100 YEARS OF SURREALISM: CELEBRATING A DIFFERENT WAY TO LOOK AT LIFE
Playing with closed eyes, 100 years of surrealism is an exhibition at RGR Gallery that invites visitors to review through a non-historicist approach of the movement. Curated by Gabriela Rangel and guest curator Verónica Rossi.
Members of the surrealist founding group, some of whom were refugees in Mexico as well as in the Southern Cone, sought to renew the ruins of culture after the political and economic catastrophe caused by the Great European War and the terrible demographic consequences left by the Spanish flu, as well as the appearance of fascism. These conditions seem to resonate like alarms in the present. Recovering the exquisite corpse as a toolbox for playful creation and surreal invention is particularly productive when thinking of the contemporary debate on Artificial Intelligence (AI). Today, artificial intelligence shows transmuted realities and creates an imaginary that exacerbates the idea of the world, as imagined by surrealism, altering processes, and changing perception and the human experience.
This group exhibition, in addition to recovering the old surrealist practice of the exquisite corpse, views archives as a disease without aspiration for a cure and art as a space for dreaming, waking, and acting. Likewise, it arouses questions in a non-literal way about the conjunction between neural networks, computer games, and linguistic models present in AI to acquire a productive dimension when contrasting them with the aspiration to create a new reality unfolded by the need to explore the matter of dreams and the human psyche. Do machines play just like humans? Can they feel or dream like they do in science fiction? Or in the words of ChatGPT artificial intelligence creator Sam Altman, are [these machines] a tool or a creature?

THE BEAUTY OF ERROR. THE EXHIBITION OF DAVID JARRIN (DAVARTIS)
The NY spring season has concluded with the major auctions of Contemporary and Modern art. While the sales have not been a disaster, most lots have sold either below or close to the low estimate, with some last-minute withdrawals. One year ago, the May sales already marked a clear recalibration of prices. Over the past 12 months, the market has continued its slowdown, and this week's sales have confirmed the trend. It is not a brusque fall or a crash, but a slow-motion downward spiral in prices, with very few but exciting surprises.
