Vivian Suter's "Bajo el mango" Opens at Travesía Cuatro Madrid with GAGA CDMX

exhibition · 2026-09-14

Travesía Cuatro Madrid is presenting "Bajo el mango," a solo exhibition by Vivian Suter, organized in collaboration with GAGA CDMX. The show draws its title and conceptual framework from the layered life beneath a mango tree, as described in the exhibition text: a rotting mango, fruits turning black and bursting with flies, ants, and bees in a "horrible and sweet swarm of life"; deeper roots drinking secret waters; pits that germinate and those that do not, decomposing to return to the earth what ancient roots took; the dead from whom dreams draw nourishment; mineral gods; and the invisible and unspeakable that sometimes emanate to the surface like a breath. The text explicitly parallels these geological strata with Suter's paintings, which are understood as pictorial layers—surfaces built through accumulation. The exhibition is on view at Travesía Cuatro Madrid. No dates or additional details were provided in the source material.
