“The other point of interest was a vista framed by the backyard, a panoramic view of rolling mountains in Mulholland Canyon. On clear days, Mt. Baldy appeared with its snow cap; at dinner times, the ocean mist would drown the empty chasms in fog. Against the manicured homes and jewel-green swimming pools dotting the landscape, its essence still was wild: trees grew thick past the reach of power tools and architects, mustard plants bloomed and exploded and died as birds and squirrels darted in and through them. The inside world – the lives lived behind doors, in rooms; the time held in closets and cabinets and boxes – seemed an infinite set of reflexive meanings, a tunnel of mirrors that faced one another and led to the core of the Earth. When I slid the glass pane open in the kitchen, pulling the old screen behind it and stepping in the air outside, I felt my feet on the sun-warmed concrete and the light against my face. The hummingbirds and squirrels didn’t know about our problems. The canyon’s trees would burn to ash, and then regrow in cycles of fire and rain. Mt. Baldy watched 10,000 feet above us from the east. The view appeared contained, but it continued.”

Opening this Saturday at ICA San Diego! Ruben Ulises Rodriguez Montoya: 𝘐𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘎𝘢𝘳𝘥𝘦𝘯 𝘰𝘧 𝘌𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘩𝘭𝘺 𝘋𝘦𝘭𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵𝘴: 𝘐 𝘉𝘦𝘯𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘗𝘢𝘳𝘢𝘥𝘪𝘴𝘦

Opening reception: Saturday, February 21st from 4-7 PM featuring a panel discussion Bloodsuckers: Queering the Monstrous Other

In the Garden of Earthly Delights: I Bend to Paradise, Ruben Ulises Rodriguez Montoya’s first solo museum exhibition in California, is an immersive exhibition that integrates Nahuatl mythology with science fiction. Drawing from ancestral folklore, border politics, lived experience and popular culture, this exhibition relays the story of a stowaway vampire adrift on the wreckage of a spaceship meant to ferry the privileged into the future. Rodriguez Montoya’s sculptures and installations, made from disused materials, clothing and silicone, trace the vampire’s journey from wholeness to rupture and back again, mirroring the divisiveness, fear, and longing that shape our contemporary moment.
Ruben Ulises Rodriguez Montoya (b. 1989, Parral, Chihuahua, MX) is a multidisciplinary artist and myth-maker whose work centers around anthologies and social issues concerning border culture, abjection, adaptation, and mestizaje. Aided by speculative fiction, cultural mythologies, science fiction, and the labor of his family, his work hybridizes and creates parallels between the land, the human, and the animal as a way to investigate the process in which violence eradicates, erases, and erodes communities of color.

We are excited to return to Frieze LA at the Santa Monica Airport with a presentation of new works by Y. Malik Jalal. We will be in Booth F04 in the Focus Section from Feb 26-March 1.

The works by Y. Malik Jalal (b. 1994, Savannah, Georgia) will emerge as an extension of his winter 2025 show Pallbearer at Murmurs. Jalal works with salvaged car parts and hand-forged steel and bronze, drawing aesthetically and conceptually from the lineages of these materials: a century of steel mills in the South, cars for their inextricable link to class and mobility in America, in order to address histories of inequality. His distinctive sculptures function conceptually as frames that elevate found ephemera.

Thank you ARTnews for featuring our Zona Maco booth with Karla Ekaterine Canseco! “The Best Booths at Zona Maco 2026, Where Sculptures Using Natural Materials Shine” by Maximilíano Durón

“A different kind of natural material animates the work of Karla Ekaterine Canseco: petroleum. Her interest in petroleum stems from the outsize influence the substance has had over world history. Not only does petroleum carry geopolitical concerns in how world powers fight over it and exploit countries that are rich in it—look no further than developing Venezuela and US relations—but ecological ones, too, as its burning plays a decisive role in the climate crisis. Canseco imbues petroleum into her sculptures that continue a mythology of her own making in which human, dog, and machine are one in the same. In this world, everything becomes a vessel in which organic and inorganic materials—blood, iron, plastic, petroleum—collide.”

Come visit us in Booth EJ22 now thru Sunday 🤍

Day 2 of Zona Maco in Mexico City! Come say hello 👋 we’re in booth EJ22 in the Ejes section with new works by Karla Ekaterine Canseco

Obligatory return to inorganic. Lips doused in iron, 2026
Glazed ceramic, steel, patinated bronze
31 x 24 x 9 inches

Influenced by migration, machines, and desire, the work examines moments of friction and intimacy between different materialities. Human longing entangles with machinery, flesh meets petroleum, organic and industrial forms pierce and press against one another. These encounters are treated as ritual acts, where contact itself becomes alchemical.

02/04/2026

Zona Maco in Mexico City opens today! Come find us in booth EJ22 with a solo presentation of new works by Karla Ekaterine Canseco. We’ll be here until 8PM.
