interior corridors

April 21, 2026 – May 30, 2026

About a hundred years ago, there was a specific shift in domestic architecture that reflected a broader change in the concept of privacy. In large mansions, such as the one that houses our gallery, the rooms were connected by doors, in the style of the 19th century. At that time, privacy was still confined to the family sphere, not the individual. By 1950, this was already unthinkable.

Almost a century later, this house has taken on a new life, where the interior doors have been removed and people once again move through the interior passages of a space that is both private and public at the same time.

Net-traps and wrist flicks
Gabriel Acevedo Velarde

April 21 2026

In this second series of paintings on Nasca culture, Gabriel Acevedo Velarde reflects on current politics within a context of spatial saturation. Since the dawn of the Internet age, the idea of networks that connect us has been celebrated. A recent example is the contemporary romanticization of fungal mycelium.

The artist proposes an alternative path. These are networks like those traps that activate when stepped on and ensnare the people around them in a hanging mass. Acevedo’s motivation is to show that pre-columbian cultures can be revisited in ways that are alternative or complementary to claims of identity.

The net that traps, that does not resolve, that does not articulate, becomes a figuration of the state of contemporary Peruvian politics.

"Pinacoteca Migrante" at the National Library of Spain
Sandra Gamarra Heshiki

Jun 02 – Sep 14, 2025

We are pleased to share that Sandra Gamarra’s “Pinacoteca Migrante” has opened at the Biblioteca Nacional de España in Madrid. This marks the first time a project from the Spanish Pavilion at the Venice Biennale is presented on Spanish soil.

Curated by Agustín Pérez Rubio, the exhibition critically examines the traditional narratives of museums, highlighting the stories of migrants—human and non-human—that have been historically marginalized.

Through six rooms and a central garden, Gamarra invites us to reflect on colonial legacies, extractivism, and the construction of cultural memory.
