Time on my hands by Mark Whalen

at Casa Gilardi November 8 - December 2, 2023 Mark Whalen’s latest show “Time on my hands”, is his first solo exhibition in Mexico City. Mark’s versatile and interdisciplinary practice is characterized by his distinctive models rendered in bold, expansive fields of color. Casa Gilardi’s playfulness: its deep reds the color of Mexican sweets, the swimming pool’s magenta wall added for pleasure, and brightly painted walls smoothed down to give the illusion of light, is reflected in Whalen’s florescent hues, comical facial characteristics, and body language.

Nostalgia de izquierda. Fisuras a un loop político-estético

Curated by Natalia de la Rosa at Level 2 March 10 - April 29, 2023 In the general discourse of global art, regional art is often described as "political," but these characterizations are linked to a notion of militancy that has lapsed in the face of other processes, such as anti-patriarchal and anti-colonial ones, which break down the traditional dichotomous notion of left and right. Faced with this panorama, we present the work of four artists: Tatyana Zambrano (Medellín), the collective Depois do fim da arte (São Paulo), Arhat Alejandro (Michoacán-Guadalajara) and Alfredo Bojórquez (Mérida-CDMX), to rethink the ways in which political symbols are reappropriated, put in crisis and reformulated, and thus influence the present and the possibilities that exist to address this condition from a critical memory.

Todo en todo por todos lados todo el tiempo by Ale de la Puente

Curated by Michel Blancsubé at Main Room February 2 - April 22, 2023 Twenty-five works produced between 2010 and 2023 will be brought together in a fragmented volume to evoke our planet and this enigmatic cosmos full of constellations, galaxies, black holes, meteorites, stars and solar systems: records of phenomena and events, graphs of celestial movements, artifacts that invoke the magnetism that surrounds us, without forgetting the faithful presence of a satellite, silent witness of a small blue planet, fragile top in revolution, infinitely in revolution.

at Project Room November 17, 2022 - April 21, 2023 SAENGER Galería is pleased to announce the opening of The End Has Come, solo show by the artist Napoleón Habeica. In this second Habeica exhibition in collaboration with SAENGER Galería, the artist continues to develop a narrative in which he shows us his reality through still and moving images.
