In times of darkness, gold shines again.
The New Gold Rush, an immersive group exhibition exploring the aesthetic, political, and economic implications of gold as both material and metaphor. On view from June 21 to August 2, 2025, the exhibition transforms the gallery space into a dark, enveloping environment where golden artworks emerge as luminous, provocative statements on power, wealth, and illusion.
The New Gold Rush brings together artists whose works engage materiality, systems of power, and the cultural weight of gold through painting, sculpture, installation, and mixed media. The blackened space—rich in visual and symbolic absence—echoes the voids left behind by extractive ambition, while the golden works offer paths of critique, complicity, and perhaps even hope.
Featuring artists: Francis Acea, Duane Armstrong, Elizabet Cerviño, Carlos Estévez, Brian Hunt, Jorge Lavoy, Vero Murphy, Carlos Nicanor, Verónica Romano, Macarena Salinas, Carolina Sardi, Mariana Tocornal and José A. Vincench.
