MATERIAL Art Fair

We are pleased to announce our first participation in the 11th edition of Feria MATERIAL 2025, taking place from 6 – 9 February in Mexico City, at booth A262. For this occasion, we are presenting a selection of recent works by Iván Argote, Adrien Vescovi, and Marco A. Castillo.

These pieces explore the possibilities of materials such as silk, bronze, wood, and recycled textiles, establishing a dialogue between tradition and modernity and offering a fresh and engaging take.

Adrien Vescovi will present three newly–created large- scale textile pieces made with naturally–dyed fabrics. These works carry the stories and memories of their materials, transforming them into a visual archive that connects past and present.

Among the standout pieces is “Breathings: Dignidad y Respeto” (2024) by Iván Argote, a silk painting that combines text with delicate botanical imagery, result- ing in visual and conceptual tension that draws from themes of resilience.

The booth also features his sculpture “Antípodo”, a bronze work that evokes references to pre-Columbian art. The notion of the “other” has been a central theme in Argote’s practice, and these works serve as a reaction to the Eurocentric worldview.

Finally, we will showcase works by Marco A. Castillo, such as the wooden sculpture “Wakamba 22” (2025), a bass relief in which Castillo uses evokes elements from Latin American design and architecture of the 1960s and 1970s through layered compositions of sharp lines and perfectly-geometric designs.
