Vultures & Fireflies
This November, the artist Alejandro Galván will commence a chronicle of Mexico, painted from the perspective of one of the largest working class suburbs in Mexico State. The work, titled Vultures & Fireflies, will fill the entire house Marres and will see its grand opening on March 15, 2025. In the months prior, there will be a series of sneak previews and events surrounding the work.
Artist talk
To start, we are giving you the special opportunity to meet the artist and learn about his artistic process during an artist talk on Friday, December 13. Alejandro will be presenting himself and there will be an opportunity to personally ask him questions about his work. This is also a special moment to witness the construction of the exhibition from the very beginning, so you can come back to see how it progresses at one of the later sneak previews. These will happen every Saturday starting February 1st.
RSVP here for the artist talk and keep an eye on our website and socials for the full program surrounding Vultures & Fireflies! You can attend the artist talk completely free of charge, but registration through RSVP is greatly appreciated.
