Gil Rocha
Cáscaras y Leftovers: Mapping Memories for Tomorrow

Gil Rocha’s exhibition, Cáscaras y Leftovers: Mapping Memories for Tomorrow, explores the U.S.-Mexico border as a site of transformation, complexity, and contradiction, where issues of migration, identity, and survival intersect. Grounded in rasquache aesthetics his work examines the act of crossing - physically, culturally, and psychologically - while challenging fixed notions of identity, place, and belonging. Using everyday materials such as signs, beer cans, plastic bags, and faded photographs, Rocha repurposes discarded objects to tell both personal and collective stories of struggle and endurance. These objects, imbued with the weight of border life, are transformed into symbols of survival and resilience. In Rocha’s work, the border becomes a fluid space, constantly shaped by political, social, and environmental forces, which he describes as “a dynamic place where lives, cultures, and histories converge and evolve.”  Rocha invites viewers to reconsider the border as not just a line of division, but a space of complexity and possibility where geography intersects lives, cultures, and histories.

Roberto Jackson Harrington
Almost certain superfluity

Almost certain superfluity is an exhibition of Roberto Jackson Harrington’s sculptural and collage works that exploit the idea of potential through the manipulation of found mass-manufactured objects. Working through the brand Taller de Harrington, his work reconsiders the presentations of high-end luxury retail objects released as collections. Paired with two-dimensional works that further polish and amplify their synthetic origins, Harrington leads the viewer to believe that the art somehow “works” or performs some kinetic function or illustrates a scheme of some unknown contraption. However, the arrangements do nothing, merely acting as a stimulus or catalyst. The works suggests a situation, or an action, that compels the viewer to respond and project their own ideas of how these works function.

Monoliths Among Palmettos: The Failed Florida Barge Canal

The Florida Barge Canal, a New Deal era attempt to connect the Atlantic Ocean to the Gulf, is one of the largest and most expensive failed public works projects in United States history. This massive work effort displaced entire towns, notably the freedman town of Santos. After only a year of rapid construction one-third of the canal was completed, followed by decades of environmental protests which brought the canal to an eventual cancellation. Over the last 90 years, the scattered system of canals, dams, locks, and reservoirs have developed their own eco-systems, and conservationists and environmentalists are at odds over how to repair the land. Attempts to demolish the sites have people facing tough questions; which landscape is original, more important, and what's the right thing to do? The photographs in this project explore what happens when bureaucratic momentum sidelines communities, leaving social and environmental questions unanswered almost a century later.
