Gallery

From December 4 to 8, 2024, CRUDO (Rosario – Buenos Aires, Argentina) is participating in PINTA Miami in the NEXT section, curated by Giuliana Vidarte, sharing a booth with Judas Galería (Valparaíso, Chile). The fair takes place at The Hangar, 3385 Pan American Drive, Coconut Grove, Miami.

In this joint space, CRUDO presents works by Yuyo Gardiol and Nicole Mazza, alongside Judas artists such as Pablo Lincura and Natalia Montoya.

The proposal brings together practices that, through different materialities, explore identity, the body, and the environment.

Yuyo Gardiol presents the series Paisaje Cercano, an exploration of the relationship between skin and environment. Taken with a cellphone camera at very close range, his photographs capture the epidermis tinted by the light of its surroundings. The extreme proximity erases references, generating abstract color planes that function as pictorial atmospheres. Printed on satin—a bright and soft fabric—and grouped in sets, the images construct chromatic narratives where the intimate becomes landscape. The work suggests that we are so permeable to our context that even the skin can change color.

Nicole Mazza, on the other hand, incorporates embroidery as a critical medium. She learned the technique from her maternal grandmother and turns it into a device for reflection on female identity and social stereotypes. Her embroidered figures, distorted or uncomfortable, allude to the fragmentation of the female body and the tensions between external perception and internal reality. By contrasting the delicacy of embroidery with images loaded with eroticism, violence, or irony, Mazza subverts a craft historically associated with the decorative and domestic, transforming it into a language of resistance.

The presence of Pablo Lincura and Natalia Montoya, artists from Judas Galería, enriches the booth with perspectives from Chile that engage in dialogue with Argentine production. The exchange between CRUDO and Judas strengthens Latin American connections in an international context, reinforcing NEXT’s mission as a platform for visibility of experimental and emerging projects.
