The husband and wife behind Mexico City’s Kurimanzutto gallery have a comprehensive roster of truly international artists who have risen to prominence over the last 20 years, balancing celebrity with a brand of uncompromising conceptualism. This year the gallery paired Rirkrit Tiravanija’s text works printed on Mexican newspapers with Graft (2023), Allora & Calzadilla’s floor installation of plastic baobab tree flowers: a typically political and knottily cerebral pairing. Other shows included solos by Haegue Yang and Anri Sala – no slouches in producing chewy, opaque offerings. Also operating in New York, Kuri and Manzutto have hosted a group exhibition there that was curated by Gabriel Orozco and which, perhaps provocatively given current US politics, responded to Albert Einstein’s 1949 essay ‘Why Socialism?’, employing the labour of artists including Forensic Architecture and Zoe Leonard; meanwhile, at the same address, Soundwalk Collective and Patti Smith produced the collaborative show CORRESPONDENCES from their ongoing collaboration of the same name, having created ‘sonic memories’ of various natural environments.
