#225;nchez, into dialogue with artists working across New York like David Hammons, Vito Acconci, Tehching Hsieh. Revisiting the project today allows us to make those connections visible again and to reactivate the collaborative spirit that placed El Museo within a broader avant-garde history. The curator of the show, Zuna Maza, has also connected this history to younger generations working today, including Mev Luna and Joey de Jesus.</span></p><div

What does bringing it to El Museo add to the conversation?</span></strong></p><p><strong><span>ST:</span></strong><span> We really wanted to bring this exhibition [which is traveling through Independent Curators International, and curated by C. Ondine Chavoya and David Evans Frantz] to El Museo because we&#8217;re interested in expanding our commitment to queer artists, which is an area where we feel we can still do more. And New York doesn&#8217;t very often get to see West Coast artists, so this felt like a really exciting opportunity to bring some of those histories here.</span></p><p><span>When we brought the show to El Museo, organizing curator Lee Sessions was also able to make some interventions by adding works from our permanent collection and bringing in a few local loans. That allowed us to expand the conversation beyond the original exhibition. Like Octopus, it&#8217;s also very much an intergenerational show, and I think that makes it possible to talk about different affinities and parallel histories taking place on the West Coast, the East Coast, and in other regions in between.</span></p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"

That remains at the heart of what we do. We want to keep opening up broader conversations around artists and the histories they bring with them, while also thinking about how to bring more people into those conversations. We&#8217;re El Museo del Barrio, but all audiences are welcome, you don&#8217;t have to be Latine or Latin American to come in and enjoy and learn from the exhibitions.</span></p><p><span>We also want to make space for artists and histories that still haven&#8217;t received the recognition they deserve, especially across generations. Personally, I&#8217;m very committed to showing women artists and to thinking intergenerationally. Amalia Mesa-Bains is a perfect example. She has been working for decades and only received her retrospective now that she is in her 80s. The same can be said for our recent Candida Alvarez show, and even Coco Fusco. I think it&#8217;s really important to recognize artists while they&#8217;re still here to be part of that conversation.</span></p><div><hr></div><div class="callout-block" data-callout="true"><p style="text-align: center;"><em>&#8220;We want to keep opening up broader conversations around artists and the histories they bring with them, while also thinking about how to bring more people into those conversations.

Al mismo tiempo, creo en la di&#225;spora. Existe una tendencia, como seres humanos, a querer categorizar y querer respuestas f&#225;ciles, pero as&#237; no es como funcionamos como individuos ni como sociedades, que se mezclan e interact&#250;an entre s&#237;.</p><p>Cuando se trata de El Museo, muchas personas piensan que tenemos un enfoque geogr&#225;fico, pero en realidad no es as&#237;. Creo que es interesante trabajar de manera transnacional y transcultural, pero tambi&#233;n intergeneracional. Es cuando distintas generaciones se encuentran que algunas de esas conversaciones en torno a la identidad pueden surgir con mucha fuerza. Los nuyoricans que estuvieron en primera l&#237;nea del momento nuyorican en la d&#233;cada de 1970 quiz&#225; todav&#237;a quieran ser llamados nuyoricans, mientras que las generaciones m&#225;s j&#243;venes quiz&#225; quieran llamarse Diasporican. Eso nos permite hablar de las particularidades no solo de la cultura, sino tambi&#233;n de la perspectiva y de la generaci&#243;n.</p><div><hr></div><div class="callout-block" data-callout="true"><p style="text-align: center;"><em>&#8220;El Museo es un lugar donde puedes verte reflejado en el arte que est&#225; en las paredes, pero tambi&#233;n es un lugar donde la pr&#243;xima generaci&#243;n de acad&#233;micos, artistas y profesionales de museos puede desarrollarse.&#8221;</em></p></div><div><hr></div><p><strong>&#191;C&#243;mo mantiene El Museo su relaci&#243;n con East Harlem y, al mismo tiempo, se dirige a p&#250;blicos nacionales e internacionales?</strong></p><p><strong>ST:</strong> Hemos estado en este edificio [The Heckscher Building en 1230 Fifth Avenue] desde 1977. Es una intersecci&#243;n interesante: estamos en Fifth Avenue, que es el glamuroso Museum Mile, y tambi&#233;n seguimos aqu&#237;, en East Harlem/El Barrio/Spanish Harlem. Tenemos una secci&#243;n transversal de personas que nos visitan y mucho p&#250;blico internacional, pero en una encuesta reciente a nuestros visitantes, el c&#243;digo postal con mayor representaci&#243;n segu&#237;a siendo el de nuestro vecindario inmediato.</p><p>Esa relaci&#243;n con la comunidad tambi&#233;n se extiende m&#225;s all&#225; del propio museo. Organizamos festivales que tienen lugar literalmente en las calles, incluido nuestro desfile del D&#237;a de los Reyes, en el que llevamos camellos de verdad a las calles de Nueva York a mediados de enero. East Harlem es un barrio muy especial porque la gente participa de muchas maneras distintas. A veces escuchan que algo est&#225; pasando, salen, traen sus sillas y sus bebidas, y se suman. El baile es muy central en nuestra fiesta de barrio, Uptown Bounce, o en Museum Mile. As&#237; que mantener esa relaci&#243;n no siempre tiene que ver con que la gente entre al museo; a veces se trata de que el museo pase a formar parte de la vida del barrio.</p><div

Muchas obras han llegado como donaciones de artistas o de coleccionistas locales, y eso ha dado forma a nuestros fondos. Tenemos una colecci&#243;n nuyorican muy s&#243;lida y, a lo largo de los a&#241;os, hemos afinado la manera en que queremos coleccionar: qu&#233; fortalezas queremos seguir desarrollando, como el arte puertorrique&#241;o y el grabado, y d&#243;nde necesitamos prestar m&#225;s atenci&#243;n, incluidos los artistas ind&#237;genas, los artistas afrodi&#225;sporicos, el grafiti y la cultura urbana, y los artistas queer.</p><p>Queremos que los artistas y las formas de arte que representamos, incluidas las tradiciones artesanales, sean reconocidos dentro del llamado canon.

Amamos nuestras exposiciones, pero al final son ef&#237;meras, y los libros son lo que permanece. El Museo publica desde la d&#233;cada de 1970. M&#225;s recientemente, nuestro libro <em>Sophie Rivera: Double Exposures</em>, por ejemplo, fue la primera monograf&#237;a que se public&#243; sobre esa fot&#243;grafa. Creo que esa es una contribuci&#243;n realmente importante.</p><p>Las exposiciones tambi&#233;n se convierten en espacios para el di&#225;logo con el p&#250;blico, los cr&#237;ticos, futuros investigadores y profesores que trabajan en el campo. Tambi&#233;n pueden convertirse en un espacio para la construcci&#243;n de colecciones. Mostramos <em>Por Am&#233;rica</em> de Juan Francisco Elso y, poco despu&#233;s, esa obra fue adquirida por el MoMA. Creo que eso demuestra lo que una exposici&#243;n puede hacer en t&#233;rminos de visibilizar a distintos artistas e historias.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link

Fundamentalmente, El Museo tiene que ser un lugar que adopte una postura frente a algunas de las cosas que estamos presenciando.</p><p>Tambi&#233;n creo en el poder del arte para crear un refugio seguro, un lugar donde puedas tomarte un respiro de todo lo que est&#225; ocurriendo a tu alrededor, incluso cuando el arte aborda temas muy dif&#237;ciles. Un museo como santuario. Mantenernos firmes en la presentaci&#243;n de estas obras es una declaraci&#243;n en s&#237; misma.</p><div><hr></div><div class="callout-block" data-callout="true"><p style="text-align: center;"><em>&#8220;En un momento determinado, muchas personas preguntaban: &#8216;&#191;Van a adaptar la exposici&#243;n para que sea pol&#237;ticamente m&#225;s segura?&#8217;.

Una de ellas, </strong><em><strong>Octopus &amp; Others: Acts of Collaboration &amp; Poetics</strong></em><strong>, vuelve al proyecto </strong><em><strong>Octopus</strong></em><strong> de Papo Colo, de 1982. &#191;Por qu&#233; es importante revisitar esa historia ahora?</strong></p><p><strong>ST:</strong> El punto de partida de esta exposici&#243;n fue una donaci&#243;n del artista Papo Colo. <em>Octopus</em> fue un proyecto colaborativo de 1982 que reuni&#243; a artistas, poetas y otras figuras culturales que trabajaban en distintos &#225;mbitos de Nueva York. Es un proyecto del que se ha hablado a menudo, y las im&#225;genes de nuestro archivo son incre&#237;blemente poderosas, pero gran parte de su historia segu&#237;a siendo relativamente desconocida. Papo don&#243; muy generosamente algunos de los paneles que sobrevivieron del proyecto, lo que nos dio la oportunidad de volver a &#233;l de una manera mucho m&#225;s concreta y de aprender realmente m&#225;s sobre parte de la mitolog&#237;a que rodea esta obra.</p><p>Lo que hace que <em>Octopus</em> sea especialmente interesante es la red que cre&#243;, al poner a figuras de la comunidad latina de East Harlem, como Pedro Pietri y Juan S&#225;nchez, en di&#225;logo con artistas que trabajaban en distintos lugares de Nueva York, como David Hammons, Vito Acconci y Tehching Hsieh. Revisitar el proyecto hoy nos permite volver a hacer visibles esas conexiones y reactivar el esp&#237;ritu colaborativo que situ&#243; a El Museo dentro de una historia de vanguardia m&#225;s amplia. La curadora de la exposici&#243;n, Zuna Maza, tambi&#233;n ha conectado esta historia con generaciones m&#225;s j&#243;venes que trabajan hoy, entre ellas Mev Luna y Joey de Jesus.</p><div

Ondine Chavoya y David Evans Frantz] a El Museo porque nos interesa ampliar nuestro compromiso con los artistas queer, que es un &#225;rea en la que sentimos que todav&#237;a podemos hacer m&#225;s. Y en Nueva York no se tiene muy a menudo la oportunidad de ver a artistas de la Costa Oeste, as&#237; que nos pareci&#243; una oportunidad realmente emocionante para traer algunas de esas historias hasta aqu&#237;.</p><p>Cuando trajimos la exposici&#243;n a El Museo, la curadora organizadora Lee Sessions tambi&#233;n pudo realizar algunas intervenciones, incorporando obras de nuestra colecci&#243;n permanente y algunos pr&#233;stamos locales. Eso nos permiti&#243; ampliar la conversaci&#243;n m&#225;s all&#225; de la exposici&#243;n original. Al igual que <em>Octopus</em>, tambi&#233;n es en gran medida una exposici&#243;n intergeneracional, y creo que eso hace posible hablar sobre distintas afinidades e historias paralelas que tienen lugar en la Costa Oeste, la Costa Este y en otras regiones entre ambas.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"

But I always found myself talking to close friends or anyone who would listen, about what I was discovering. I was excited by what I was learning, and I wanted other people to be part of that experience too.</span></p><p><span>A lot of my friends still assumed that you had to be a millionaire to collect art or support artists, and I wanted to challenge that perception. So the shift was really from keeping these discoveries within my own collection to thinking about how we could bring more people into the conversation, while also supporting artists we believed in and giving their work greater visibility.</span></p><p><span>That was really the starting point for 603 Arts. Our supporters are people who are curious about what is new and what is happening now, and hopefully they also develop an interest and personal connection to what has been underrepresented or overlooked in the art world.</span></p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"

Arts is about bridging cultures and bringing those perspectives into conversation with the broader art world, creating a more inclusive space.</span></p><p><span>There are a couple of pillars that help us get there. One is organizing our own exhibitions and creating opportunities for artists to show their work. Another is supporting institutional exhibitions that align with our mission. The first was MoMA PS1&#8217;s </span><em><span>Greater New York</span></em><span>, which brought together many Asian and Latin American artists living and working in the city, including artists with more experimental and emerging practices.</span></p><p><span>Looking ahead, we also want to partner with existing residency programs that already have the infrastructure in place. The idea would be to support an artist through a residency, then create an opportunity for that work to be exhibited through 603 Arts and documented in a catalogue.</span></p><div><hr></div><div class="callout-block" data-callout="true"><p style="text-align: center;"><em>&#8220;At its core, 603 Arts is about bridging cultures and bringing those perspectives into conversation with the broader art world, creating a more inclusive space.&#8221;</em></p></div><div><hr></div><p><strong><span>Starting a foundation also means taking on a different role within the art ecosystem. What does patronage mean to you in this context?</span></strong></p><p><strong><span>KL:</span></strong><span> I think anyone who is an art patron fills a necessary role in the ecosystem. You have people buying historically overlooked artworks, people supporting museums at a high level, galleries, foundations. All of these different actors have to work together to create a strong and supportive environment for artists.</span></p><p><span>I see 603 Arts as trying to address a particular gap within that network. There are artists across Latin America and Asia producing compelling and important work, but for a gallery, particularly emerging ones, taking on an artist based overseas can involve considerable risk. We understand firsthand how complex and expensive it can be to bring work internationally; there are significant logistical and financial considerations long before a sale is ever made.</span></p><p><span>In that sense, taking on some of that risk is part of what we do. We want to connect artists with the New York art world and give their work the opportunity to reach new audiences. Ideally, that visibility can open the door to further opportunities. A gallery, curator, or collector might encounter an artist through one of our exhibitions and decide to continue that relationship. If we can help create that next step in an artist&#8217;s career, then I think we are doing something meaningful.</span></p><div><hr></div><div class="callout-block" data-callout="true"><p style="text-align: center;"><em>&#8220;We want to connect artists with the New York art world and give their work the opportunity to reach new audiences... If we can help create that next step in an artist&#8217;s career, then I think we are doing something meaningful.&#8221;</em></p></div><div><hr></div><p><strong><span>The inaugural exhibition of the foundation, </span></strong><em><strong><span>The Cataclysm of Binary Star Systems</span></strong></em><strong><span>, begins with science fiction but also explores migration and the experience of leaving home. How did that framework develop?</span></strong></p><p><strong><span>KL:</span></strong><span> I&#8217;ve always had a huge interest in science fiction and the kinds of questions they open up around displacement and survival. That made me draw parallels with immigration and with what my parents went through when they left home and started somewhere new. My partner and his family also immigrated, so that idea of going into the unknown felt very personal to both of us.</span></p><p><span>The show started to come together through the artists. C&#233;sar L&#243;pez and Leah Ying Lin were really catalysts for the idea. C&#233;sar&#8217;s work looks at the Mayan calendar, recordkeeping, and the end of times, while Leah makes kinetic sculptures based on alien forms and environments, and alternate realities. I saw their work and immediately felt that they needed to be in a show together.</span></p><p><span>I didn&#8217;t want it to be only about technology or to have a very stereotypically futuristic aesthetic. I was more interested in asking what leaving home means and what we would take with us if we had to start over: which personal or collective memories, histories and visual languages would feel essential to who we are as humans.</span></p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"

esencia, 603 Arts trata de tender puentes entre culturas y poner esas perspectivas en di&#225;logo con el mundo del arte en general, creando un espacio m&#225;s inclusivo.</span></p><p><span>Hay un par de pilares que nos ayudan a llegar hasta ah&#237;. Uno es organizar nuestras propias exposiciones y crear oportunidades para que los artistas muestren su trabajo. Otro es apoyar exposiciones institucionales que est&#233;n alineadas con nuestra misi&#243;n. La primera fue </span><em><span>Greater New York</span></em><span>, de MoMA PS1, que reuni&#243; a muchos artistas asi&#225;ticos y latinoamericanos que viven y trabajan en la ciudad, incluidos artistas con pr&#225;cticas m&#225;s experimentales y emergentes.</span></p><p><span>De cara al futuro, tambi&#233;n queremos colaborar con programas de residencias ya existentes que cuenten con la infraestructura necesaria. La idea ser&#237;a apoyar a un artista a trav&#233;s de una residencia y, posteriormente, crear una oportunidad para que ese trabajo se exhiba a trav&#233;s de 603 Arts y quede documentado en un cat&#225;logo.</span></p><div><hr></div><div class="callout-block" data-callout="true"><p style="text-align: center;"><em>&#8220;En esencia, 603 Arts trata de tender puentes entre culturas y poner esas perspectivas en di&#225;logo con el mundo del arte en general, creando un espacio m&#225;s inclusivo.&#8221;</em></p></div><div><hr></div><p><strong><span>Crear una fundaci&#243;n tambi&#233;n implica asumir un papel diferente dentro del ecosistema art&#237;stico. &#191;Qu&#233; significa para ti el mecenazgo en este contexto?</span></strong></p><p><strong><span>KL:</span></strong><span> Creo que cualquiera que sea mecenas del arte cumple una funci&#243;n necesaria dentro del ecosistema. Hay personas que compran obras hist&#243;ricamente ignoradas, personas que apoyan a museos a gran escala, galer&#237;as, fundaciones. Todos estos distintos actores tienen que trabajar juntos para crear un entorno s&#243;lido y de apoyo para los artistas.</span></p><p><span>Veo a 603 Arts como un intento de abordar una brecha particular dentro de esa red. Hay artistas en toda Am&#233;rica Latina y Asia produciendo obras relevantes y convincentes, pero para una galer&#237;a, especialmente una emergente, representar a un artista radicado en el extranjero puede implicar un riesgo considerable. Sabemos de primera mano lo complejo y costoso que puede ser trasladar obras internacionalmente; existen importantes consideraciones log&#237;sticas y financieras mucho antes de que se produzca una venta.</span></p><p><span>En ese sentido, asumir parte de ese riesgo forma parte de lo que hacemos. Queremos conectar a los artistas con el mundo del arte de Nueva York y dar a su trabajo la oportunidad de llegar a nuevas audiencias. Idealmente, esa visibilidad puede abrir la puerta a nuevas oportunidades. Una galer&#237;a, un curador o un coleccionista puede descubrir a un artista a trav&#233;s de una de nuestras exposiciones y decidir continuar esa relaci&#243;n. Si podemos ayudar a generar ese siguiente paso en la carrera de un artista, entonces creo que estamos haciendo algo significativo.</span></p><div><hr></div><div class="callout-block" data-callout="true"><p style="text-align: center;"><em>&#8220;Queremos conectar a los artistas con el mundo del arte de Nueva York y dar a su trabajo la oportunidad de llegar a nuevas audiencias&#8230;Si podemos ayudar a generar ese siguiente paso en la carrera de un artista, entonces creo que estamos haciendo algo significativo.&#8221;</em></p></div><div><hr></div><p><strong><span>La exposici&#243;n inaugural de la fundaci&#243;n, </span></strong><em><strong><span>The Cataclysm of Binary Star Systems</span></strong></em><strong><span>, parte de la ciencia ficci&#243;n, pero tambi&#233;n explora la migraci&#243;n y la experiencia de dejar el hogar. &#191;C&#243;mo se desarroll&#243; ese marco conceptual?</span></strong></p><p><strong><span>KL:</span></strong><span> Siempre he tenido un enorme inter&#233;s por la ciencia ficci&#243;n y por el tipo de preguntas que plantea en torno al desplazamiento y la supervivencia.

Me interesaba m&#225;s preguntarme qu&#233; significa dejar el hogar y qu&#233; nos llevar&#237;amos con nosotros si tuvi&#233;ramos que empezar de nuevo: qu&#233; memorias personales o colectivas, historias y lenguajes visuales sentir&#237;amos esenciales para quienes somos como seres humanos.</span></p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img"

En contextos muy distintos, muchos de ellos trabajan con historias culturales, ind&#237;genas o ancestrales y reflexionan sobre c&#243;mo esas historias pueden trasladarse hacia el futuro.</span></p><p><span>Para m&#237;, eso habla directamente de lo que 603 Arts intenta hacer: reducir parte de la distancia entre estos lugares y mostrar cu&#225;nto compartimos en realidad. Yo tambi&#233;n lo he vivido personalmente. Mi pareja creci&#243; en Brasil y yo soy filipina, pero existen much&#237;simas similitudes en la forma en que nos criaron y en c&#243;mo funcionan nuestras culturas. Me pareci&#243; algo sorprendente y, al mismo tiempo, muy reconfortante, y me encantar&#237;a que m&#225;s personas pudieran experimentar esa sensaci&#243;n de conexi&#243;n.</span></p><div
