Oscar Santillán
NON (New Natural Organs)
Apr 16, 2025 – May 31, 2025
The practice of Oscar Santillan (Ecuador, 1980) has mutated and expanded profoundly in recent years. His devotion to research, often immersed in history, science, and technology, remains, though now with a more decidedly sensorial and sensual approach.
NON (New Natural Organs), Santillan’s current exhibition, is based on the concept of Antimundo, coined by the artist, which refers to “that which exists beyond known reality. It is a cosmovision that embraces everything that escapes the logic of the dominant order, called the world“. Thus, if for the hegemonic world it is perfectly possible to categorize our planetary reality in a rational and systematic way (what modern science calls taxonomy), the Antimundo denies it by proposing relationships instead of linear categories.

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.
