Pablo Vindel’s solo exhibition, en la noche prevalece un corazón lleno (“in the night, a heart full prevails”), dissolves the boundaries between object and self, inviting an exploration of the fluidity of existence. Grounded in his dual inquiry into fiber and material studies as well as in poetry, the exhibition presents fifteen new works, including photography, embroidery, reimagined heirlooms, text, jewelry, blown glass, wicker, and blooms. Together, these works constellate essential questions: What does it mean to touch, to inhabit, to fragment, and to heal? In other words, can biologically present objects assemble and disperse into other incipient bodies? Can the dead return via rose to be present-tense worn/red/read?

That a meticulously pulled-apart self can be worn outside rather than under the skin as an alternate—an artist’s position as well as the current human condition—becomes a beautifully realized point throughout the completed show. *
