Interlace: Gonzalo Garcia @ Kates-Ferri Projects, New York
From Mexico City’s CAM Galería to Kates-Ferri Projects in New York, Gonzalo Garcia navigates the multifaceted intersections of identity, culture, and history through a deeply evocative lens as part of the cross-cultural collaborative exhibition, Interlace. His practice, grounded in his experience as a Mexico City-based artist, resonates with Interlace’s examination of cultural exchange and the role of place in shaping identity. Through Garcia’s work, the exhibition draws attention to the body as a site of memory, power, and transformation, weaving intimate reflections of the self into broader dialogues of collective history and cultural fusion.

Ted Pim: Loinnir @ Almine Rech, Shanghai
Ted Pim’s latest exhibition, Loinnir, is the incarnation of his relentless experiments with light and cultural symbols. Loinnir is an Irish word meaning radiance, gleam, or shimmer. It symbolizes enlightenment not only in optical or physical sense but also in the metaphysical and intangible senses. Drawing on this Irish heritage, Pim’s current practice appropriates classical motifs and Old Masters’ imagery through repetition, cropping, and radical recontextualization, transforming the familiar into the uncanny. By doing so, Pim’s works are stripped of original narratives and resist narrative closure. Loinnir becomes a reimagined and reanimated hallucinatory space.
