exhibition · 2026-05-09

Guatemalan artist José Wolff presented the exhibition 'Días Hondos' at Casa Guardabarranco in Guatemala City, running until April 22, 2026. The show, curated by Christina Chirouze Montenegro, emerged from a one-month residency in February 2026. Wolff, who studied at SCAD in Georgia and worked for MTV Latino, NBC, and Locomotion, combines digital media with oil painting. The exhibition features multi-channel video installations like 'Sin Novedad' and 'Desvanecerse,' alongside acrylic paintings and geometric projections. A sound composition by Karin Azurdia accompanies the final piece. The house, designed by architect Álvaro Véliz for owners Daniela Ruiz and Rodrigo Asturias, overlooks a ravine in Guatemala City. Wolff's work critiques information saturation and geopolitical violence, offering a space for sensory reset.
