'Bestia' EXB Exmouth Market, Private View 8th October, 6-8 pm

Founded in 2015, Elizabeth Xi Bauer began as an innovative online platform accompanied by pop-up exhibitions. In 2021, as the UK was exiting lockdown restrictions, the gallery took on the challenge of opening a permanent space in South-East London. Since then, in addition to an exhibition programme, Elizabeth Xi Bauer has collaborated on projects with international institutions, curators, and artists across São Paulo, Amsterdam, Brussels, and Lisbon. In 2025, to mark its tenth anniversary, Elizabeth Xi Bauer opened a second gallery space in London’s vibrant Exmouth Market, in Clerkenwell. Expanding from its original home in Deptford, this new location furthered the gallery’s mission to foster cutting-edge contemporary art and support both emerging and established artists on a global stage. Elizabeth Xi Bauer Deptford offers a residency programme, for national and international artists to develop their practice. The studio allows artists the opportunity to work in proximity to where their art will later be exhibited, giving them creative freedom to experiment with new materials and ideas.

Elizabeth Xi Bauer presents ‘Bestia’, a solo exhibition of new works by Pia Camil. The show marks both the artist's debut solo exhibition in London and her first presentation with the gallery. Drawing from personal experience, the exhibition explores the unstable boundaries between looking and being looked at.

Continuing Camil’s long-standing interest in dismantling fixed narratives and hierarchies, this upcoming exhibition invites viewers to connect with their own desire as a place for resistance. Throughout ‘Bestia’, Camil rejects binary ways of thinking that seek to separate instinct from intellect and the public from the private. Instead, the exhibition embraces complexity, emphasising the coexistence of multiple truths regarding the female experience. By unsettling fixed notions of womanhood and inherited structures, Camil argues for a nuanced understanding of identity and subjectivity, based on the collective experience.

Esvin Alarcón Lam, Antonio Pichillá Quiacaín and Simón Vega's trio exhibition, ‘Our Place in These Worlds’, continues until this Sunday, 27th September. To catch the exhibition before it closes, visit this weekend: Friday to Sunday, from 12 to 6 pm.

“Images always reflect light and project shadows. It is fascinating to show works in different places because we all share the same sun but experience its light in different time zones. I am trying to say that cultures permeate how art is produced, thought and interpreted, so this fact enriches the project because we all learn from the frictions that moving through places invariably bring. We all learn that we might be something, but we learn through movement that this is not something fixed. Because in different places your political status changes, and that can be both violent and fascinating.”

This week marks the final days to see Elizabeth Xi Bauer’s latest exhibition, ‘Our Place in These Worlds’, which closes on Sunday 27th September, 6 pm. The exhibition features Central American artists Esvin Alarcón Lam, Antonio Pichillá Quiacaín and Simón Vega.

‘Our Place in These Worlds’ is an exercise in self-curation, a negotiation of learning about, understanding, and juggling the diversity of perspectives on the relativity of the reality that defines them. It is an exhibition with the potential to bring together the passionate fascination shared among the artists for observing the other, who interprets, explores, and represents what they consider “the other.” The other observed, while observing and constructing the other, is a look at the stigmas, absences, and suppressions within the dynamics of mobility, which cannot interpret others except by seeing themselves, amid the disjunctures of the world-system.

‘Our Place in These Worlds’, with Esvin Alarcón Lam, Antonio Pichillá Quiacaín and Simón Vega, is currently on display at Elizabeth Xi Bauer.

“In my conversations with Simón and Esvin, we inevitably talk about art and the art system – fairs, biennials, curating, and who holds the power to decide what gets the green light and what doesn’t. Yet, it isn’t all about art; we also discuss life, our families, political actions, and their impact on our communities. I have always valued these conversations. We are artists who collaborate, but we are not a collective; I am more interested in maintaining this friendship than in being a collective.”

Elizabeth Xi Bauer is delighted to present 'Our Place in These Worlds', showcasing the work of Esvin Alarcón Lam, Antonio Pichillá Quiacaín and Simón Vega.

"Indeed, our practices deal with territories, and yes, these territories are intertwined as we move; our displacements change what we are as humans, friends, artists, and so on. I guess our territories are in conflict all the time; this is how we understand life. [...] And you learn that a very important part of the territory is within us; it’s not merely a physical thing. This is why identities are conflictive; they are like volcanoes. This is why I like to think of friendship as a border, because, as you’ve mentioned, when we collaborate, we share authorship, and that is a privilege. To think as a collective in these times is a privilege. Yet to be in a space of constant conflict and dispute is not a privilege, but something to be honoured, and this is why art matters."

‘Pillars of Hope’ presents a series of new ceramic sculptures by Abraham Kritzman, on display in the garden of Danielle Arnaud Gallery, Venice, from 7th to 13th September, 2026.
Taking inspiration from ancient Mediterranean pottery, Kritzman’s sculptures interrupt the relationship between form and function to deliver a series that feels at once unstable, playful, and interdependent.

Antonio Pichillá Quiacaín is among the artists exhibiting in the inaugural edition of the ARTCUT Triennial, ‘Exercises in Empathy’, supported by the Dicastery for Culture and Education.

Opening on 3rd September in Santiago, Chile, Pichillá’s work will be displayed in ‘Tramas de lo Vivo (Entanglements of the Living)’, one of seven chapters in the ARTCUT project. The exhibition continues until 22nd November, 2026.

This September, Thiago Barbalho features across two of the most important art fairs in the international cultural landscape; ArtRio, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and The Armory Show, New York City, USA. Barbalho is also participating in ‘Wild Metaphysics’ at Gaep Gallery, Bucharest, Romania.

The sixteenth edition of ArtRio, ‘SOLO_DUO’, showcases projects developed by one or two artists, from 16th to 20th September.
'Wild Metaphysics' features six contemporary Brazilian artists whose practices explore the extraordinary, the oneiric, and the metaphysical, opening 18th September, 6pm.
Returning to New York City’s Javits Center from 24th to 27th September, The Armory Show launches the city’s Autumn art season by welcoming around 230 galleries from over 30 countries to exhibit.

'Our Place in These Worlds', at Elizabeth Xi Bauer, brings together the work of Esvin Alarcón Lam, Antonio Pichillá Quiacaín and Simón Vega for the third installment of their touring exhibition.

"I think there’s poetry in these works, some humour as well. There’s also a strong sense of belonging, of understanding ourselves not as separate from our land but rather as products of the earth, the sea, the lake, and the metropolis, of the transplantation that took place in history, and our own personal stories that brought us to where we are. The colours, materials and dynamics of our surroundings all make their way into our ideas and work. We are talking about what it means to be fruits of these lands, of the places we call home."

‘Our Place in These Worlds’, at Elizabeth Xi Bauer, is an artist-led touring exhibition featuring works by Esvin Alarcón Lam, Antonio Pichillá Quiacaín, and Simón Vega.

Curated by Maria do Carmo M. P. de Pontes, the show is shaped through non-hierarchical collaboration and takes a collective, non-authoritarian approach centred on exchange.

Challenging dominant Eurocentric ideas of belonging, ‘Our Place in These Worlds’ engages with histories of colonisation and migration while resisting exoticisation and fixed notions of identity, opening space for shifting perspectives.

Elizabeth Xi Bauer is delighted to announce the representation of London-based artist Saint Takyi.

Takyi's multidisciplinary practice spans painting, sculpture, drawing and writing, constructing speculative worlds where mythology, spirituality and identity converge. Elizabeth Xi Bauer first presented Takyi's work in the duo exhibition, ‘Two Shores’, alongside Brazilian artist Ivan Moraes. Their representation marks a natural continuation of this relationship as the gallery supports the next chapter of the artist's practice through exhibitions, international opportunities and long-term development.

Alongside their representation, EXB’s Deptford Studio welcomes Saint Takyi for a summer residency. Takyi is currently undertaking their time in the studio as a site for experimentation, allowing ideas initiated in ‘Two Shores’ to unfold into an ambitious new body of work. The residency has enabled the artist to work on a larger scale while expanding the conceptual and material language of their paintings through sustained research, observation and making.

Elizabeth Xi Bauer looks forward to presenting Takyi’s work in the 2027 exhibition programme as their practice continues to evolve within the EXB residency.
