08.11.2025 Is it possible to think about La Chola’s work beyond the frameworks that have so far structured the biography she herself has narrated and constructed? Now that she is established within the context of contemporary art, are the stories of Guaymallén, her arrival in Buenos Aires, and her transition from a socially normed sex to a versatile sexuality no longer sufficient? Can we unlearn what we know and look at her work with new eyes?

17.10.2026 Querido Teto: sin comentarios, by MARCELO POMBO. Curated by Bárbara Golubicki. I found this photo the other day.It’s one of the very few I have of me when I was fourteen, when my aunt came to visit from Australia. She’d moved there a couple of years before and had come back to see her parents, who were seriously ill. On her trip to Argentina, she took a few photos and then sent them to me from Australia once she’d got back. She called me Teto. On the back of the photograph, she wrote: ‘Dear Teto: no comment’. Excerpt from the text, Trapos de cocina by Mauro Libertella
08.08.2026 LUCIANA LAMOTHE Like her predecessors, Luciana is responding to the systemic violence of our present by harnessing the power of tools and materials which are forced to subvert their usual uses and functions to interrupt the systems they belong to. Now, in overwhelming scale, Lamothe’s works continue to expose – and sometimes threaten – the fragility and violence of our lives. What they offer is not the promise of redress or resolution but a radical new path forward. A gesture that refuses to perpetuate the illusion of seamless progress and instead presents an aesthetic of risk.
