Voloshyn Gallery is pleased to present Who’s there, old question, who’s here, a group exhibition curated by Harold Mendez.
The exhibition includes works by Nikita Kadan, Ronny Quevedo, José de Jesús Rodriguez, and Rodrigo Valenzuela, which examine how evolving narratives and boundaries intersect with questions of inheritance, embodiment, and trace. The exhibition proposes new perspectives while forming a network of philosophical and poetic inquiries.
Foregrounding questions of presence and address, Who’s there, old question, who’s here shifts attention from inherited narratives toward lived experience. From Valenzuela’s charged photographic encounters to Rodríguez’s layered vignettes, Kadan’s reimagined symbols of labor and loss, and Quevedo’s mappings of movement and memory across the Americas, the exhibition proposes new ways of seeing identity as something continuously negotiated, experienced, and re-formed. Together, the works emphasize the immediacy of the present while remaining attentive to what persists and resists resolution.
Through this group exhibition Mendez explores the relationship between Europe and Latin America due to exile, war and migration, citing he was “curious how these recurring issues and their consequences are being dealt with now, particularly through a contemporary, diasporic perspective.”
