About “Between the Current and the Echo”
Of Latin American heritage, Z’otz* Collective, a multidisciplinary trio composed of Nahúm Flores, Erik Jerezano, and Ilyana Martínez, merges drawing, painting, ceramics, and animation to create playful, storytelling-driven works. Their art features bold lines, surreal imagery, and hybrid creatures inspired by mythologies, fables, and Pre-Hispanic art forms. Since 2004, the Collective has developed a unique communal process, passing works between members to build layered, evolving compositions.
This exhibition foregrounds Z’otz* Collective’s commitment to co-creation, rejecting the notion of the solitary artist in favour of a collaborative, ever-evolving process rooted in spontaneity and exchange.
About “All Aboard!”
Hop aboard for an artistic adventure across time and place!
From horse-drawn carriages to camper vans, artists have traveled far and wide, gathering the experiences that fuel their creativity. This collections-based exhibition traces their journeys, from 19th-century Europe to 20th-century Canada to 21st-century Tibet, revealing how diverse landscapes and encounters continue to inspire artists and challenge our perceptions of the world.
