“LABYRINTH OF THREAD”. Main Gallery
“CAUDAL”. Project Room
June 6, — Ausgut 30, 2025Dot Fiftyone Gallery is pleased to present two concurrent exhibitions: Labyrinth of Thread, a collaborative textile show by Laura Marsh and Inés Raiteri in the main gallery, and CAUDAL, the latest solo project by Amadeo Azar in the gallery’s Project Room .
Laura Marsh - Inés Raiteri, LABYRINTH OF THREAD
Curator: Saul Ostrow
Labyrinth of Thread, an exhibition with a collaborative component, curated by New York-based critic and curator Saul Ostrow. The show explores the textile practices of artists Laura Marsh and Inés Raiteri, focusing on their individual relationships to embroidery, fiber, and painting, as well as their ongoing teaching and community-based work.
Though both artists work with thread, needle, and fabric, they approach textile art from distinctly nontraditional, postmodern perspectives. They challenge expectations by using embroidery not simply as decoration, but as a means of engaging audiences in social commentary and self-reflection. Marsh’s work examines the flamboyant pageantry of middle America, while Raiteri’s practice—rooted in communal rituals—explores the expressive and spiritual dimensions of modernist geometry.
“Behind their use of embroidery as a common medium lie complex matters and histories. The juxtaposition of the works of these two women—of differing generations and cultural backgrounds—creates a lively dialogue that guides us on a mythic journey through the labyrinth of identity and human experience.” — Saul Ostrow, independent critic and curator

Amadeo Azar, CAUDAL
Caudal, the latest solo project by Amadeo Azar, marking his second exhibition with the gallery. The show featured in the gallery’s Project Room, offers Miami audiences a glimpse into a deeply personal and contemplative body of work produced during Azar’s recent winter residency at Est-Nord-Est, an artist center in Saint-Jean-Port-Joli, Quebec, Canada.
The exhibition brings together unpublished works created during Azar’s time in Quebec, including watercolors, small ceramic and wood sculptures, and a video installation. The works resonate with themes of place, memory, and emotional geography, as the artist reflects on the interwoven landscapes of his native Mar del Plata and La Pampa in Argentina, and the snow-covered vistas along the Saint-Lawrence River in Quebec. This show explores the emotional and material connections Azar developed throughout his residency.
Amadeo Azar is a visual and sound artist born in Mar del Plata, Argentina (1972). He has received a grant from the Pollock-Krasner Foundation and participated in the Open Session program at the Drawing Center in New York. In his work, he focuses on drawing and painting with watercolour to support his ideas, exploring all the possibilities of the technique and pushing it to its limits. This exploration allows him to interact with other fields, such as ceramics, photography, archives, and sound, creating a personal poetic system that can encompass different universes, where he creates immersive spaces that become an active experience.
