We are proud to announce that on April 22, 2025, we inaugurated three parallel exhibitions at our space in Barranco, featuring projects by the distinguished artists Luz María Bedoya, Tania Bruguera, and Celia Vázquez Yui.
Each of these proposals, from its own unique perspective, explores the relationships between art, the environment, and society. Although the artists come from different generations, communities, and perspectives, their works engage in dialogue with one another, offering a rich and diverse experience.
Thanks to funding from the Mellon Foundation, managed by the Just Futures program at the University of Pennsylvania, Tania Bruguera’s project, Accelerated free fall (AFF), curated by Joselyne Contreras Cerda, connects art with the financial market through the donation of an artwork tied to an economic investment.
The project seeks to provoke reflection on the relationship between art and the financial system, ensuring both the presence of the work in art spaces and sustainable support for local artistic production. Bruguera has shifted her performance practice from the individual body to the institution, using money as a link between senders and receivers. Instead of directing the funds to her own work, she decided to transfer them to proyectoamil, which will manage and invest them in the stock market, thus reinforcing its impact on artistic communities.
