Ever Velasquez curates "Terrenos" a group show about land ownership and identity of oneself within a territory.
KEIJSERS KONING is pleased to present Terrenos, a group exhibition curated by Los Angeles artist Ever Velasquez. Terrenos brings together artists from across California, Texas, Arizona, and Mexico who collectively interrogate ideas of land ownership, inheritance, and community. Many of the works delve into the relationship between the land and the body, either through labor or sustenance, and the idea of borders as sites of generational wounds. The exhibition highlights the dissonance created when familial histories of land stewardship exist in conflict with bureaucratic divisions of property, questioning who and what constitute belonging, either to a nation or to the land itself.
