We delighted to invite you to the opening reception of «A Peruvian House», bringing together the work of five young contemporary Peruvian artists.
PV: May 27, 19:00-21:00
The artists featured in «A Peruvian House», working across various media (painting, sculpture,
installation), engage with the theme of the house, presenting it not as an idyllic or dogmatic space but as
a space of contested meaning – whether to reveal the veils that shroud the archives of childhood scenes
(as in the case of Fabiola Gonzáles), to introduce the uncanny into the familiar/familial (Juan Carlos
Catacora, Jorge Miranda Jaime), or to recreate and question migrante and conera identities and
memories and their resistances through painting (Ashly Gómez) and visual and sound installation (Mafer
Ortiz Ballarta).
Under the gaze of curator Matheus Calderón Torres, «A Peruvian House» brings together five young
contemporary Peruvian artists, based in Lima, Perú, in a pioneering group exhibition hosted by Somers
Gallery, a champion of Latin American art in London.
Not every house, not even the house, but just one, one of many. The challenge is not to attempt to
represent the whole, but to gain an understanding of it through cross-cutting, partial and singular
perspectives, such as those presented by these artists.
