Ninety-five years have passed since the iconic exhibition at New York’s Julien Levy Gallery dedicated to Manuel Álvarez Bravo (Mexico City, Mexico, 1902 – ibid., 2002), which brought the Mexican photographer’s work into the spotlight. Now, his oeuvre is once again the subject of study in Spain, where it had not been shown for more than a decade, through the exhibition organized by the Blanca Berlín Gallery in Madrid.

Espacio Mínimo presents Alamandas, the second solo show by Mauro Piva (Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, 1977) at the Madrid gallery. The proposal navigates through a universe with a strong natural presence, where connections between memory and spirituality—almost shamanic—emerge. From his own life experience, the Brazilian artist draws an environment built around remembrance, around the force and impact of the present upon the space one longs to return to, but which, in a certain sense, drifts away from the real.

The Madrid gallery VETA by Fer Frances hosts a double exhibition of Eduardo Sarabia’s (Los Angeles, U.S., 1976) work, made up of the series Mi gente and, complementarily, La luz. The production of the Los Angeles–born artist, who has lived for years in Guadalajara, Mexico, moves between traditional artisanal techniques and the most contemporary procedures of sculpture and installation and, above all—as is the case here—painting.

Bernal Espacio presents, in collaboration with the Albarrán Bourdais gallery, Drawings from the Year 2020, a solo exhibition that encompasses an interesting body of work, bounded in time, by José Antonio Suárez Londoño (Medellín, Colombia, 1955), one of the great figures of contemporary drawing. The series on display represents a visual record of the pre-pandemic and pandemic era, serving as a testimony to the uncertainty and isolation that surrounded and shaped the complexity of that period.

The space brings together nine artists who turn sculpture into domestic ritual and affective politics: installations that listen, fragmented bodies, maps of memory.

The exhibition project created in Madrid by the galleries Bombon Projects (Barcelona) and CRISIS (Lima) presents its second show, building a dialogue between the works of Daniel Jacoby (Lima, Peru, 1985) and Marie Zolamian (Beirut, Lebanon, 1975). The shared setting, conceived specifically for the intersection of artists, exhibitions, and unforeseen connections, takes shape this time with Pink specks of dust in a garden with no sun, a symbiosis of sculptural installation and painting that explores common ground in the human relationship with different environments.

Zielinsky presents Traces of Violence, an exhibition that brings together the most recent work by Marcelo Brodsky (Buenos Aires, Argentina, 1954). The show consists of a series of historical photographs taken during the genocide that occurred in Namibia at the beginning of the last century, which the artist intervenes either with insertions or by appropriating them, thus inviting reflection on violence and colonialism.

Her work moves between uprootedness and invention, between the intimate and the universal, proposing a visual language that resists labels and reactivates cultural memory through a singular perspective.

The Fernando Pradilla Gallery presents The Multiplication of Paintings, the second solo exhibition of Álvaro Barrios (Cartagena de Indias, Colombia, 1945) at the space.

Pan American Art Projects presents Idos de revoluciones as part of the opening of Madrid’s gallery season, a two-person exhibition curated by Nayr López that brings into dialogue the visions and works of Lorena Gutiérrez Camejo (Havana, Cuba, 1987) and Maikel Sotomayor (Havana, Cuba, 1989). Both members of the Cuban diaspora in Madrid, the artists engage in questioning official discourses through the restoration of the primordial, the revaluation of perceptions shaped from a distance, and social critique.

Carlos Castro (Bogotá, Colombia, 1981) arrives at La Cometa’s Madrid venue with Mythstories, an exhibition that delves into the validity of mythography as an active structuring force in contemporary societies. Employing a medieval aesthetic in the composition of the tapestries that materialize his work, the Colombian artist reinforces the idea that the genesis and support of myths remain present, just as they have always been, as constitutive narratives of history and historiography.

The artist presents a project that combines hand-painted photographs from the 1940s with contemporary paintings, reflecting on identity and incongruent family ties.

As part of Pinta Asunción Art Week, the exhibition takes inspiration from lichens to explore the intersections between artistic languages, cultural memory, and nature.

Christian Ceuppens and Carolina Noguera present at Viedma Galería de Arte an exhibition that merges tradition and design, exploring the connection between Tobatí’s ancestral ceramic knowledge and a modern architectural vision.

Vivir en arte brings together a selection of historical and recent works that testify to her global impact on art and her persistent desire to prove that artistic practice can infiltrate the spaces of everyday life.

Through small and medium-format works—new visual narratives from the Americas, Europe, and Asia—the exhibition explores the concept of landscape in a present defined by constant change.

The exhibition brings together fifty works by the Brazilian artist, created over more than five decades of artistic production.

For his first solo exhibition in Korea, Adrián Villar Rojas reimagines Art Sonje Center as a sculptural experiment in time and space.

Galería Habitante, in Panama City, will open on August 21 Invitados (Guests), the latest exhibition by artist Enrique Jaramillo Barnes. This show, through geometries, nostalgia, and chromatic play, invites us into scenes that are at once intimate and universal—a space where each visitor may rediscover their own memories.

The gallery presents a journey through the Argentine artist’s 1960s production, where pop language intertwines with occult symbols, esoteric imagery, and an alternative spirituality that defined his career.

The sculptures of the Peruvian artist reveal the movement of the natural world, from the monumental to the fragmentary.

The Madrid-based gallery Monte Esquinza 36 presents El Dorado, an exhibition curated by Karen García and Juliette Deschamps centered around action art, featuring photographic works by Fernanda del Barrio (Mexico, 1995), accompanied on this occasion by Marine Lanier (Valence, France, 1981) and Chen Qiulin (Wanxian, China, 1975).

Liquid Horizon offers a resonant meditation on land and water. Viewers are invited to immerse themselves in layered environments where boundaries between past and present, self and world, and memory and perception dissolve.
