MASA Galeria and Luhring Augustine Team Up for New Mexico City Show
A cross-continental dialogue of art, design and friendships in flux.
In the heat of Mexico City Art Week, MASA Galeria is teaming up with New York-based Luhring Augustine for their second collaborative exhibition. Housed at MASA’s historic homebase, the show brings together six artists and designers – three from each respective gallery – pairing voices from Mexico and beyond in cross-cultural, visual dialogue.
Grounded by the idea of friendship and its states of flux, the show nurtures a space where, as the galleries note, “unexpected encounters among recognizable idiosyncrasies arise.” Works on view come to life through an agency of their own, reflecting an excitement to “embrace an identification, even admiration or affection, with someone considered other than oneself.”
Unfolding across three rooms, the exhibition traces a series of connections in artistic vignettes: Pipilotti Rist and Alma Allen, both concerned with inner visions and collective consciousness, transform the fantastical into the material; while Eva LeWitt and Héctor Esrawe’s use of industrial materials land them into the horizon between lightness and architecture. Elsewhere, Renata Petersen and Diego Singh marry practices of glass blowing and painting through a shared approach to figuration and abstraction, evoking a pure, human spirit in a transcendental space.
MASA x Luhring Augustine: Vol 2 is now on view until March 29, 2025.
