[Sydney]

These are the very last days to visit the 25𝘵𝘩 𝘉𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘯𝘢𝘭𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘚𝘺𝘥𝘯𝘦𝘺: 𝘙𝘦𝘮𝘦𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘺, curated by 𝗛𝗼𝗼𝗿 𝗔𝗹 𝗤𝗮𝘀𝗶𝗺𝗶 and featuring works by 𝗕𝗮𝘀𝗲𝗹 𝗔𝗯𝗯𝗮𝘀 & 𝗥𝘂𝗮𝗻𝗻𝗲 𝗔𝗯𝗼𝘂-𝗥𝗮𝗵𝗺𝗲 and 𝗘𝗱𝗴𝗮𝗿 𝗖𝗮𝗹𝗲𝗹.

A means of revisiting, reconstructing, and reclaiming histories that have been erased or repressed, 𝘙𝘦𝘮𝘦𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘺 signifies the intersection of memory and history, where recollection becomes an act of reassembling fragments of the past—whether personal, familial, or collective. By engaging with 𝘙𝘦𝘮𝘦𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘺, artists highlight marginalised narratives, share untold stories, and inspire audiences to rethink how memory shapes identity, belonging, and the creation and celebration of new communities and connections.

If you’re in Sydney this weekend, you can see Calel’s 𝘗𝘢 𝘴𝘶𝘵𝘻’ 𝘹𝘬𝘪𝘹 𝘵𝘻𝘰𝘭𝘰𝘫𝘱𝘦 (𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘮 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘧𝘰𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘺 𝘸𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘳𝘦𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘯) at the White Bay Power Station, and Abbas & Abou-Rahme’s 𝘜𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘭 𝘸𝘦 𝘣𝘦𝘤𝘢𝘮𝘦 𝘧𝘪𝘳𝘦 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘧𝘪𝘳𝘦 𝘶𝘴 at the Campbelltown Arts Centre.

[Basel]

Excited about our upcoming presentation at 𝗔𝗿𝘁 𝗕𝗮𝘀𝗲𝗹 2026, where we are showing a selection of works by 𝗥𝗼𝘀𝗮 𝗘𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗮 𝗖𝘂𝗿𝗿𝘂𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗰𝗵 (1958-2005, Chi Xot).

For decades, Curruchich’s work was largely unknown. Yet in recent years, it has attracted significant international attention marked by important institutional exhibitions, including the 2024 Venice Biennale, and a two-person show with Angélica Serech at Museo Universitario del Chopo in Mexico City, curated by Miguel López (currently on view at La Nueva Fabrica
in Guatemala).

In October of this year, the Museu de Arte de São Paulo (MASP) will open a solo exhibition of her work, accompanied by the first monograph dedicated to her practice, signaling a necessary revision of art history in order to include the conceptual and political contributions of Indigenous women’s practices across Latin America.

Come see Rosa Elena Curruchich’s painstakingly detailed miniature paintings next week at the 𝘍𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘦 sector, 𝗯𝗼𝗼𝘁𝗵 𝗗𝟭𝟮! For a preview, send us a DM or an email to [email protected]

Hace un mes, 𝗥𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗮 𝗝𝗼𝘀é 𝗚𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗼 presentó su performance 𝘎𝘈𝘓𝘐𝘓 en 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝘆𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗼𝘀 𝗨𝗹𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘃𝗶𝗼𝗹𝗲𝘁𝗮.

“La obra parte de una denuncia precisa. Israel está cometiendo hoy un genocidio en Palestina. La destrucción de viviendas, hospitales, escuelas, infraestructura de producción y circulación de alimentos, cuerpos y formas de vida ocurre en el presente inmediato de Gaza, pero arrastra una historia más larga. Desde el inicio de la Guerra Fría, la confrontación entre grandes potencias produjo y encubrió muchas guerras locales, sostenidas por la circulación de armas, entrenamiento, asesoría militar, inteligencia y doctrinas contrainsurgentes. Galil se sitúa en esa trama. Desde Palestina, la obra de Regina José Galindo abre una pregunta sobre esas otras geopolíticas de la destrucción, aquellas que conectaron territorios lejanos mediante tecnologías de aniquilamiento aplicadas sobre poblaciones construidas como amenaza.” - 𝗔𝗹𝗲𝗷𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗿𝗼 𝗙𝗹𝗼𝗿𝗲𝘀-𝗔𝗴𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗮𝗿

Compartimos detalles de dos de las nueve miniaturas de 𝗔𝗻𝗱𝗿é𝘀 𝗖𝘂𝗿𝗿𝘂𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗰𝗵 que forman parte de su muestra 𝘗𝘦𝘲𝘶𝘦ñ𝘰𝘴 𝘴𝘶𝘴𝘱𝘪𝘳𝘰𝘴, en sala hasta el 19 de junio.

Curruchich (1891–1969) fue un artista autodidacta que hoy es considerado uno de los personajes más influyentes en la historia del arte guatemalteco. Pasó de trabajar como agricultor y pintor de casas a convertirse en el precursor de un movimiento artístico fundamental de su pueblo natal San Juan Comalapa (Chi Xot), donde continúa siendo un referente importante para los artistas de hoy.

Curruchich (1891–1969) was a self-taught artist who is now regarded as one of the most influential figures in Guatemalan art history. He rose from working as a farmer and house painter to becoming the precursor of a foundational artistic movement in his hometown of San Juan Comalapa (Chi Xot), where he continues to be a reference for today’s artists.

[Venice]

Thrilled to share additional views of 𝗝𝗼𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗻𝗮 𝗨𝗻𝘇𝘂𝗲𝘁𝗮’s current solo exhibition at 𝗖𝗮𝘀𝗮 𝗠𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗿𝗼 – the former home and library of Venetian art historian Michelangelo “Mic” Muraro (1913–1991) and his wife, theater historian Maria Teresa Muraro.

From the early 1960s through the late 1980s, Casa Muraro developed into an informal academy, an international gathering place for scholars and students from all over the world. Now, under the care of 𝗖𝗼𝗹𝘂𝗺𝗯𝗶𝗮 𝗨𝗻𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗶𝘁𝘆, the venue hosts Unzueta’s 𝘔𝘪𝘳𝘢𝘤𝘭𝘦𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘗𝘭𝘶𝘮𝘣𝘪𝘯𝘨, curated by 𝗝𝘂𝗹𝗶𝗮 𝗕𝗿𝘆𝗮𝗻-𝗪𝗶𝗹𝘀𝗼𝗻.

For this show, Johanna Unzueta has created a site-specific installation that takes into consideration the unique challenges of Venice as a miracle of plumbing in which water, bodies, and resources are channeled and redirected.

Desde principios de la década de 1960 hasta finales de la de 1980, Casa Muraro se convirtió en una academia informal, un lugar de encuentro internacional para académicos y estudiantes de todo el mundo.

Last week to visit 𝗔𝗯𝗯𝗮𝘀 𝗭𝗮𝗵𝗲𝗱𝗶’s 𝘌𝘟/𝘐𝘛: 𝘓𝘐𝘍𝘛, his first solo exhibition in Ireland, currently at 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗗𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗹𝗮𝘀 𝗛𝘆𝗱𝗲.

𝘌𝘟/𝘐𝘛: 𝘓𝘐𝘍𝘛 forms part of Zahedi’s practice framework which he terms dissociative realism. This approach sees him transform spaces of art into sites for processing the embodied dimension of post-traumatic states – most persistently grief, but also displacement, exhaustion, ideological collapse, and forms of social and political overwhelm that exceed individual coping mechanisms.

Concurrently in Gallery 2, Abbas Zahedi and poet 𝗕𝘂𝘀𝗵𝗿𝗮 𝗠𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗳𝗮 𝗗𝘂𝗻𝗻𝗲 collaborate on a work titled 𝘒𝘦𝘦𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘳𝘢𝘪𝘯 / نواح المطر, after a poem of the same name written by Dunne and played on an LRAD (long-range acoustic device) sourced by Zahedi. Often referred to as a ‘sound cannon’, the LRAD has increasingly been used as a sonic weapon in military and civil settings, and was first ‘tested’ by the American army during the 2003 invasion of Iraq, where Dunne’s mother was born.

Delighted to share some views of 𝗦𝗶𝗹ä𝘁’s astonishing installation for 𝘐𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘥 𝘸𝘦, the 59th edition of the 𝗖𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗲 𝗠𝘂𝘀𝗲𝘂𝗺 𝗼𝗳 𝗔𝗿𝘁’s 𝘊𝘢𝘳𝘯𝘦𝘨𝘪𝘦 𝘐𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘯𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘢𝘭 exhibition. The work is titled 𝘛𝘦𝘸𝘰𝘬: 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘳𝘪𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘸𝘦 𝘸𝘦𝘢𝘷𝘦.

𝘐𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘥 𝘸𝘦e features 61 artists whose works actively configure social life and collective experience that are deeply felt and spatially expansive. Most of the artist projects and presentations are commissions: In the spaces of the museum, they transform the publics’ experience of the inherited architecture and embedded social histories; and on the printed pages of the catalogue, they give new form and boost signal to works that evoke everyday acts, forms, materials, environments, and economies of circulation.

This 𝘊𝘢𝘳𝘯𝘦𝘨𝘪𝘦 𝘐𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘯𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘢𝘭 has been co-curated by 𝗥𝘆𝗮𝗻 𝗜𝗻𝗼𝘂𝘆𝗲, 𝗗𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗲 𝗔. 𝗝𝗮𝗰𝗸𝘀𝗼𝗻 and 𝗟𝗶𝘇 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝗸, and will remain on view throug January 2027.

[Basel]

For this year’s edition of 𝗔𝗿𝘁 𝗕𝗮𝘀𝗲𝗹, we are thrilled to present a solo booth by 𝗥𝗼𝘀𝗮 𝗘𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗮 𝗖𝘂𝗿𝗿𝘂𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗰𝗵 (1958-2005, San Juan Comalapa / Chi Xot), who is recognized as the first known indigenous woman painter of Guatemala.

In Curruchich’s signature miniature paintings, each figure, gesture, and scene is intimate in scale but monumental in meaning – affirming the dignity, quiet resolve, and centrality of Maya Kaqchikel women in community life.

If you’re doing Art Basel this year, come see the paintings up close at 𝗯𝗼𝗼𝘁𝗵 𝗗𝟭𝟮, at the 𝘍𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘦 sector!

Para la edición de este año de 𝗔𝗿𝘁 𝗕𝗮𝘀𝗲𝗹, nos complace enormemente presentar un stand individual de 𝗥𝗼𝘀𝗮 𝗘𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗮 𝗖𝘂𝗿𝗿𝘂𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗰𝗵 (1958-2005, San Juan Comalapa / Chi Xot), quien es reconocida como la primera mujer pintora indígena conocida de Guatemala.

En las emblemáticas pinturas en miniatura de Curruchich, cada figura, gesto y escena es de una escala íntima pero de implicaciones monumentales, afirmando la dignidad, la determinación y la centralidad de las mujeres mayas kaqchikeles en la vida comunitaria.

Si van a Art Basel este año, ¡vengan a ver las pinturas de cerca en el 𝗯𝗼𝗼𝘁𝗵 𝗗𝟭𝟮, en el sector 𝘍𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘦!

[Rotterdam]

Congratulations to 𝗙𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗽𝗲 𝗠𝘂𝗷𝗶𝗰𝗮 for his participation in 𝗞𝘂𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗶𝘁𝘂𝘂𝘁 𝗠𝗲𝗹𝗹𝘆’s group exhibition 𝘋𝘳𝘢𝘸 𝘞𝘪𝘵𝘩𝘥𝘳𝘢𝘸 𝘙𝘦𝘥𝘳𝘢𝘸! Departing from the extended sense of drawing, the show foregrounds recognition, resistance, and reinvention.

In preparation for the show, Mujica hosted a two-week embroidery workshop at Kunstinstituut Melly. Every textile project began with a series of drawings based on the same grid. Following a set of rules yet open to variation, these drawings form the starting point of each textile. The curtains made collaboratively during the workshop are now displayed, entering into dialogue with the space and the exhibition.

𝘋𝘳𝘢𝘸 𝘞𝘪𝘵𝘩𝘥𝘳𝘢𝘸 𝘙𝘦𝘥𝘳𝘢𝘸 is curated by 𝗚𝗮𝗯𝗶 𝗡𝗴𝗰𝗼𝗯𝗼, 𝗛𝗼𝗻𝗲𝘆 𝗞𝗿𝗮𝗶𝘄𝗲𝗲 and 𝗔𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗮 𝗚𝗿𝗼𝗯𝗵𝗼𝗹𝘇; it will be on view through October 2026. Make sure to check it out if you’re visiting Rotterdam this summer!

Últimas semanas para visitar la exposición individual 𝘗𝘦𝘲𝘶𝘦ñ𝘰𝘴 𝘴𝘶𝘴𝘱𝘪𝘳𝘰𝘴 del maestro pintor cachiquel 𝗔𝗻𝗱𝗿é𝘀 𝗖𝘂𝗿𝗿𝘂𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗰𝗵 (1891–1969) en 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝘆𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗼𝘀 𝗨𝗹𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘃𝗶𝗼𝗹𝗲𝘁𝗮.

Las pinturas de género de Curruchich representan a su gente no como sujetos estáticos, sino como participantes activos de una cultura rica y cambiante, y a menudo incorporan textos escritos a mano que describen las escenas retratadas. Juntos, imagen y texto forman un lenguaje visual distintivo que actualmente sirve como una fuente primaria invaluable y continúa influyendo a los artistas hasta el día de hoy.

𝘗𝘦𝘲𝘶𝘦ñ𝘰𝘴 𝘴𝘶𝘴𝘱𝘪𝘳𝘰𝘴 se mantendrá en sala hasta el 19 de junio. ¡No se la pierdan!

Last few weeks to visit 𝘗𝘦𝘲𝘶𝘦ñ𝘰𝘴 𝘴𝘶𝘴𝘱𝘪𝘳𝘰𝘴 (𝘓𝘪𝘵𝘵𝘭𝘦 𝘚𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘴), a solo exhibition by master Kaqchikel painter 𝗔𝗻𝗱𝗿é𝘀 𝗖𝘂𝗿𝗿𝘂𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗰𝗵 (1891–1969) at 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝘆𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗼𝘀 𝗨𝗹𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘃𝗶𝗼𝗹𝗲𝘁𝗮.

Curruchich’s genre paintings depict his people not as static subjects, but as active participants in a rich and evolving culture, and frequently incorporate handwritten texts that explain the scenes portrayed. Together, image and text form a distinctive visual language that now serves as an invaluable primary source and continues to influence artists to this day.

𝘗𝘦𝘲𝘶𝘦ñ𝘰𝘴 𝘴𝘶𝘴𝘱𝘪𝘳𝘰𝘴 will remain on view through 19 June. Don’t miss it!
