Opening Night at the Museum of Modern Art, Guatemala

On April 5th, our three-person exhibition "Máscaras, Rumores y Otros Vuelos" opened to great fanfare at the Museo Nacional de Arte Moderno in Guatemala City.  The days leading up to it had been intense with a flurry of media requests, including two live appearances on National TV morning shows and additional taped segments for the evening news hour, as well as a live radio interview on Radio Infinita's "Con Criterio" program and feature articles on all of the country's dailies.

Before the public arrived at the museum, Mario, Igal and I took a moment to reflect upon and enjoy just how beautifully installed the work was and how much this exhibition meant to our family.  Than night we had over seven hundred people visit the exhibition.  It truly was a milestone in our shared tradition of artistic practice.

Every family has traditions that define it. In the case of my own, we love books, long walks and photographic machines. When I was ten, my father Mario gave me my first camera and very thoroughly initiated me in the art and practice of photography. My younger brother Igal was next.

It is with deep emotion and great excitement that Mario, Igal and myself are now set to take over the Contemporary Art wing of the Museum of Modern Art in Guatemala with a three-person show, which opens on April 5th. The exhibition is titled "Máscaras, Rumores y Otros Vuelos" (Masks, Rumors and Other Flights).

Todas las familias cuentan con tradiciones propias que las definen. En nuestro caso, amamos buenas lecturas, largas caminatas y máquinas fotográficas. A la edad de diez años, Mario mi padre, me entregó mi primera cámara y con gran esmero me inició en el arte y práctica de la fotografía.  Luego siguió mi hermano menor Igal.

Es con gran emoción que Mario, Igal y yo nos preparamos para inaugurar una muestra conjunta en el Museo de Arte Moderno en Guatemala. La misma se titula "Máscaras, Rumores y Otros Vuelos" e inaugura el 5 de abril. Esperamos nos puedan acompañar esa noche.

Upcoming exhibition: Museum of Modern Art, Guatemala

In April 2018, the Museum of Modern Art in Guatemala will host the exhibition "Máscaras, rumores y otros vuelos" (Masks, Rumors and Other Flights), which brings together recent works by myself, my younger brother Igal and our father Mario.  In the past decade, the three of us have collaborated on joint books and exhibitions, including Re-trato de familia and Tarzán López. 

The exhibition will feature works from my series "The Street Becomes";  Igal is represented by works from "El Color Prohibido" (The Forbidden Color); and Mario by a series of color abstractions inspired by Guatemalan flora and fauna.

Stay tuned for updates in the coming months!
