Kurimanzutto's 2023 Exhibitions Blend Political Conceptualism with International Artists

José Kuri and Mónica Manzutto's Mexico City gallery Kurimanzutto presented several exhibitions in 2023 that showcased their roster's conceptual rigor. The year featured a pairing of Rirkrit Tiravanija's text works printed on Mexican newspapers with Allora & Calzadilla's floor installation Graft (2023), composed of plastic baobab tree flowers. Solo exhibitions by Haegue Yang and Anri Sala offered additional complex works. In New York, the gallery hosted a group exhibition curated by Gabriel Orozco that responded to Albert Einstein's 1949 essay 'Why Socialism?', featuring contributions from Forensic Architecture and Zoe Leonard. Simultaneously at the same New York address, Soundwalk Collective and Patti Smith presented CORRESPONDENCES, a collaborative show creating 'sonic memories' of natural environments. The gallery, founded by the husband-and-wife team, has built an international reputation over two decades by balancing celebrity artists with uncompromising conceptual approaches.
