Artist Rolando López curated by relentless explorer of Latin American art Albertine de Galbert

“There is something particularly sincere about Rolando's work. It's not another research project on art itself, but a reflection on how one can actually transform one's situation with art. It defends this idea that art is in life, discreetly operating changes.”

RELENTLESS EXPLORER OF LATIN AMERICAN ART • CURATOR • FOUNDER OF ARTESUR

After a year-long research trip to Latin America, Albertine de Galbert decided to create ARTESUR, a non-profit dedicated to Latin American contemporary art. Albertine is also the french advisor for La Fabrique des images, a residency program developed between Mexico and France by the Instituto Francés de América Latina in Mexico. Albertine has also curated exhibitions in galleries across Europe, such as the ADN Gallery in Barcelona and Palais de Tokyo in Paris.
