Ximena Garrido-Lecca unveils "The Golden Crop" at The High Line, New York
07.2026 - 06.2027
We are pleased to announce the unveiling of “The Golden Crop”, a new public commission by Ximena Garrido-Lecca at The High Line, New York, curated by Cecilia Alemani.
For this installation, Garrido-Lecca presents a bronze water fountain in the shape of an ear of corn, exploring the intersections of Indigenous knowledge, colonial history, and contemporary industrial agriculture. Neon-yellow water flowing through the sculpture references glyphosate and its impact on ecosystems, while drawing attention to the displacement of native corn varieties by genetically modified crops.
Rooted in the historical landscape of Peru yet addressing global concerns, The Golden Crop invites viewers to reflect on the environmental, cultural, and social consequences of modern systems of resource exploitation.
Patrick Hamilton presents “Architectures of Power” at MAMBO
13.08.2026 – 11.01.2027
We are pleased to share that Patrick Hamilton presents “Arquitecturas del poder”, a solo exhibition curated by Eugenio Viola, now on view at the Bogotá Museum of Modern Art (MAMBO).
The exhibition brings together more than two decades of Hamilton’s artistic production, including paintings, installations, sculptures, photographs, and interventions. It examines the visible and invisible structures through which power operates, addressing the enduring effects of dictatorship, neoliberalism, and speculative capitalism in Chile and beyond.
Drawing on archival research and industrial materials such as copper, aluminum, and steel, Hamilton engages with the formal language of modernism, transforming abstraction into a political tool. The exhibition is organized across four sections (“Atacama”, “Bienal 74”, “Chicago Boys”, and “Clad Architectures” / “Abrasive Paintings”), each offering a distinct perspective on the artist’s ongoing investigation into power and its material forms.
Alexander Apóstol at MOCA Grand Avenue with “Regime: Dramatis Personae”
20.09.2026 – 03.01.2027
Alexander Apóstol presents “Regime: Dramatis Personae” at MOCA Grand Avenue in Los Angeles, on view from September 20, 2026 through January 3, 2027. Organized by José Luis Blondet, Senior Curator, the exhibition presents a series of ninety black-and-white portraits depicting the archetypal figures of populist and authoritarian governments, not representations of specific individuals, but of the roles produced and performed under autocratic regimes.
Photographed in Caracas in 2017 with LGBTQ+ activists who modeled figures of their choice from the proposed dramatis personae, Apóstol dissects the gestures, postures, and body language through which political power stages itself. The portraits span Venezuela’s history from independence to the Bolivarian Revolution, and resonate with sharp urgency against the country’s most recent political upheavals.
