Fátima Rodrigo
Fantasía Herida
Nov 28, 2024 – Mar 15, 2025
In Fantasía herida, Fátima Rodrigo (Lima, 1987) explores the frictions present in the construction of our imaginary and affectivity, through the exploration and extrapolation of elements from popular culture, the entertainment, fashion and design industries. The story in which Fatima immerses us is neither linear nor unidirectional. In it, a visuality loaded with fantasies and desires is shown as a space in constant dispute, where exploitation, discrimination, exclusion and invisibilization of the past, inescapable to the ideals of progress and western modernization, reappear under new forms and configurations. Fatima’s work then dwells on marginal details of the images she examines, as if they were small wounds, which allow her to make out certain power dynamics that still persist in the production of images in Latin America.

Short stories
Jan 15 – Feb 15, 2025
To say a lot using very little. Not the minimum, but just enough. Nicole, Piero and Kinshiro reduce some ideological universes -the discourse of archaeological legacy, gender and its popular representations, the interpersonal dynamics of the art world- to certain visual components that distinguish them: surfaces that imitate the roughness of the ancestral stone; reiterative figurations of diverse bodies; textures of skins also different, but tight and ready to hang on some wall.

"Pinacoteca Migrante" at the Spanish Pavilion in the 60th Venice Biennale
April 20 – November 24, 2024
The artist Sandra Gamarra will occupy the Spanish Pavilion with her project “Pinacoteca Migrante / Migrant Art Gallery”. As the first migrant chosen to represent Spain, Gamarra sees the museum as a narrator of great stories, which utilizes representation methods understood as “universal”.
Accompanied by the curator Agustín Pérez Rubio, the artist will transform the Spanish Pavilion into a historic gallery of Western art where the notion of “migration”, in its many facets, will be the protagonist. The Western concept of the art gallery, which was exported to the former colonies, is inverted, exposing a series of historically silenced narratives. Thus, “Migrant Art Gallery” responds to accessibility, diversity and sustainability within an institutional framework and inserts contemporary contexts in relation to racism, migration or extractivism. The protagonists are the migrants, both human and not.
