We are thrilled to announce that we are moving to a new space and will celebrate with the opening of the exhibition resulting from the collaborative contemporary art laboratory HACIENDO CONTEXTO VII! Additionally, that night we will have a party with live acts and DJs.

The exhibition, conceived by artists Martin Gustavsson and Rodrigo Gómez Olivos in collaboration with proyectoamil, presents the works of artists Jean Bahamondes, Viviana Balcázar, Nicole Echeverría, Piero Figueroa, and José Carlos Flores in our new space in Barranco.

In the realm of art, there is a trend to search for the human or animal essence within objects or formations and subsequently transform them into sculptures or paintings. TORNAR(se) is the title of the 2024 edition of the laboratory and proposes shedding light on the question of what animated objects represent in the context of contemporary Peruvian art. Undergoing a transformation or simply changing direction can mark a crucial moment in a person’s life. It can manifest as an act of self-defense, a form of protest, or a demonstration of activism. It can also signify a spiritual awakening or an internal psychological change. Approaching this theme from a feminist perspective, the metaphor of turning into stone could symbolize a plea for defense against oppression.

To celebrate this special night, live acts #fffffff, Prado and Necrosante, as well as DJs EEEVEE and Sixta, will accompany us.”
