Currently on view at the gallery is the video piece Instrucción by Felipe Romero Beltrán.

Conceived as a strenuous yet graceful experience, the work investigates how the body contends with displacement and transgression. Developed through a collaborative choreography with dancer Lucía You and migrant Bilal Siasse, alongside three additional dancers, the piece draws on three years of research into the migration and integration experiences of young men who crossed the Spanish border by boat.


Structured in three chapters, Cargas (Charges), Suelos (Floors), and Elevaciones (Elevations), the video documents the exchanges, conversations, and creative process of its participants, celebrating improvisation, collective reinvention, and new rituals of presence and resistance. Instrucción positions the body as a living archive, exploring movement, identity, and transformation.

The work engages with two central themes: translating the border-crossing experience into choreographic language, and recording the dynamics of (in)communication between European dancers, distanced from these experiences, and migrants navigating marginalization. Through this dialogue, the project challenges dominant narratives and fosters new forms of solidarity and survival.

Currently on view at the gallery: Egyptian painter Nada Elkalaawy, featured in 1,2 Glissade et changement.

Her works, including An Arrangement (2025) and Breathe (In the Air) (2026), investigate memory, transformation, and the traces we leave behind. Through layered gestures, reworked surfaces, and subtle interplay of light, shadow, and reflection, these paintings hover between presence and absence, creating intimate spaces where past and present, the seen and the imagined, converge.

Drawing from personal archives, family photographs, and collected imagery, Elkalaawy transforms everyday objects and images into symbols of memory, regeneration, and quiet narrative. Each surface carries traces of prior gestures, inviting viewers into a contemplative encounter with layers of time, emotion, and unseen details.

Currently on view at the gallery is ‘The Unsolved’ by Abul Hisham.

In this work, Hisham explores the tension between visibility and concealment. Textured surfaces absorb and diffuse light, letting forms emerge and recede, never fully resolved. Drawing on premodern South Asian and Persian painting traditions, the piece balances fragmentation and material presence, creating a space where meaning is suspended and interpretation remains open.

Hisham navigates history, spirituality, and social structures through a materially driven practice. Here, acrylic and casting powder transform linen into a contemplative field where memory, power, and impermanence converge.

Abul Hisham K.H (b. 1987, India) is a contemporary artist working across painting and installation. He studied in Thrissur and Hyderabad before undertaking the Rijksakademie residency in Amsterdam (2021–23). His work has been exhibited internationally, including presentations in London, Dubai, New Delhi, and Amsterdam, and he is a participating artist in the 2025–26 Kochi-Muziris Biennale.
