Exhibitions
A Scattering of Jades: Cesar Lopez and Kiki Serna
Kiki and Cesar present unique cultural based works that examine their memory of home through painting, drawing and sculpture. A Scattering of Jades functions as an anthology of their varied and growing practices. A repository of language fragments, memory images, and mental architectures. This exhibition seeks to open a window into the practice of artists who have immigrated to America and be an essential companion to their growing visual language.
This exhibition will be on view from February 27th - May 10th, 2026
