We can find echoes of our daily experience in the world, ranging from the intimacy of our homes to the expansive arena of the outer world in Latin American contemporary abstraction. Everyday Reflections in Abstraction is divided into two sections: Interior and Exterior. Interior includes Esvin Alarcón Lam, Omar Barquet, Guido Ignatti, Jorge Méndez Blake, Gabriel de la Mora, Felipe Mujica, Mario Navarro and Ricardo Rendón, all dealing with the transformation of unpretentious elements of a domestic setting such as chairs, cots, mirrors, copper tubes, curtains, and a window. Exterior encompasses Jaime Ávila, Pia Camil, Alberto Casari, Marcius Galan, Clarissa Tossin, and Adán Vallecillo, focusing on the paradoxical structures that shape the urban environment and our interactions with it.

Everyday Reflections in Abstraction is an Abstraction in Action initiative to promote new ways of thinking and experiencing Latin American contemporary abstraction through art works from the holdings of the SPACE Collection. The show is curated by Cecilia Fajardo-Hill and Greg Attaway.
