The New Gold Rush

The New Gold Rush turns the gallery into a darkened environment where golden artworks operate as luminous statements on power, wealth, and illusion. The exhibition explores gold's aesthetic, political, and economic dimensions — as both material and metaphor — bringing together artists who engage materiality, systems of power, and gold's cultural significance through painting, sculpture, installation, and mixed media. The blackened space symbolizes the voids left by extractive ambition, while the golden works offer critique, complicity, and the possibility of hope. In times of darkness, gold shines again. Featured artists: Francis Acea, Duane Armstrong, Elizabet Cerviño, Carlos Estévez, Brian Hunt, Jorge Lavoy, Vero Murphy, Carlos Nicanor, Verónica Romano, Macarena Salinas, Carolina Sardi, Mariana Tocornal, and José A. Vincench.
