(ESP, English below) Comisariada por Margot Cuevas & Gabriel Virgilio Luciani 16 de octubre – 11 de noviembre, Tangent Projects gallery. La segunda ley hermética de la alquimia, as above so below (tanto arriba como abajo) busca evidenciar un intercambio dialéctico, coral y polifónico entre varios estados potenciales que puede tener toda entidad.
