About the exhibition
New Topographies: 25.7617° N, 80.1918 W° by Gabriela Gamboa is a grouping of digital prints on aluminum panels that depict el Cerro B, a mine located in the southern state of Bolívar in Venezuela. In this multi-site installation, on view at Bakehouse Art Complex and The Deering Estate, the prints are a combination of archives, photography, and found material the artist brings together to explore how particular landscapes relate to and influence memory.
