PILAR ZETA'S VISION AND DIGITAL DIMENSION IN LOAD

Antonio Pichillá (San Pedro de La Laguna, Guatemala) proposes a broad return to the atavistic and ancestral in his recent work, exhibited in the two venues of the Memoria gallery in Madrid under the title Abuela materna (Maternal Grandmother). This return should be understood beyond the mere construction or defense of an original identity, in order to encompass the full meaning the artist conveys through his work.

Egogenesis is the title of the solo exhibition that Travesía Cuatro presents at its Madrid headquarters for Manuel Solano (Ciudad Satélite, Mexico, 1987), exploring the origins of the ego through personal experience. The exhibition consists entirely of self-portraits that pictorially express different manifestations of the “I” and the emergence of self-perception.

Amid the centenary of Surrealism, or at least from what is officially understood as its inception with the publication of The First Surrealist Manifesto by André Breton in 1924, it is truly significant to access an exhibition as profound as 1924: Other Surrealisms, presented by the MAPFRE Foundation in Madrid, which will later tour other locations. This exhibition is important for the centrifugal perspectives it presents, emphasizing the expansion of the main official—or officialism—ideas beyond Breton's boundaries and granting maximum importance to Latin America in the acceptance, production, and collaboration within the movement.

The Madrid branch of Travesía Cuatro gallery presents an exhibition dedicated to Miriam Inez da Silva (Trinidad, Brazil, 1939 – Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, 1996). Curated by Cristiano Raimondi, the show delves into the work of one of the artists who most vividly captured Brazil’s modernization throughout the 20th century. Her small-format paintings on white backgrounds depict everyday life and the traditions shaping human relationships and their role in social structures.

The sincere fiction crafted by the Argentine artist captivates and steals the voice of those who come to see it. Honest and raw, it reveals the indelible traces of history.
