Soledad Salamé: Camouflage
On view at Goya Contemporary Gallery, Baltimore, MD: April 12 - May 22, 2025
Reception at Goya Contemporary Gallery: April 17, 5-7pm
On view at Blaffer Art Museum, Houston, TX: Oct 4, 2025 - March 15, 2026
As environmental degradation becomes an increasingly pervasive and subtle part of our daily lives, its impact continues to be overshadowed by the promises of “green” consumerism. While major corporations tout their eco-friendly initiatives, the exploitation of natural resources persists unchecked. Global summits and regulations continue to struggle for meaningful change, and the spectacle of eco-activists disrupting art institutions seems more like a symbolic gesture than an effective solution. It is within this complex and urgent context that Chilean American artist Soledad Salamé positions her latest work—a profound, poetic intervention at the intersection of art, research, and environmental activism.

Thread Lines concludes
Thread Lines is an exhibition that showcases the work of contemporary artists who integrate sewing techniques and fibers into a wide range of artistic forms, from drawings and paintings to prints, wall hangings, and sculptures. The exhibition explores the emotional depth capable within a single thread, blending traditional methods with innovative approaches of using thread to examine the symbolic ties that connect individuals and communities.
Featuring artists Sanford Biggers, Claire Campbell Park, Sonya Clark, Liliana Porter, Soledad Salamé, Joyce J. Scott, Elizabeth Talford Scott, Alan Shields, Jo Smail, and Paula Wilson, Thread Lines highlights how each artist challenges the boundaries between fine art and craft. Their work collectively redefines these distinctions, emphasizing the power of thread not just as a medium but as a vehicle for cultural and personal expression.
The exhibition’s contents aim to evoke, question, and preserve both individual and collective memories while addressing urgent social issues. The artists explore a wide array of themes—gender, race, sexuality, class, climate change, beauty, politics, and cultural heritage—all which challenge stereotypes and reflect the fluidity of identity in the contemporary world. By engaging with these complex themes, Thread Lines fosters a dialogue about belonging and inclusivity, using thread as a throughline and a metaphor for connection, transformation, and enlightenment.

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.” 1
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.
