My love for ( fxhash ) is eternal. 🤝
The current yapping initiative is a lot of fun, for anyone that doesn't know: if you're in the top 50 there's a hefty airdrop awaiting you when they take the next snapshot.

"GROUND RULES" Retrospective at the SFMOMA
I am honored to announce my first-ever mid-career retrospective at the @SFMOMA. For the past four years, I have been working side by side with the amazing curator Shana Lopes to bring this exhibition to life. The depth of research and reflection involved is something I had never experienced before. The result is an exhibition that faithfully represents the themes and ideas I have been obsessing over for the past 21 years. My earliest projects connect to my most recent ones, and new links, ones I had never considered, emerged from our deep conversations about what my work means within contemporary and Mexican photography ecosystems. The exhibition will highlight around 200 works across twenty+ projects, 27 books I've published, NFTs and my latest AI work. The exhibition will be accompanied by a book published by @aperturefnd.
21 years doing art is crazy to think about. Most have been about suffering and trying to survive as an artist. I am honored that one of the biggest museums in the world "saw" my art for what it is and decided to pursue this retrospective. Trying to be an artist in Latin America is a constant struggle, so I am especially thankful for the opportunity to reach a wider audience.
I am forever grateful to everyone at the museum who has supported me, starting with Lisa Sutcliffe, Jessica S. McDonald, Sandra S. Phillips, Alex Landry, and all the museum teams involved. Thank you, thank you! I also want to thank all my collectors and galleries for your constant support. The path has not been easy, but I am here because of the care you have given me.
Here is a bit of an outline of the exhibition:
“Alejandro Cartagena: Ground Rules”
This first major retrospective of the acclaimed photographer brings together over two decades of work exploring suburban sprawl, the US-Mexico border, and economic inequality. Through documentary images, collage, vernacular photos, and AI-generated video, Cartagena prompts us to question the systems shaping our world.
-----
Esta primera gran retrospectiva del reconocido fotógrafo reúne más de veinte años de obras en las que exploró la expansión suburbana, la frontera entre México y Estados Unidos y la desigualdad económica. Por medio de imágenes documentales, collages, fotografías vernáculas y videos generados por IA, Cartagena nos invita a cuestionar los sistemas que dan forma a nuestro mundo.
Tomorrow a few more announcement around this and other exhibitions 📢🔥
