Soledad Salamé: Camouflage
On view through June 21, 2025 at Goya Contemporary Gallery, Baltimore, MD
On view from Oct 4, 2025 - March 15, 2026 at Blaffer Art Museum, Houston, TX
"Art that dares to insist on poetry in a time of catastrophe—this is the invitation by the Chilean-born multimedia artist, Soledad Salamé, via her current work on display at Goya Contemporary. Titled Camouflage, the tone of the show is one of visual beauty enjoined to the fungibility of organic matter, all gently scaffolded by the role of the artist as environmental activist and witness for a beleaguered planet." - Dora Marke for BmoreArt

COLAB: Art and Music from Baltimore and Beyond
Eubie Blake National Jazz Institute and Cultural Center, Baltimore, through
August 16, 2025. Featuring: Sonya Clark and Joyce J. Scott
"Nearly 200 art enthusiasts, cultural leaders, and artists gathered at the Eubie Blake National Cultural Center on Saturday, May 17, 2025, for the opening reception of COLAB: Art and Music from Baltimore and Beyond. The multisensory exhibition curated by Hilary Pierce, President of the Art Collector’s Athenaeum, transformed the historic venue into a dynamic space where art meets music in a celebration of Black cultural creativity.
The COLAB exhibition is unlike any other in Baltimore. With 30 visual artists and 18 music collaborators participating, the show invites audiences to experience visual art through sound. Each piece is paired with a QR code that links to music curated by an impressive lineup of musical performing artists, DJ’s, and producers. Visitors can bring their own Bluetooth devices or borrow gallery equipment to fully immerse themselves in this audible art experience." - Adrian Harpoo for The Baltimore Times

Crosscurrents: Works from the Contemporary Collection
Baltimore Museum of Art, February 26, 2025 - Ongoing
Featuring: Soledad Salamé and Lillian Bayley Hoover
| | |
Goya Contemporary is pleased to share the Baltimore Museum of Art (BMA)’s unveiling of its reimagined contemporary wing with the opening of Crosscurrents, a new exhibition that highlights the dynamic ways artists over the past six decades have engaged with nature, the environment, and the turbulence of our times. This installation, part of the museum’s continued commitment to amplifying global narratives, features a diverse range of works that reflect environmental themes and offer poignant reflections on contemporary struggles and resilience. The exhibition will showcase 67 works, including Gulf Distortions (2011) by Soledad Salamé, and Untitled (Fort National) (2019), Untitled (Surveyor's Flag) (2020), and Untitled (Herring Run II) (2020) by Lillian Bayley Hoover. Together, the works reveal the complex relationship between humanity and the environment, inviting visitors to explore the ongoing dialogue between nature, culture, and activism. "Our contemporary collection is a vibrant tapestry of some of the most daring and thought-provoking works in the art world today," said Asma Naeem, the BMA’s Dorothy Wagner Wallis Director. "...[it is an] opportunity for visitors to reflect on the ways in which art can illuminate our shared experiences with the environment and the world around us, while sparking new conversations about the future."
The Crosscurrents exhibition opened to the public on February 26, 2025, with a series of events and programs designed to further engage audiences with the themes of the show.

Save The Country Now, 2025
Goya Contemporary Gallery is pleased to present a new edition of prints in collaboration with Deborah Kass, which debuted at the 2025 IFPDA Print Fair.
When asked to describe the print, Kass expressed deep concern over the current erosion of democracy, highlighting the profound human cost to both Americans and the rest of the world as the United States edges closer to a dangerous form of dictatorship, and Europe moves closer to war. Regarding the work, she stated, "Save the country. It's now or never. I don't know what else to say.”
Deborah Kass, Save The Country Now, 2025 is a silkscreen on paper, 36 x 28 in. (91.4 x 71.1 cm), in a limited, signed, and numbered edition of 40, published by Goya Contemporary / Goya-Girl Press and printed by Brand X. Ten percent (10%) of the proceeds from the sale of these works will be donated to the ACLU.
