Opening Reception: Habitar una Nube-an exhibition by Adrián Sosa
In Habitar una Nube, Sosa draws from the rural landscapes and labor histories of Tucumán, Argentina, where smoke, dust, and suspended matter shape everyday life. Through video, sculptural elements, and performative action, the exhibition is grounded in material presence and lived experience, approaching labor as a bodily condition rather than a symbolic subject.
The works unfold through gesture, repetition, and duration, creating an atmosphere of density and suspension. The cloud functions not as metaphor, but as environment—something inhabited, breathed, and endured. Viewers are invited into a phenomenological encounter with territory, memory, and the body as they register through time and material.
Thursday, January 29 | 6:00–9:00 PM

Free and open to the public.
Adrian Sosa: Habitar una Nube (To Inhabit a Cloud) is curated by Sophie Bonet, Chief Curator, and presented by The Frank C. Ortis Gallery in partnership with Ceibo Gallery in collaboration with Pabellón 4 Arte Contemporáneo and Fulana Galería.
Adrián Sosa (ARG, 1994) was born in Monteros, Tucumán, Argentina, where he lives and works. He holds a degree in Visual Arts from the Universidad Nacional de Tucumán and has completed advanced studies in cultural management and artist programs at Universidad Torcuato Di Tella. His practice, developed since 2017, has received numerous awards and recognitions, including the Premio Braque (2023), which supported a residency at the Cité Internationale des Arts in Paris.
Sosa has presented solo exhibitions in Argentina and participated in exhibitions and fairs in Argentina, France, and Peru, including Pinta PArC Lima. His work has been featured in national salons and performance festivals, and is held in public and private collections in Argentina and Brazil. Rooted in family history and rural labor traditions, his work engages territory, materiality, and embodied memory as forms of lived knowledge.
