Frágil

Frágil is a group exhibition that brings together artists from Argentina, Chile, Georgia, India, and various regions of Mexico—Mexico City, Mérida, Morelia, Guadalajara, and Querétaro—to reflect on the body as a living experience, a sensitive archive, and a reminder of our finite condition.

The exhibition approaches fragility not as a flaw, but as an inevitable quality of being alive. Through painting, sculpture, photography, video, textile, installation, and edible works, the pieces enter into dialogue around pain, transformation, memory, identity, and the processes of healing that traverse both the physical body and the social body.

Frágil proposes a space where the body appears as a territory of inscription: a place where visible and invisible wounds reside, where emotional tensions, relationships with the environment, with others, and with the passage of time are held. Frágil does not propose an ideal or stable body. It proposes an entity that feels, remembers, tenses, and breaks— a being that carries within its matter what cannot be defined by words alone.

Embracing the idea that within our fragility lies the possibility of moving differently through the amorphous and chaotic experience of being alive.
