About this Event
Opening Reception June 27, 2026 from 5:00pm - 8:00pm
During the opening reception enjoy complimentary drinks while mingling, exploring the exhibition, and meeting the artists.
Eastern Projects Gallery proudly presents Lo Cotidiano, a group exhibition curated by Joaquin Trujillo featuring six Mexican and Argentine artists working across painting, drawing, photography, installation, and performance. Rooted in the idea of the everyday, the exhibition explores the emotional, cultural, and psychological dimensions hidden within ordinary life through deeply personal and visually compelling works.
Through fragments of memory, familiar spaces, intimate gestures, urban landscapes, and popular imagery, Lo Cotidiano transforms the commonplace into layered visual narratives filled with symbolism, tension, vulnerability, and beauty. Moving between documentation and abstraction, the exhibition invites viewers to slow down and reconsider the unnoticed moments and experiences that quietly shape human existence.
