Each portrait is labeled not with a name but with a role in Venezuelan political life: the dictator, the masked police officer, the ideological tourist, the one from Hollywood. Apóstol made the 90-photograph series in Caracas in 2017, during a period of violent government repression, and chooses a selection for each place it is shown. The Venezuelan artist, born in 1969, lives in Madrid. Organized by senior curator José Luis Blondet.

Commissioned through the first Eric and Wendy Schmidt Environment and Art Prize, the project continues the quipus of encounters, collective actions Vicuña has staged since the 1960s; quipu is the Quechua word for knot. Local artists, young people, scientists and Indigenous water defenders in both places take part, and it ends in a ritual quipu assembly led by Vicuña in Los Angeles. Organized by José Luis Blondet.

Charrière debuts a new commission alongside recent pieces, among them Midnight Zone, a 4K video with a 3D ambisonic soundscape.
