The flexibility built into kurimanzutto’s structure afforded them many collaborative opportunities: they traveled abroad and hosted international artists and curators in Mexico City to develop various projects. They sought to foment conversations between the international and the local, establishing an exchange of ideas that could transcend national borders. This critical and creative dialog has remained an integral part of their working process. 

In the early years, most of the artists participated in almost all of the gallery’s exhibitions. While each artist developed an individual practice, they also fed of each other’s work and the participatory dynamic of the gallery. This way of relating gave the artists a sense of belonging and greatly shaped the ethos of kurimanzutto. In the brief span of four years, the gallery carried out more than 12 different projects in a variety of locations including a bumper car park at a local fair, a supermarket parking lot, Mónica and José’s apartment, Los Manantiales restaurant in Xochimilco and the shipping container of a semi truck, among many others.

kurimanzutto opened a project space at 22 East 65th Street, New York City on May 2018. The opening of this project space in New York marks an essential development for the gallery's artists as a meeting point for their ideas. New York has always been close to kurimanzutto since the nineties when the founders were approached by Gabriel Orozco with the idea to open a gallery in Mexico City. However, New York remained an important part of the conversations they engaged with through the years. With this new project kurimanzutto seeks to establish even stronger connections to artists, institutions, and art professionals who have accompanied them across their evolution. It is a way to maintain and confirm their commitment to the development of the artistic current that lives and breathes in the city.
 
kurimanzutto in New York represents an extension of the original gallery in Mexico City: this reaffirms its mission to create new spaces and situations that will transmit the gallery’s spirit, where the artist is central to its existence. The project space in New York will act as a catalyst for a broad international program across North America.
 
The project space’s programming reflects the gallery’s commitment to platforming exhibiting opportunities for its artists. The placement of New York also allows the artist’s projects to exceed the potential of kurimanzutto's physical space, reaching outwards and engaging with alternative sites across the city. This follows the lineage of the gallery and its history of responding to the urban landscapes it occupies. The physical presence of kurimanzutto in New York will both invite and enable this type of happening.
