The RedCollectors platform, dedicated to the sale and dissemination of contemporary art, has selected works by Pilar Aymerich and Colita to celebrate Pride month. For this selection they invited Javier Díaz-Guardiola, who has added Kathy, Transexual en su habitación de la Cúpula Venus en Las Ramblas, Barcelona (1972) and Ocaña y Camilo (1977) to his repertoire of LGTBIQA+ art.
The gallery would like to thank Javier Díaz-Guardiola for selecting the photographs of Pilar Aymerich and Colita. Both portrayed the outsiders of the seventies, who fought against their own dissidence every day. Thanks to those who ran yesterday, we can run today. We would also like to thank RedCollectors for organising such an important and necessary event that makes visible the multifaceted reality of contemporary art.

From 8 June to 20 July, the city of Paris is hosting the Cuzin/Mont exhibition at the Bernard Jordan gallery. In this exhibition, Miquel Mont engages in a direct dialogue with the artist Christophe Cuzin: in their work, the formal games and ambiguities between the written word and artistic conceptualisation are more than evident. In the words of the exhibition’s curator: “There is a mathematics of dyslexia. Interestingly, it is not a mathematics of chance or probability, but a mathematics of proximity and permutability that brings the two artists together. Christophe Cuzin never really chooses the colours he uses, so this time Miquel Mont takes the reins. Conversely, the frontality of Miquel’s collages finds depth in the indifference of Christophe Cuzin’s devices. More generally, the use of dyslexia as a method is particularly consistent with the approach of both artists”.
On 8 June, Andrés Galeano presents his project “Neophogram” at La Capella in Barcelona.
