饾槍饾槶饾槮饾槯饾槩饾槸饾樀饾槮 is a solo exhibition of multimedia works by the notorious Mexican artist, author, and filmmaker Leopoldo Go没t. Reflecting a fierce maximalism, 饾槍饾槶饾槮饾槯饾槩饾槸饾樀饾槮 spans textile, bronze sculpture, painting, video, and sound. The exhibition, in its many degrees, explores the artist鈥檚 obsession with contradictions, dreams, and the ephemeral. International in its production and deeply referential to the artist鈥檚 decades-long career, 饾槍饾槶饾槮饾槯饾槩饾槸饾樀饾槮 presents image-making as a migratory tale.
The show is set to a deeply personal ambient soundtrack, Telar Adentro (composed by Oriana Gidi & Leopoldo Go没t), which will be released on limited edition vinyl records. Preorder link in bio.
In addition to the exhibition, a career retrospective book and an international documentary further commemorate Go没t鈥檚 loud return to the contemporary art world after more than a decade.
