kurimanzutto is proud to announce its selection for Art Basel 2022. Where the works of Gabriel Orozco and Nairy Baghramian look at forms and systems covertly disguised within the every day, Oscar Murillo and Minerva Cuevas refer to water as a starting point for their research into social blindness, and the large corporation's exploitation of the earth’s natural resources. New paintings which also feature the natural landscape by Roberto Gil de Montes explore the hidden images, forgotten or imagined stories of the exuberant everyday life that he sees in his hometown of La Peñita, a small fishing town in Nayarit, Mexico.
Produced with found materials that are staples of Mexican life, Damian Ortega presents a new body of Mask pieces, which entail a narrative and a dramaturgy. Similarly, inspired by Atzompa potters in Mexico, Mariana Castillo Deball’s columns recontextualize Mexican archaeological objects, thereby calling into question how they represent the past. Oaxaca culture also informs new works by Rirkrit Tiravinija, where explosive collages are produced from pulque and newspapers from specific moments in time and place.

Additionally, the work of Leonor Antunes exposes a research based exploration of the Modernist archive of female artists and designers from the twentieth century. Shifting from the handmade to the readymade, new sculptures by Danh Vo deepen his examination of the ready-made principle, a characteristic artistic strategy of Vo, where objects charged with symbolism, sublimated desire and sadness of individuals and entire cultures. Vo, like Antunes, explores how meaning changes with context.
To complete our presentation, a special cabinet of works by Barbara Sanchez-Kane features. Her practice investigates hegemonic masculinity, the social construction of gender and sexual identity, and the ways in which each present themselves in daily life.
