SOFIA FERNÁNDEZ MOMENTO MÁS DIFÍCIL La adolescencia fue muy ruda. Después de vivir siete años en Minneapolis, regresamos a México y adaptarme a una burbuja muy cerrada de la Ciudad de México no fue fácil. El “qué dirán” pesaba mucho y entré en conflicto con mi identidad; me costaba entender dónde encajaba. Intenté pertenecer, muchas veces en los lugares y con la gente equivocada, lo que me llevó a experiencias difíciles y momentos de abuso. Eso despertó mucha rebeldía y una necesidad de probar límites. De alguna forma, esa rebeldía me llevó al arte. La creación fue lo que me ayudó a encontrarme, a ser yo. Me dio rumbo y me permitió vivir y experimentar la vida con menos juicio. MOMENTO MÁS LINDO O ESPECIAL Lo más especial de mi vida ha sido elegirme: ser artista. Vivir creando, observando, en diálogo con la naturaleza y con la memoria profunda de la cultura mexicana. Pero, sin duda, lo más valioso (y lo que me ha permitido sostener este camino tan gratificante como retador) ha sido mi red de apoyo: mi familia, mis amores, mis amigos y mi comunidad. FRASE QUE ME DEFINE “Yo soy antes de ser” (inspirada en Clarice Lispector)

Do not miss the final week to view Ground Work (Field Revision) organized by Los Angeles-based curator and Executive Director of The Cultivist, Joey Lico. The exhibition brings together twelve artists whose practices consider how the earth is held, shaped, remembered, and reimagined. Rather than depicting landscape, the artists work within its materiality. Dust, pigment, metal, and glass function not as metaphors, but as witnesses. Through sculpture, photography, painting, and installation, the exhibition examines how material and psychological terrains shape one another, and how acts of construction, resistance, and renewal emerge from the strata of lived experience.

A few more days to see Dibs, a group exhibition of seventeen artists, on view in Galleries One & Two. Scott Reeder is a multidisciplinary artist who is best known for his irreverent take on modernism, subversively using a litany of comedic devices in his paintings, sculptures, and installations to address complex ideas. His works are quizzical yet compelling, presenting a saccharine but serious critique of the history and stylistic traditions of art-making, and emphasizing the value of mark-making and expression in art. He explores ideas of both the presence and absence of the artist’s hand and often includes critical reconsiderations of the familiar and the mundane alongside humorous references to iconic art historical works. Reeder has had solo exhibitions at the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago, Retrospective in Hudson, 356 Mission in Los Angeles, Kavi Gupta in Chicago and Berlin, and Lisa Cooley in New York. His work has been included in group exhibitions at the 2003 Venice Biennale, Saatchi Gallery, and Museum of Contemporary Art Detroit, among other venues. In addition, Reeder’s public artworks have been installed in multiple cities, including Chicago and Miami, and have received extensive coverage in the press, often sparking debate because of their multifaceted potential meanings.

Working across photography, assemblage, and material abstraction, Marcel Duchamp, Sofía Fernández Díaz, and Harold Mendez question what lingers and remains. Marcel Duchamp’s inclusion reveals early fault lines in the language of material residue and abstraction. Sofía Fernández Díaz builds sculptural forms that balance between permanence and collapse, articulating presence through pressure. Díaz uses industrial and ephemeral materials to sculpt tension between structure and fragility, form and failure. Harold Mendez’s oxidized surfaces, water-worn wood, and stained textiles function as quiet excavations—objects that mourn disappearance while dignifying what remains. Mendez’s works hold the imprint of migration, labor, and layered memory. Drawing from Latin American histories and cultural inheritance, his practice is a quiet excavation—tracing resilience across geography and time.

Dibs continues through February 14th! We begin the new year with Dibs, a group exhibition of seventeen artists, in Galleries One & Two. The exhibition opened Friday, January 16th and continues through Saturday, February 14th, 2026. 🚧 The dead of a Midwestern winter. The seemingly unending accumulation of lake effect snow, sub-zero temperatures bringing sheets of ice glazing the streets and sidewalks, making one’s basic movements challenging. You’ve dug out the parking spot closest to your origin of comfort and safety. You put in the hours of making this claimed space yours— courtesy and generosity be damned! ‘Dibs’ colloquially refers to the unofficial tradition of reserving a shoveled or dug out parking space by leaving objects like chairs or cones in the spot after a heavy snowfall or storm. Dibs is a uniquely cold weather concept. It is also a conceptual summation of what it is like to endure life in a northern climate. With Dibs, we aim to playfully examine the way this time of the year affects change and evokes creativity in its impacted participants. 🚌 SOFÍA FERNÁNDEZ DÍAZ JOSH DIHLE DOVE HORNBUCKLE TONY LEWIS LIZ MCCARTHY NICHOLAS MOENICH JONATHAN MUECKE ARI NORRIS SUSY OLIVEIRA SCOTT REEDER ANDERS RUHWALD DEB SOKOLOW EDRA SOTO JESSICA STOCKHOLDER TRISH TILLMAN LAN TUAZON ADRIAN WONG 📷: @ianacephoto #dibs #andrewrafaczgallery
