The Miami-based gallery presents this group show curated by Verónica Flom where the works revolve around questions like “What lies behind the merely visible?” and “What is the memory hidden in the landscape, in the trees, in our bodies?” Using photography, sculpture, or drawing, Gabaldón, Pettersson and Surel explore and produce those zones of silence, encounter, and transformation.

Working in just about every medium, including sculpture, performance, painting, printing, and installation, the course of Rafael Ferrer's (b. 1933, Santurce, Puerto Rico) artistic development defies categorization and moves beyond the significant art movements of the 20th century—Dada, Surrealism, Abstract Expressionism, Performance Art, Conceptual Art, and large-scale, figurative painting.

LALANA is an applied arts project devised by Argentine curator Florencia Cherñajovsky that transfers artworks by Argentine visual artists to the production of functional pieces: handmade rugs and tapestries, wallpaper and furniture objects. Weaving an interdisciplinary fabric, the venture that began in 2019 works alongside artists and artisans to create pieces that propose new ways of activating and inhabiting works of art. The exhibition will take place at the Xippas Gallery in Uruguay until May 29 under the title 'Essay 2', chosen because it is LALANA's second exhibition project - the first took place at the Nora Fisch gallery (BA) in 2021.

+Arte exhibits YO, MI YO, MI OTRO YO, EL OTRO, VOS Y MI GATO (ME, MY ME, MY OTHER ME, THE OTHER, YOU AND MY CAT). The exhibition, by the artist Jerónimo Albornoz, exhibits representations of the subject as agent, as participant, as dramatization and production.

Cada día, um nuevo fin de mundo (Every day, a new end of the world), by Pilar Elgueta, will be exhibited until May 7th at NAC (Contemporary Art Gallery). Her work is developed in multiple supports; from the installation to the recording of actions in various media: in it, she reflects on the relationship between the human and the landscape and its representation, the effort/result equation and the limits of our possibilities. She investigates metaphors and actions in search of elaborating the question about wills and their futility, considering failure or wear and tear as an aesthetic phenomenon.

Vigil Gonzales presents Fractured Atlas, the first solo exhibition by Puerto Rican artist Karlo Andrei Ibarra at the gallery.

The Guatemalan Gallery presents Clara de Tezanos’ solo exhibition El Sol es la Fuente (The Sun is the Source). Curated by Andrea Dardón, the exhibition presents a series of sculptures, light murals, poetry, photography, video art, installations and collective performances that take place as gestures of appreciation and whose syntax is the experience of the sacred based on light.

The Ecuadorian gallery +ARTE exhibits 'Homo Ludens' by artist Andrés Velásquez. Combining symbology and architecture, the artist formulates perspectives that propose new axes in terms of seriousness, purpose and custom.

José Olano (Cali, 1985) presents Lo que nos sostiene (What sustains us), an exhibition made up of videos, photographs and installations in the gallery’s Main Room. His works rise from the interest in balance and equilibrium.

The Colombian gallery presents VIDEOKINESIS curated by Carmen Gil Vrolijk. The exhibition delves into the exploration of transdisciplinary dialogues where the performing arts, installation, live video, generative image, sound and light materialize various plastic experiences that are traditionally ephemeral.

The +ARTE gallery exhibits uncanny, which highlights the works of artists María Fernanda Carlos and Pamela Corrales. Curated by Gabriela Moyano, the artists examine themes that come from their intimate sphere: holding and containing as female figures, the home, and healing rituals through the evaluation of ancestral, intergenerational, and personal knowledge. In this way, the exhibition generates an appreciation of the interrelationship between daily life and its territories.

La historia de la lona (The History of Canvas) is an international exhibition of canvases, textiles and paintings that narrate their stories and processes as well as those of the artists who intervene in them. The focus is then on the process, rather than the result.

The gallery, located in Bogotá, presents exhibitions of artists who, through explorations from the work and, more importantly, in the work, question the use of formal elements both in their proper sense and in contrast to other practices, both artistic and consumption-wise.
