Una charla entre Gala Porras-Kim y el curador José Esparza Chong Cuy sobre la carrera de la artista y los temas que aborda en su práctica. 

Esta conversación se da en el contexto de la exposición individual de Porras-Kim Espacios del futuro replican los del pasado, presentada en kurimanzutto Ciudad de México en abril de 2026.

Gala Porras-Kim realiza obra sobre contextos sociales y políticos que influencian cómo las cosas intangibles, como los sonidos, el lenguaje y la historia, han sido enmarcados a través de los campos de la lingüística, la historia y la conservación. Considera la manera en que las instituciones moldean los códigos y formas heredadas y a la inversa, cómo los objetos pueden moldear los contextos en los que se encuentran.

José Esparza Chong Cuy trabaja como director ejecutivo y curador en jefe de Storefront for Art and Architecture. Entre 2019 y 2025 también formó parte del consejo curatorial del Museo Tamayo en Ciudad de México. Antes de llegar a Storefront en 2018, fue curador asociado en el Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago y en el Museo Jumex de la Ciudad de México.

A conversation between the artist Mariana Castillo Deball and Dr. Diana Magaloni, recorded during Castillo Deball’s solo exhibition, Serpent Disappearances, at kurimanzutto New York on March 2026. 

This project traces the development and construction of her major public artwork Feathered Changes, commissioned for the plaza at the new David Geffen Galleries at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, designed by Peter Zumthor. 

Mariana Castillo Deball takes a kaleidoscopic approach to her practice, mediating between science, archaeology, and the visual arts and exploring the way in which these disciplines describe the world. Her installations, performances, sculptures, and editorial projects arise from the recombination of different languages that seek to understand the role objects play in our identity and history. Her works result from a long research process, allowing her to study the different ways in which a historical object can be read as it presents a version of reality that informs and blends into a polyphonic panorama. 

Dr. Diana Magaloni has led a versatile career over the past 35 years as museum leader, art historian, author, curator, and conservator. As Senior Deputy Director for Conservation, Curatorial, and Exhibitions at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), she leads an innovative mentoring and curatorial program as the Head Curator of the Department of Art of the Ancient Americas and serves as Director of the museum’s Conservation Center.

A conversation with Gabriel Kuri and curator Dieter Roelstraete about the recurring concerns that structure Kuri's practice: the systems that order experience, material tensions, the residues of exchange, and the mechanisms of prediction that shape our sense of the future.

Este episodio de la segunda temporada presenta la conversación entre Felipe Baeza y Susana Vargas acerca de la identidad, el cuerpo, la migración y lo queer.

Esta charla se llevó a cabo en el contexto de Sentir un entonces y un allí, la primera exposición individual de Felipe Baeza en kurimanzutto, Ciudad de México en julio de 2025. 

Felipe Baeza fusiona collage, pintura, grabado y otras técnicas, para crear obras que exploran las nociones del cuerpo y la migración. Representa figuras en pinturas de densas capas, retratándolas en diferentes estados de transformación y, en ocasiones, abstrayéndolas hasta hacerlas invisibles. Sus figuras son híbridas, “fugitivas” y “rebeldes”, y fusionan lo humano y lo no humano para crear imágenes fantásticas que evocan los reinos del mito, el espíritu y la imaginación. 

Susana Vargas es escritora, profesora y curadora. Es una académica interdisciplinaria, reconocida internacionalmente por su trabajo artístico y académico en las intersecciones de la criminología alternativa, los estudios visuales y los estudios queer, tanto en América del Norte como en América Latina. Su trabajo ha aparecido en Frieze, I-D, Vice, El País, y CBS Inside Edition, entre otros.

A conversation about Miguel Calderón's career and his role as a seminal figure in Mexico’s independent art scene. Miguel discusses his sources of inspiration, and the neuroses represented in his solo exhibition Neurotics Anonymous at kurimanzutto New York in May 2025.

Miguel Calderón often combines a dark sense of humor that is reconfigured into artworks that explore deep social and personal spaces, taking advantage of what is at hand to create films and videos. His multidisciplinary practice focuses on exploring power relations, interpersonal (often family) relationships, and the different groups that conform our society. 

Magalí Arriola is an independent curator and writer. She was the director of the Museo Tamayo in Mexico City and the KADIST Lead Curator for Latin America. Previously, she was a curator at Museo Jumex and Chief Curator at Museo de Arte Carrillo Gil, both in Mexico City. In 2019, she curated the Mexican Pavilion for the 58th Venice Biennale. 

FUTURE DIALOGUES focuses on the exchange of knowledge and ideas for the artists and creatives of tomorrow.

Marta Minujín is a pioneer in transforming passive viewers into active participants through happenings, participatory environments, and mass media art. She made her first informalist paintings in the late 1950s, embracing the international art movement that rejected traditional artistic conventions in favor of abstraction and spontaneity. Minujín’s diverse use of materials, media, and technology are examples of the boundless possibilities she finds in art, a practice always rooted in experimentation.

Our guest, Darsie Alexander was the curator of the influential solo exhibition Marta Minujín: Arte! Arte! Arte! at the Jewish Museum in 2023, where she is the Senior Deputy Director and Susan and Elihu (ELA-h-U) Rose Chief Curator since 2018. Previously, she also served as Executive Director of the Katonah Museum of Art, Chief Curator at the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis; Senior Curator at the Baltimore Museum of Art and Assistant Curator at Museum of Modern Art, New York.

A conversation about how their work responds to art, writing and popular culture at large.

Our guest, Mónica de la Torre is the author of six books of poetry. Her most recent publication, Repetition Nineteen, centers on experimental translation. She has published several books in Mexico, including Taller de Taquimecanografía, written in conjunction with the eponymous artists' collective she co-founded. She writes about art, and has translated works primarily from Spanish to English. She teaches at Brooklyn College.

Daniel Guzmán is a voracious reader and incurable music lover. He digests, absorbs and recombines musical and literary references at his own discretion. His work is marked by an almost autobiographical sincerity. Comics and cartoons, song lyrics, Pre-Hispanic iconography and sensational press clippings –residues of the artist’s daily life in Mexico City and, more recently, in Guadalajara– combine and reconfigure as part of his visual vocabulary.
