Artist statement.
I work in a pendular way between abstraction and figuration, exploring painting as a medium that integrates the material, the narrative, and the gesture that constructs it. The repeated, automated stroke becomes a physical and performative act, directly connected to the body—my body as a tool of production and the bodies that emerge and fade within the work. This focus on gesture often leads me to experiment with other materials, such as ceramics, alternative supports, or the structure of folding screens. Through these explorations, I seek to disrupt the preconfigured images saturating digital media, proposing new approaches to visual and narrative representation. My work embraces experimentation, avoiding linear methods to redefine the final outcome through processes of discovery and transformation.
Brenda Sabbagh.
Opening Night Thursday, February 6th, 5:30 pm.

Gaspar Libedisnky | Diorama
| |
|
Gaspar Libedinsky (Buenos Aires, 1976) is a visual artist, architect, and educator whose interdisciplinary work mediates between urban scale phenomena and the private, intimate space of the human body. Key to his practice is what he calls his ideas fuerzas (driving ideas): the transformation of marginal objects into objects of desire, the conversion of the ordinary into the extraordinary, and the sublimation of everyday products into a “higher life.” Diorama presents three of his most iconic pieces — ‘Nube’, ‘Míster Trapo,’ and ‘Kunstformen der Natur’ — each of which rethinks the properties of basic household cleaning instruments: kitchen rags are upcycled into couture, plastic brooms become striking specimens of coral, and dusters turn into an uncanny explosion of clouds.

Anima Animal
The Joyce Theater opens its Spring/Summer ‘25 Season with a captivating contemporary dance production from Argentina, making its debut on the historic stage. Conceived by renowned American Ballet Theatre Principal Dancer Herman Cornejo, choreographed by Anabella Tuliano, and performed with Grupo Cadabra, Anima Animal draws inspiration from Caaporá, a project envisioned over 100 years ago as the first "Argentine ballet". Remarkably, it was also one of legendary Vaslav Nijinsky's final projects, and finally never staged due to his declining health. Based on an Indigenous legend about a mystical bird from Argentina’s northeastern forests, Anima Animal invites audiences to reflect on love and compassion for the Earth and all its creatures.
Anima Animal is a powerful and immersive new work conceived by renowned dancer Herman Cornejo. It pays homage to a dance work that remained secretly unfulfilled for over a century. In 1917, legendary dancer and choreographer Vaslav Nijinsky was invited to stage Caapora, a ballet inspired by the Guarani legend of the Urutau bird—a mystical creature from Argentina’s forests. Though he accepted, illness prevented him from completing what would have been the first “Argentine” ballet.
Inspired by Nijinsky’s everlasting, groundbreaking artistic vision, Cornejo revived this narrative in Anima Animal, inviting audiences to reflect on love, redemption, and compassion for Earth and its creatures. Co-produced with the Teatro del Bicentenario in 2022, Anima Animal features choreography by award-winnin Anabella Tuliano, an original score by acclaimed composers DJ UJI and Noelia Escalzo, and performed with Grupo Cadabra.
