Chaile
Time, Times, and Half a Time — BARRO NEW YORK
31.05.2023 In the realm of fleeting temporality, where different possibilities of the future intertwine and present themselves as specters, the work of Gabriel Chaile unfolds as parallel existences, untraveled paths converging towards the profound. We are excited to present his first solo show at BARRO New York.
Pombo
Artisanal Conceptualism: Starting Point — BARRO NEW YORK
30.03.2023 The three bodies of works (Dibujos de San Pablo [The São Paulo Drawings] 1982, four works from the early 90s, and five recent drawings) presented at BARRO New York contemplate the long path of MARCELO POMBO’s aesthetics from his Starting Point until today. The conceptual and the artisanal in the limit of the baroque and the conservatively aberrant, deconstructs the antinomies of the high culture and the popular, fine arts and crafts, the luxurious and the cheap, nature and culture. Until May 21st

Faivovich & Goldberg
¡Saxa loquuntur!
02.12.2022 Having moved on from the administrative aesthetic and their flirtation with the bureaucracy of classification and organization of meteorite materials, ¡Saxa loquuntur! finds Faivovich & Goldberg taking the concept of the archive to an esoterically suggestive extreme.
Group Show

02.11.2022 Futurity, the inaugural exhibition featuring works by Gabriel Chaile, Matías Duville, Marcelo Pombo, Alejandra Seeber, Amalia Ulman and Agustina Woodgate at its new gallery space in New York City. BARRO NEW YORK 25 Peck Slip New York, NY, 10038. Through December 16, 2022.
Aráoz
Abolición futura
17.09.2022 Once again, Aráoz puts into operation his omnivorous system of processing and producing images and objects. As Alejo Ponce de León states in the curatorial text: “It comes as no surprise to see in Future Abolition a gallery organized to display fetishes, interests and yearnings: worldly objects that make the artist the subject as they exercise their control over him. And it is also wholly in keeping to see Aráoz’s impulse to archive and preserve, through self-reference, formal landmarks from his career (given that sculpture is a medium very much suited to these resuscitations and Aráoz is one of the best producers of sculptural phenomena in the country).”
Lionti
Intarsia, Jacquard y mi Ami Capital
25.06.2022 Lucrecia Lionti presents her first solo exhibition at Barro, Intarsia, Jacquard y mi Ami Capital, in which she condenses and unfolds a horizon of references and interests that she has been cultivating for years. Her work, attentive to the material conditions of contemporary art, to the discourses and context that surround it, but also to the affective universe of knowledge, techniques and minor formulas, contains intimate inflections and public commentaries on art, politics and economics.

Mondongo
Conejos blancos
04.11.2021 It now seems evident that the reality of the psyche is the one reality—the only reality. Long ago, a Zen monk put it this way: This floating world is but a phantasm. It is momentary smoke.Sir Arthur Eddington, the astrophysicist, after devoting his life to the investigation of so-called outer reality, summed up his findings in approximately these words: Something out there—we don’t know what—is doing something we don’t know what.» By Sallie Nichols. Jung and Tarot
Legón
Árboles profundamente artificiales
21.08.2021 Interpreting them consecutively, the individual exhibitions from Martín Legón have been unfolding visual analytical essays for more than fifteen years. In this respect, Árboles profundamente artificiales may be understood as a cubist installation, where its subject of study—Argentine society and its current possibilities—is broken down into different planes to deliver its many faces simultaneously.
Lolo y Lauti
Localidades agotadas
04.06.2021 Lolo y Lauti pay homage to the theater of Buenos Aires. In Localidades agotadas, their debut as artists from BARRO, they greet us donning their sparkliest finery. Florencia Vecino dances at the entrance, while inside there are stands in the style of indie theaters, including a red carpet, to pay close attention to the experiences shared by historical vedette Pochy Grey, barefoot and covered in feathers, and Kado Kostzer, who recounts the times of the legendary Di Tella Institute and revues.
