REGINA SILVEIRA: LATIN AMERICAN PUZZLE

What happens when an image fragments and time insists on rearranging it? In “Latin American Puzzle”, Regina Silveira (b. 1939, Porto Alegre, Brazil) revisits the same question three decades later. Presented at Alexander Gray Associates in New York, the exhibition brings together two puzzles, “To be Continued…” (1997) and “Continued…” (2025), which, rather than closing a cycle, expand it.

LA INTERNACIONAL ARGENTINA

«La Internacional Argentina» brings together works by 17 Argentine artists based (with temporary variations) in New York: Cecilia Biagini, Ivana Brenner, Rafael Bueno, Bibi Calderaro, Beto De Volder, Dolores Furtado, Julio Grinblatt, Nicolás Guagnini, Claudia Kaatziza Cortínez, Syd Krochmalny, Fabián Marcaccio, Sabrina Merayo Núñez, Luciana Pinchiero, Liliana Porter, Sofía Quirno, Analia Segal, and Pedro Wainer.

RE-COLLECTIONS

«Re-collections» surveys cultural extraction, Eurocentric archeology, and biased museology.  Echoing an increasing demand for the restitution of looted cultural artifacts and monuments, the exhibiting artists unveil co-opted narratives obscured under the lens of ethnographic scholarship.

JOHANNA UNZUETA: NATURALIST

In «Naturalist», Johanna Unzueta’s (b. 1974, Santiago, Chile) first solo exhibition at Casey Kaplan, the artist draws from the natural world and the balance between the earth and its living counterparts. In an intimate exploration of her surroundings, Unzueta engages with her Chilean history through its landscape, communities, and labor practices, incorporating organic materials that are indigenous to Latin America.

JJAGƗYƗ: AIR OF LIFE

The exhibition explores the profound impact of colonialism, particularly through the history of boarding schools established by the Capuchin Missions in the region. This colonial legacy has led to the decline of Indigenous languages, a disruption in the transmission of cultural knowledge, and the institutionalization of Christianity.

C.J. CHUECA: MERMAIDS IN THE BASEMENT

For “Mermaids in The Basement”, C.J. Chueca transforms the gallery into a metaphorical space where the different works on display take their titles from poems related to water, intertwining into an immersive installation. The title of the exhibition, taken from a poem by Emily Dickinson, suggests a displacement from a natural place, like the sea or any of our own ecosystems, to an urban environment.

GABRIEL CHAILE: ART AND LIFE IN A TIMELESS TIME

His first solo exhibition in New York, at Barro Gallery, is composed of two works from different periods of his own history as an artist. The pieces exhibited at Barro dialogue with the large adobe sculpture conceived for the High Line, Manhattan’s most important outdoor sculpture park.

EDGAR CALEL: B’ALAB’ÄJ (JAGUAR STONE) [PIEDRA DEL JAGUAR]

By recovering collective processes of meaning-making linked to the place of belonging, the exhibition calls for the persistence of a present that reverses the neoliberal logic of economic concentration and hyper-individualism. Instead, it offers the possibility of thinking about that shared place where one listens to what cannot be seen with the eyes.
