Flag for Demagogues—Alfredo Travieso
Ongoing on the building exterior
Reception on June 10, 6—9 pm

In this foray into public sculpture, color and form converge on a shared visual plane. The work belongs to an ongoing series in which Travieso explores the notion of “spatial paintings,” compositions that extend the logic of abstract geometric painting into three-dimensional space. Through the interplay of light, air, and color, these sculptures define presence and absence at once, emphasizing how emptiness can carry as much weight as matter itself.

In Flag for Demagogues, the artist invokes the Venezuelan flag as a fractured emblem, a banner of vanished promises and exhausted ideals. Its warped geometry and cartoonish exaggeration suggest both parody and lament, transforming national symbolism into a poetic device for disillusionment. Travieso twists politics and abstraction into a single contemplative structure, where formal restraint meets emotional gravity, a meditation on failure, longing, and the fragile hope embedded in collective symbols.

Congratulations to DV Co-founding Director Frances Trombly on opening her solo show today at Shoshana Wayne Gallery in L.A.

Opens today May 30, 2026 from 4—6 pm. On view through July 18.

A Distant Blue by Marisabela Tellería, curated by Sophie Bonet at Fundacion Pablo Atchugarry Miami.

The exhibition unfolds through questions of distance, memory, and what it means to remain connected to a place that cannot be easily returned to. In this exhibition, Marisa Tellería moves across sky, map, and material, tracing how identity is shaped not only by geography, but by what is carried—through memory, through the body, and over time.

Marisabela Tellería (b. Nicaragua) is a Nicaraguan- born multidisciplinary artist based in Miami whose practice spans sculpture, painting, and installation. Through a minimalist and contemplative approach, her work explores perception, memory, displacement, and belonging. Tellería has exhibited internationally at institutions including the Brooklyn Museum, El Museo del Barrio, and Pérez Art Museum Miami, and her work is held in major public collections such as PAMM and the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden. Tellería is a resident at Dimensions Variable.

Sophie Bonet (b. 1986) is a South Florida-based curator whose practice is informed by social and cultural anthropology. She currently serves as Chief Curator of The Frank C. Ortis Gallery and has organized exhibitions at institutions including CAMH, MACBA, and MOCA North Miami.
