Collective Show
streams of dragonflies

Aug 13, 2025 – Sep 13, 2025

“streams of dragonflies” presents the work of seven artists: Elena Damiani, Cristina Flores Pescorán, Sandra Gamarra Heshiki, Ximena Garrido Lecca, María José Murillo, Rita Ponce de León, and Elena Tejada-Herrera. The exhibition addresses themes such as territory, culture, and the body. Although their approaches differ in form and technique, they share an interest in revisiting established narratives and, through their artistic practice, proposing new conversations that emerge from both materiality and concept.

The exhibition includes a curatorial text that links the works to excerpts by writers from diverse literary and academic contexts, creating a dialogue between image and word. From there, the works explore memory and the connections between the personal and the collective.

 

Transmutaciones
Martha Vértiz (1941–2022)

Aug 13 – Sep 13, 2025

Martha Vértiz’s (1941–2022) artistic career traverses abstraction from a personal path that avoids both pure geometric formalism and traditional figuration. Instead, she develops her own visual grammar, where form and color become engines of exploration and meaning, and where each work opens up a space for free invention and contemplation.

Starting from color and a more elemental form, Vértiz achieves compositions that suggest a constantly expanding vocabulary. Her pieces seem to articulate themselves as conjugations and declensions, as actions and gestures that transform the line of the drawing, the chromatic harmony, and the pictorial texture.

Throughout her career, the artist has gone through different creative stages, trying out various themes, materials, and techniques. However, her work has always been based on the same foundation: meticulous discipline and a sober and deliberate use of resources.

 

Sandra Gamarra Heshiki
"Pinacoteca Migrante" at the National Library of Spain

June 2 – September 14, 2025

We are pleased to share that Sandra Gamarra’s “Pinacoteca Migrante” has opened at the Biblioteca Nacional de España in Madrid. This marks the first time a project from the Spanish Pavilion at the Venice Biennale is presented on Spanish soil.

Curated by Agustín Pérez Rubio, the exhibition critically examines the traditional narratives of museums, highlighting the stories of migrants—human and non-human—that have been historically marginalized.

Through six rooms and a central garden, Gamarra invites us to reflect on colonial legacies, extractivism, and the construction of cultural memory.
