CRITIC’S PICK: Held Traces: Gabriel Choto & Paula Cortazar

Sun., May 3 - Sun., Jun. 7
Held Traces: Gabriel Choto & Paula Cortazar
Alday Hunken Gallery

‘Held Traces’ marks the beginning of a collaboration between Alday Hunken and Memento, the gallery right next door on Somerset Terrace. The exhibition features the delicate, intimate portraits of Zimbabwe-born Gabriel Choto, and the stonework of Mexican sculptor Paula Cortazar, who develops a language of form grounded in touch, rhythm, and physical memory. The galleries claim ‘Held Traces’ is “centered on the proposition that these works do not depict what is there; they hold what has passed through.” — Kevin C. Madigan
