This exhibition features her innovative blend of textiles and geometric abstraction, inviting viewers to explore themes of cultural history and the human experience. Katrin Aason Buchers's work challenges conventional perceptions, encouraging fresh interpretations with each piece, making it a must-see event for art enthusiasts. El ojo desarmado, Museum of Contemporary Art and Design, San José. The exhibition "El ojo desarmado" in Sala 1 of the Museum of Contemporary Art and Design challenges deeply ingrained patriarchal structures by stripping away the filters imposed by societal norms. Through works by artists like Cristina Lucas and Núria Güell, the exhibition reveals how patriarchy infiltrates religion, morality, language, and capitalism. It shifts the narrative from victims to perpetrators, exposing the mechanisms that normalize violence and oppression. Curated by Nerea Ubieto, this powerful showcase invites us to reexamine masculinity and see the world with new, untainted perspectives. Running until October 19, 2024, it is a call to dismantle harmful systems of thought. This show contributes to the museum's showcase of top contemporary art this summer. Artists: Cristina Lucas, Valeria Andrade, Olalla G. Valdericeda, Núria Güell, Regina José Galindo, David Martín, Marta Pujades, Arantxa Boyero y Shoja Azari Curator: Nerea Ubieto Javier Calvo, Estates, deCERCA, San José.

Don't forget to visit deCERCA at their other location at Sendero Gallery in Nosara. What's on in Costa Rica, w/c 19 August 2024.
