MASA is delighted to present The Last Tenant, the gallery’s fourth exhibition, which is curated by the artist Mario García Torres.
The exhibition features leading artists and designers including Ana Pellicer, Carlos Amorales, Milena Muzquiz, Jose Dávila, Rooms, Ruben Ortiz Torres, Jorge Yázpik, Héctor Esrawe, and others.
Little information is available from the modern white house at Palmas 1145 in Mexico City. But while entering it, it's not difficult to start imagining its past lives, from daily routines to celebrations and singular moments. One starts to connect little details that transpire from the materials used, and left behind in it. The exhibition now installed in it pretends to appeal precisely at the required time it takes for those images and stories to pop up in our minds. After an extraordinary year that has largely questioned our lives' rhythms and values, this experience seeks a deeper understanding of our artist's and designers' practices; hence the cross-temporal presentation of objects. If some works demand the audience to stop for a moment to be considered, others have been themselves waiting for us to catch up with them, and make them pertinent to our time. In that sense, The Last Tenant, becomes the space for which these manifestations work and hope for.

About
MASA Galeria
MASA walks the blurry line between art and design. Collectible design. Experimental design. To show, to curate, to write, to build, to question, to provoke, to educate, to learn: these are the desires. Desire might even be at the center of this adventure. MASA is a nomadic project offering space for discourse about design. MASA is cornmeal, a pliable material that quells hunger and sustains culture. With digital, physical, and conceptual presence, MASA challenges convention and presents ideas on a global stage. With an effort to open up conversation and dialogue around material culture, MASA curates exhibitions offering work with integrity, direction and value. MASA was founded in Mexico City by a collective of creatives — Héctor Esrawe, Age Salajõe, Brian Thoreen and Cristobal Riestra, along with Isaac Bissu and Roberto Diaz — whose backgrounds in art, design and architecture are reflected in MASA’s presentation of design at its boundaries.
