Notes related to Travesía Cuatro

Gonzalo Lebrija and Jorge Méndez Blake transform the lighthouse into a structuring axis at the boundary between worlds in Finisterre. Moving away from the documentary, the exhibition seeks to create a poetic and sensory experience that invites the viewer to reflect on perception and limits.

At its Madrid venue Travesía Cuatro presents Las niñas del altiplano, an exhibition that forms the second chapter of Donna Huanca’s (Chicago, United States, 1980) first solo show in this space. While in Lengua de Bartolina Sisa (2017) the Bolivian-American artist paid a personal tribute to the heroine who led the Indigenous revolution against colonialism in the 18th century, her most recent proposal focuses on the female body and psyche, seeking reconstruction on all levels and instrumentalizing ritual as a means of repair oriented toward the future.

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.

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.
