Add to calendar

Event detailsFriday, May 2, 20256:30 pm Dia Chelsea537 West 22nd StreetNew York, New York Free. Spaces are limited; register here. Dia is proud to host artist Delcy Morelos and curators Alexis Lowry and Zuna Maza for a conversation around the recently published Delcy Morelos, the companion volume to the artist’s recent exhibition at Dia Chelsea, Delcy Morelos: El abrazo (The Embrace), and the first book published about her work in the United States. For more than a decade, Morelos has worked primarily with earth, creating immersive environments of geometrically abstract forms. Drawing on Indigenous cosmologies, her work explores the sustaining power of mud in its many forms, as a source of life and sustenance. This bilingual monograph approaches Morelos’s two soil-based installations, Cielo terrenal (2023) and El abrazo (2023), to explore the artist’s role in the history of Land art. The texts consider the natural materials used in her Dia commission and their sensory, spatial, and phenomenological impact. The volume also features a selection of stories sourced from Indigenous Colombian communities—Bará, Matapí, Tanimuca, M+n+ca, Uitoto N+pode, and Yucuna Kamejeyá—that underscore Morelos’s acute understanding of the sacred relationship between land and its inhabitants. Alexis Lowry is a curatorial director at Hauser & Wirth, New York. Formerly a curator at Dia, she organized Delcy Morelos: El abrazo. She has also served as curator of Brown University’s David Winton Bell Gallery in Providence, Rhode Island, and a project manager for Creative Time in New York. She is on the board of directors of the Triple Aught Foundation and the Subcommittee on Public Art at Brown University. Zuna Maza is the assistant curator at El Museo del Barrio, New York. She has held curatorial roles and fellowships at Dia Art Foundation, where she curated Delcy Morelos: El abrazo, as well as at the Museum of Modern Art and the Studio Museum in Harlem, all in New York. She received her MA from Hunter College in New York. Delcy Morelos was born in Tierralta, Colombia, in 1967. Morelos’s practice encompasses painting, installation, and sculpture. Over the last decade the artist has focused on large-scale site-specific installations, using soil, clay, natural fibers, and other organic materials. Morelos graduated from the Escuela de Bellas Artes de Cartagena, Colombia, in 1991. Recent solo presentations include those at NC-arte, Bogotá (2018); Röda Sten Konsthall, Gothenburg, Sweden (2018); Galería Santa Fe, Bogotá (2019); Southern Alberta Art Gallery, Lethbridge, Canada (2019); and Museo de Arte Moderno de Buenos Aires (2022). Recent group shows include Dum Som Jag (One as Another), Havremagasinet, Boden, Sweden (2016), and Sami Dáiddaguovddáš, Karasjok, Norway (2017); 45 Salón Nacional de Artistas: el revés de la trama (45th National Artists’ Salon: The Reverse of the Plot), Bogotá (2019); 59th Venice Biennale: The Milk of Dreams (2022); and the 5th Aichi Triennale: STILL ALIVE (2022). Her work is included in the collections of Banco de la República (Biblioteca Luis Ángel Arango); Fundación Gilberto Alzate Avendaño; Museo de Arte Moderno de Cartagena; and Museo de Arte Moderno de Bogotá. She lives in Bogotá.
