Piero Atchugarry Gallery, "Wifredo Lam: sus años en Cuenca", Miami 2019

Wifredo Lam: sus años en Cuenca
por Raisa Clavijo Especial/el Nuevo Herald
Los años formativos de un gran artista resultan periodos fascinantes para los coleccionistas y los historiadores del arte. Son esos ...años los que dan como resultado piezas que aportan luz acerca de los diferentes elementos que conforman el lenguaje de un creador. Piero Atchugarry Gallery, en Little River, está presentando hasta mediados de mayo una exhibición muy singular. Se trata de un conjunto de pinturas que datan del periodo entre 1925 y 1927, en el cual Wifredo Lam (Cuba, 1902-1982) pasó temporadas en la localidad castellana de Cuenca.
Lam había llegado a España en 1923, concretamente a Madrid. La que calculaba sería una corta estancia, en camino hacia París, se prolongó durante 15 años. Había ganado una beca para estudiar en Europa gracias a los primeros reconocimientos a su trabajo en su país natal. Traía consigo una carta de recomendación de Antonio Rodríguez Morey, quien en aquel entonces era director del Museo de Bellas Artes de La Habana, que le abriría las puertas de los círculos intelectuales madrileños.
Durante los primeros años en Madrid asiste a la Real Academia de Bellas Artes, específicamente a las clases de Fernando Álvarez de Sotomayor, director del Museo del Prado y reputado retratista. Sin embargo, a Lam no le satisfizo la formación academicista y el idealismo clásico que allí se promulgaba. Por ello, decidió matricular en la Academia Libre de Arte que había fundado Julio Moisés donde entró en contacto con las nuevas ideas y tendencias del arte moderno. Entre los estudiantes se encontraban también Benjamín Palencia, José Moreno Villa y Salvador Dalí, entre otros discípulos que más tarde destacarían como artistas de vanguardia.

Piero Atchugarry Gallery, "Room for Failure" Miami, 2019
Room for Failure is a group exhibition about the thought process and ...
Room for Failure is a group exhibition about the thought process and connection that exists between the mental space of the creator and the end result (the artwork)—the subjective versus ...the objective. It is often associated with the simple action of defeat, collapse, and non-success. Although “failure” has a negative connotation and it is read as a condition of not meeting a desirable objective, it often translates as a human, poetic, and magical moment that leads to triumph. The sixteen artists in this exhibition tend to function outside the norm of artmaking, where concepts charged with political, social, and personal histories collide with the use of unusual materials. The performative and the presence of the body bridge the soul to a particular moment in time.
ektor garcía’s mis manos crean lo que soy was produced in Guadalajara for the show Oficio y Materia at the Museo de Arte de Zapopan (MAZ). The piece is presented as an installation with multiple elements, such as ceramics and fabric, which evoke a chaotic universe that is in fact a reflection of the artist’s mind. It serves as a psychological self-portrait of time lived yet failing to be defined.
André Komatsu will exhibit three works that have been produced and chosen in conversation with the theme of the exhibition and carefully selected for the gallery space. These works serve as a metaphor for failed political systems in Latin America, a prevalent and seemingly recurrent condition since the postcolonial period. A bent iron bar supported on the wall by small nails confronts and engages the viewer with fragility and tension, akin to the precarity of the diverse systems throughout the region. In another work, orchestrated with cement bags deliberately and symmetrically ordered on the floor, the artist exposes and displays their contents through geometric incisions.
The Israeli artist Nahum Tevet‘s works from the 1970s to the present explore the disintegration and deconstruction of space and systems, using minimalism as a point of departure. For Room for Failure, Nahum will contribute a recent wall sculpture that is structurally complex and, while seemingly confusing, the very composition fails to “read.“
These three artists are exemplary of some strategies and interpretations of "failure" among the many other participating artists, including: Carmen Argote, William Cordova, Eugenio Espinoza, Cristian Franco, Dorian Gaudin, David Ireland, Pooneh Maghazehe, Guadalupe Maravilla, Michail Michailov, Irini Miga, Gabriel Rico, Martha Tuttle, and Sergio Vega.[+] Show More

Eugenio Espinoza: Good Blue Day, Piero Atchugarry Gallery, Miami,2019-20
About
The Piero Atchugarry Gallery presents Good Espinoza began his career by subverting the modernist grid, and is celebrating his work in reacting ...to the dominant movements of geometric abstraction and kinetic art in Venezuela in the 1960's and 1970's. For the past 50 years, Espinoza has continued his courageous and in-depth investigations of the grid. Good Blue Day presents a dynamic directory of new work using metal, color and an increased sense of play for the first time. In 2014 the Peréz Art Museum Miami (PAMM) hosted Espinoza's only exhibition “Unruly Supports. ”In addition to an essay by the curator of the exhibition catalog will feature a new interview with the artist by PAMM Executive Director Franklin Sirmans.Good Blue Day's will debut with a soft opening on December 1st and an Art Basel Miami Beach-week opening.
Curated by Claire Breukel, Good Blue Day offers a selection of new work by Espinoza never-before exhibited publicly. As the title paradoxically implies, Good Blue Day presents the layered tension within Espinoza's oeuvre. Collectively, these works juxtapose the duality of his practice - controlled / uncontrolled, formal / informal, grid / chance, offering a playful, simultaneous entry point to re-read Espinoza's work. Newer and previous work will be exhibited together thematically rather than chronologically. This exhibition aims to present Espinoza's work without the laudity of institutional politics, and rather with a new blue bread that shows an unconstrained and "support-less" approach.In addition, Espinoza's work is presented non-geographically to show the eclectic contexts from which the artist is currently resides, among others. Claire Breukel shares:

“When I met Eugenio I was inspired by his dynamism and his free approach to making, changing, reproducing and expanding upon his work. To me he is one of the most important contemporary artists of his time, and his boundary breaking investigations, his signature grid

The Fundacion Pablo Atchugarry in Miami is pleased to present Abstracción Eterna (Eternal Abstraction), an exhibition of drawings, paintings and sculptures by one of ...the Most Important living artists Geometric Abstract from Colombia, Jorge Riveros . Founder and sculptor Pablo Atchugarry, a devoted collector of work by pioneers of Geometric Abstraction in Latin America such as José Pedro Costigliolo and María Freire, welcomes Riveros to the Miami Fundación to pay homage to a prolific, living legacy. Abstracción Eterna will present drawings, paintings and sculptures from the 1960s to 1970s, following his journey through Abstraction, Constructivism and Geometric Abstraction. These early investigations made by Riveros will be shown in tandem with paintings made as recently as 2017 from sketches the artist made during his time in Germany. In addition, the exhibition will realize a 1973 concept by Riveros for the first time as a large-scale mural. Activating the exterior of the Gallery building, the mural will serve as 5520 NE 4th Avenue's first public artwork. Throughout his career, Jorge Riveros has devoted himself to maintaining the golden mean or golden ratio as his defining aesthetic principle. Abstracción Eterna explores the scope in which this aesthetic principle is applied through various mediums, colors and forms to generate a harmony that transcends language itself.[+] Show More

Dagoberto Rodriguez: Planeta de Cristal, Piero Atchugarry Gallery,2021
About
The Piero Atchugarry Gallery presents Planeta de Cristal ( Crystal Planet ), a futurist solo exhibition of video work, watercolor work, and an ...immersive installation by one of the most influential Cuban artists of the turn of the century, Dagobert Rodríguez. Conceived almost entirely during the outbreak of the pandemic, Crystal Planet seeks to imagine a future That endures beyond the unfulfilled promises of modernism, and the fragile state of the earth's present social, political, and environmental circumstances. Curated by AlunaCuratorial Collective (Adriana Herrera & Willy Castellanos), Crystal Planet is also the inaugural show of Rodríguez's representation in Miami. Dagoberto Rodríguez Sánchez was born 1969 in Caibarién, Las Villas and graduated from Instituto Superior de Arte (ISA), La Habana, Cuba in 1994. Upon finishing his Arts degree in 1994, he spent another three months of compulsory military service. In 1992 he co-founded the historic-artistic collective Los Carpintero (1992-2018). Currently working between Madrid and Havana, Rodríguez combines architecture, design, and sculpture, using humor and irony to express himself on core themes in art, politics, and society. His work is in permanent collections of major institutions such as MOMA, Whitney Museum of American Art, Guggenheim in New York, Center Georges Pompidou in Paris, Tate Modern in London, and Museo Centro de Arte Reina Sofia in Madrid among others.
The title and the works exhibited in Crystal Planet alert us to the earth’s vulnerabilities. The exhibition is, as Aluna Curatorial Collective states, “a space to face the winds of political anomie and ecological destruction. The title and the works exhibited in Crystal Planet are a measurement of our vulnerability and activate various warning signs that in some way interrupt the vertiginous nature of a critical time.” Watercolor landscapes of sinking remind us that we inhabit this Crystal Planet and that it is increasingly urgent to find ways of living together that not only protect our species but also prevent the extinction of other kingdoms. In other watercolors, as the curators explain, Rodríguez takes up the monumental design of complex architectures particularly inspired by fascist dreams of dominance and surveillance and transmutes them into spaces of "paideia"— fictional places for shared learning, and/or communal ways of living out of the shadows. In recent years Rodríguez has drawn labyrinthine tunnels which, behind their beauty, harbor the terrible possibility of trapping you within them. Now, Rodríguez invites us to enter his Túnel , a large interactive tunnel that he designed throughout 2020. This time, there is an exit, not only within the exhibition space but within the passage of the present that we fulfill by daring to imagine: "Think for example—he says—of a world in which it would be possible to be happy where you are born." To the curators' point, “Rodríguez uses, but simultaneously transcends, the deconstructive strategies of parody and play, of humor and political irony, and ends up building a scenario that proposes an immersion in the possibility of imagining alternate futures.”[+] Show More

Piero Atchugarry Gallery is pleased to announce Rhizome, contemporary Japanese sculptor Keita Miyazaki's inaugural exhibition in Miami. Paradoxically biomorphic and otherworldly, Miyazaki's sculptures converge the bulk of discarded car engines ...with the weightlessness of folded paper and sewn felt.

"Revealing" Richard Garet & Andres Michelena & 50 Years, a Day. Studio la Città, a Story, Piero Atchugarry Gallery
“I felt it was important to commemorate Hélène’s career. She was ...one of the first gallerists to venture outside of the motherland (Italy), her research was substantial and brave (spanning several countries and borders), discovering and nurturing several influential artists from the 2nd half of the 20th century.
She was able to establish herself in a time when female dealers were few and far between. In many ways, this show is about immortalizing history so as to not lose sight of the significance of what it means to be a gallerist.”
— Piero Atchugarry
Piero Atchugarry Gallery presents Revealing, an immersive exhibition of sound art, poetry, and installation by Richard Garet and Andres Michelena.
Richard Garet and Andres Michelena’s first collaborative exhibition, Revealing meditates upon the subtle nuances of space, matter, and subjectivity from a phenomenological yet poetic point of view.
Starting on April 2nd, 2022, Piero Atchugarry Gallery Miami will host the exhibition 50 Years, a Day. Studio la Città, a Story. Given the competitive nature of the art world, this exhibition constitutes an absolute oddity: an open dedication from gallerist to gallerist, and a tribute to 50 years of Studio la Città, which has contributed to defining the history of contemporary art in Italy.[+] Show More

"Don’t fence me in", Alicia Viebrock, @Piero Atchugarry Gallery
Piero Atchugarry Gallery is pleased to announce Don’t fence me in, an inaugural solo exhibition by German- born abstract artist, Alicia Viebrock. ...The exhibition introduces the artist’s latest series of ink and acrylic abstract paintings of sizable dimension. Streaky colors in opaque masses coupled with washed-out pigments that marinate on the surface make up the walls of the exhibition space. As its title suggests, Don’t fence me in is at once a declaration of an individual that has overcome tremendous tribulations, and a promise to oneself to endure a life untethered.
Shapeshifting is possible for Viebrock, in Dopplegänger, 2022, the artist presents herself as she’d like to be seen—unapologetically—applying high-flowing ink and acrylic pigments to canvas, and with intense veracity. Sweeping color pools of blues, and reds burgeon from edge to edge, underlined with all-over drips and speckled with yellows that have been literally burned into the surface using a heat gun. Displayed in tandem are color restrictive paintings, depicting a more gentle, yet still gestural composition wherein the raw backdrop of the material used is as important as the painting itself. So as to lay down one’s arms and surrender to the canvas (or to lived experience), such is the case with Forgotten not forgiven, 2022. A cheekily titled Boy Bye, 2022, reminds us that at its core, Don’t fence me in, is a comeback story, in which the artist’s strength lies in the emphatic gestalt surfaces of her paintings and the titles that accompany them. They are complex, and sincere, reflecting the very nature of existence, like a diary recording of a moment in time, they are an instrument and result of observing, measuring, and navigating through life’s experiences.[+] Show More

Finds taken for wonders Chris Soal Miami Artchugerry gallery
The delight in discovery is something that has pushed my work forward ever since I started. It is through ...this moment of awe that the viewer is invited into a space of agency - for now, the parameters of a prior way of seeing have been dismantled, and there lies an invitation to reassess what has been relegated to the peripheral.”
- Chris Soal, Finds Taken For Wonder.
Piero Atchugarry Gallery is pleased to announce Finds Taken For Wonders, the debut solo exhibition in our Miami Survey of newly represented South African artist Chris Soal. Finds Taken For Wonders brings together key concerns in the artist’s sculptural practice, inviting viewers to reconsider their perceptual biases while challenging societal assumptions of value. Soal’s works poetically contain a deep longing to expose the destructive relationship between humankind and nature by engaging the viewer’s spatial awareness of their own body in relation to the monumental organic forms that shape these large-scale sculptures.
Through his use of discarded and mundane ephemera, Soal’s work intuitively develops the familiar to the point of the uncanny. Using conventional mass-produced objects such as beer bottle tops and bamboo toothpicks, Soal highlights the stories embedded into these found materials by extracting them from their typical context. Beer bottle tops become writhing, twisting forms, which appear almost intestinal, but in reality, serve as a reminder of the excesses available to us in our modern day. These elements of marginal discard become signifiers of the socio-political and economic excrescences of our society. And yet despite all they evoke, we cannot look away from the spiraling serpentine forms, we are spellbound and challenged through wonder, prompting the question: How do we see the world anew again?[+] Show More
