Spiral Time

June 22-August 4, 2024
Opening Reception: June 22, 6-8PM
Smack Mellon
92 Plymouth Street, New York, NY

Smack Mellon is pleased to announce the 2024 Emerging Artist Summer Group Exhibition, guest curated by Alex Santana. Spiral Time explores radical ecologies of resistance that challenge the temporal pressures imposed by capitalism. Decentering speed and efficiency, the artists included in the exhibition borrow from slow, careful, and intentional practices like seedkeeping, intergenerational storytelling, and synchronic experimentation. Working across sculpture, installation, video, and other media, the artists engage broadly with the dire concerns of the climate catastrophe while invoking cyclical ancestral systems and future possibilities for horizontal relationships to the Earth.

Off The Grid

November 3-30, 2023
Opening Reception: November 3, 6-9PM
LES Gallery @ The Clemente
107 Suffolk St, New York, NY

Off The Grid features works by artists G. Rosa-Rey, Luis Camnitzer, Gabo Camintzer, and Liliana Farber. Curated by Sofía Reeser del Rio in dialogue with the chief curators of BoriGuay, this exhibition boldly challenges conventional notions of territoriality. Through the lens of abstraction, innovative technologies, humor, and profound inquiries, how are the ways these works spark a reevaluation of boundaries and perceptions?

a region in the mind: terrenos y cuentos

February 16-April 8, 2023
Opening Reception: February 16, 6– 8PM
El Nuevo Hidrante
1221 Av. Jesús T. Piñero, San Juan, Puerto Rico

a region in the mind: terrenos y cuentos is the first solo show of visual artist G. Rosa-Rey, featuring paintings and works on paper. Rosa-Rey’s work invokes texture, gestural markings and grids to reference place. Conceptually, Rosa’s use of materials are informed by the Puerto Rican diasporic consciousness in the wake of Operation Bootstrap, and guided by her experiences growing up and living in the United States.
