Mexico City-based exhibition platform MASA announces its first New York exhibition, opening in the former federal post office on the Rink Level and Center Plaza of Rockefeller Center on May 5, 2022. Presenting new, functional work by exclusively Mexico-based or Mexican artists, architects, and designers, alongside significant historical works that complicate and extend the Mexican canon, “Intervención/Intersección” also features a public installation by Mexican artist Pia Camil.
Along the flagpoles surrounding The Rink, Camil’s site-specific artwork “Saca Tus Trapos Al Sol” (“Air Out Your Dirty Laundry”) flies a multi-strand clothesline of over 700 items of used clothing donated by Mexico City residents, creating a community portrait of personal expression and care.

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.
