RELATIONAL SYNCHRONICITIES AT EL APARTAMENTO
The Madrid headquarters of El Apartamento presents Lo que es igual, no es ventaja Vol.2 (What is equal is not an advantage) in its project room, a group exhibition by REGULARNORMAL, a project led by Danny Báez. As the exhibition’s curator, Báez seeks to connect the perspectives of eight artists living and working in New York, delving into human relationships in a globalized world.
The selected group of emerging young artists includes four Dominicans and one Puerto Rican, whose unique perspectives intertwine with those of three other artists from South Korea, Germany, and the United States. The works of Bony Ramírez, Aria Almanzar, Pedro Troncoso, and Darío Oleaga come together with those of Annette Hur, Melissa Joseph, and Hell Gette, shaping a journey through different sensibilities with a shared underlying theme.
This exhibition, rooted in the concept of coincidence in space and time, invites viewers to reflect on contemporary dynamics. Just as in the project’s origins, themes such as relocation, friendship, artistic scenes, creative circuits, conversation, and cultural frameworks take on special significance. These elements, along with the interconnectivity among the artists, offer a glimpse into the varied lines of a postmodern artistic landscape.
Lo que es igual, no es ventaja Vol.2 also serves as a reference point for artistic proposals currently emerging in New York. Through the lens of the participating artists, the exhibition takes on a nuanced vision of community and diaspora. Altogether, it maps out an artistic and social landscape—or rather, one of the many possible cartographies that trace a specific perspective on relational and creative spaces.
Lo que es igual, no es ventaja Vol.2 is open for viewing until May 1 at the project room of El Apartamento, Puebla 4, Madrid, Spain.

Fernando Pradilla presents Depresión Tropical (Tropical Depression), Gonzalo Fuenmayor’s (Barranquilla, Colombia, 1977) third solo exhibition at the gallery. The show brings together a new series of charcoal drawings created specifically for its Madrid headquarters. In this latest body of work—caught between references to nature and the artificial, between chaos and tranquility—the artist offers a vision in which climate becomes a metaphorical instrument for personal and cultural transformation, as well as a certain historiography.

The Albarrán Bourdais gallery, at its Madrid venue, is hosting the exhibition En movimiento, by Julio Le Parc (Mendoza, Argentina, 1928). With a celebratory tone, as this is the first solo exhibition dedicated to the Argentine artist in Spain in 30 years, the show explores a fundamental part of the work of this master of kinetic and op-art and does so with a selection of several pieces that illustrate key periods. Without being a retrospective, there is something of that essence in the way the tour is presented, which proposes, through connected groups, an analysis of the connection between the past and the present.

Amid the centenary of Surrealism, or at least from what is officially understood as its inception with the publication of The First Surrealist Manifesto by André Breton in 1924, it is truly significant to access an exhibition as profound as 1924: Other Surrealisms, presented by the MAPFRE Foundation in Madrid, which will later tour other locations. This exhibition is important for the centrifugal perspectives it presents, emphasizing the expansion of the main official—or officialism—ideas beyond Breton's boundaries and granting maximum importance to Latin America in the acceptance, production, and collaboration within the movement.
