Anastasia Samoylova, Linet Sánchez, Edison Peñafiel, Gian Paolo Minelli Amanda Linares, and
Mitzi Falcón.
April 6, — May 31, 2025
Concrete Façade is a group photography exhibition where architecture becomes a lens for exploring form, memory, and politics. Featuring works by Anastasia Samoylova, Linet Sánchez, Edison Peñafiel, Gian Paolo Minelli, Amanda Linares, and Mitzi Falcón, the exhibition examines façades as both masks and mirrors and as structures that conceal deeper truths while shaping perception.Through projects like Image Cities and Floridas (Samoylova), Barrio Alto (Peñafiel), Sementerxs (Falcón), Cárcel de Caseros y Zona Sur Barrio Piedra Buena (Minelli), 00:00:00 (Sánchez), and Between Islands and Peninsulas (Linares), the artists peel back layers of history, identity, and power embedded in architecture. These works invite us to question the authenticity of the surfaces that define our surroundings, pushing us to reflect on the deeper narratives they conceal. Organized by Edison Peñafiel and accompanied by an exhibition essay by Aldeide Delgado, Concrete Facade is presented with the support of ArtSeen365 and MAD Arts.
“Both photography and architecture are mediating systems that encode social, political, and aesthetic principles through their constructed appearances. They can be seen as portals intersecting interior and exterior, private and public, real and imagined spaces.” - Aldeide Delgado, in ‘Concrete Façade, Demystifying Truth in Photography’
