CURRO

About the Gallery
Established at the end of 2008 as Curro & Poncho - later relaunched as CURRO in 2013 - in Guadalajara, CURRO has become the longest running contemporary art gallery in a city burdened by its peripheric relationship towards the country’s capital. In an effort to expand beyond the country’s centralized gallery ecosystem, CURRO’s program aspires to articulate dialogues between diverse practices and artists whose own local interests engage a global audience. The program includes year-round in-house and institutional exhibitions, international art fairs, private and public art projects, and a variety of publications.

About the presentation
CURRO presents new works by Melanie McLain and Francisco Ugarte that trace their personal interactions with the world around them through body and mind. McLain’s sculptures are built to her specific proportions, making them an extension of her body and subjective experience of reality. If we are defined by our experience of space, McLain is interested in how that experience is designed and for whom. Ugarte’s large-scale works render abstractions of his mental processes and methods of organizing ideas on paper. This series of “graphic notes” reflects on the subconscious impulses underlying his own artistic production.
