SEBASTIÁN HIDALGO
PARTÍCULAS
21 May – 29 June 2024
Including a variety of works on canvas and paper by the Mexico-born and based artist, this engaging exhibition comprises Hidalgo’s most recent production and functions as a culmination of the artist’s 10+ year career. Known for exploring psychedelia, dreams and contemplation, Hidalgo brings together anthropology, cartoons, archaic art, sci-fi and mysticism in his practice.
The exhibition is primarily concerned with exploring the connections between the individual and the collective. Employing visuals sourced from his everyday life and using vehicles —moving collectively through the streets but containing individuals— as metaphors, Hidalgo seeks to reconcile the internal world with the external experience. Depicting shapes morphing and turning into other forms until they become dematerialized he presents particles as the unifying agent of our experience.

NATURE HOLDS A MIRROR
25 May – 15 Sep 2023
Nature Holds a Mirror brings together the work of eighteen contemporary artists from around the world who examine the ways in which human-centric systems can be questioned and transcended. The artists within the exhibition engage with a range of pictorial and sculptural approaches responding to the natural world, along with physical, fictional and psychological landscapes.
The exhibition includes depictions of biomorphic, seductive and contemplative ecosystems that through abstraction and figuration embody and coexist amongst themselves with a range of beings– animalistic, female, male, biological, queer, and organic bodies that embrace the changeability and fluidity within states of matter in relation to nature and identity.
The exhibition includes works by Akwetey Orraca-Tetteh, Alexandra Levasseur, Almendra Bertoni, Annie Brito Hodgin, Armig Santos, Ellen Siebers, J. Carino, James Watkins, Joanna van Son, Kora Moya Rojo, Maddalena Tesser, Maria Andrievskaya, Maria Conejo, Paula Turmina, Rosalind Howdle, Sebastián Hidalgo, Sofie Svejdova, Theresa Daddezio and Yoab Vera.
JAMES WATKINS
FUTURE PARADISE
6 May – 1 Jul 2023
Presented by Ambar Quijano at Casa Astrónoma, Future Paradise is James Watkins’ debut solo show in Mexico. Imbued with a reverence for the natural world, his new home in Latin America and the art of ancient civilisations, this latest body of work is rich with fauna, flora and fingerprints where seed-spreading hands meet celestial bodies and metaphorical offerings of plenty. These symbols of abundance all float in dialogue with bodily elements in constant flux, resulting in visual ecosystems hinting at the interconnected foundations of our reality.
Returning to the same surface over extended periods of time: scraping, sanding, abandoning, adding and subtracting allows the disclosure of subtle variations where the surface develops unique histories and unpredictable interactions. With traces from the past still visible in the present, Watkins exposes previous versions of the paintings and himself, with his work taking on an archaeological attitude, both to the surface of his paintings and his subconscious.
