It serves artists, curators and the general public with regular exhibitions, residencies and a variety of special projects drawn from the world-renowned Jorge M. Pérez Contemporary Art Collection. A World Far Away, Nearby & Invisible explores the concept of territory as both a physical and symbolic space. The exhibition transitions from viewing territory as layered, tangible ground to understanding it as rooted in primordial, earth-bound forces, celebrating it as a space where the symbolic and the dreamlike converge. Organized into four chapters, the exhibition weaves together narratives that portray shared spaces of affection, magic and community, where legends and myths intersect; ElEspacio23.org.
