Paloma Izquierdocarrier

A site-specific installation reviving New York’s pneumatic tube system, with glass canisters circulating through the gallery.

Izquierdo builds a replica of a pneumatic tube network in the gallery, drawing on the tubes that once carried mail across New York and on the improvised infrastructures she knew growing up between the US and Cuba. Glass canisters travel from one side of the room to the other.

Instead of letters, each canister holds residues of daily life, traces of habits and movements that could be pieced together. It is her first solo presentation with the gallery, with a text by curator Camila Palomino.
