To celebrate Alejandro Cartagena’s newly opened mid-career survey exhibition, “Alejandro Cartagena: Ground Rules,” at SFMOMA (curated by Shana Lopes), the gallery is pleased to announce the release of a new photograph from Cartagena’s “Carpoolers” project. This image, from the related “Urban Transport” series, features two girls lying in the back of a flatbed truck. Notably, it is the only image from the project to feature women or girls, and it offers a moving and tender portrait of rest and respite.

Congratulations to , whose newest work, titled “This Land, Shared Sky,” is a collaboration with Chicago-based sculptor , and will be on permanent display in the main lobby at the Obama Presidential Center, set to open in 2026.

“The longer you linger—and the sheer volume of detail relayed in each metalpoint drawing almost demands that you do—the more you find yourself poised in an uncanny valley between designer domesticity and distorted reality: Martha Stewart, say, by way of David Lynch. Each of the scenes is unsettling in its own way, with fractured images, shifting perspectives, raking light sources, objects that appear to float or melt, overturned vessels, and a sense of recent—or impending—calamity.”

A special thanks to for the excellent and evocative review of ’s solo exhibition “Between Worlds” for . Read it in full via the 🔗 in our bio.
