No Place at Untitled Art, Houston 2025
No place is an experimental platform for the exhibition of contemporary art. A project promoted jointly by four galleries, namely Nueveochenta (Colombia), Arróniz (Mexico), Michael Sturm (Germany) and NF/NIEVES FERNÁNDEZ (Spain), it aims to generate new experiences for the public via an alternative production model. Operating under a collaborative system, so that the tools, the teams and resources of each member are available to others, No Place is a collective effort to produce and finance events where the focus of attention rests completely on the artists’ work. In this sense, it is an unprecedented experiment, and one with which the galleries seek to contribute to the transformation of an established reality as typically sought by all agents linked to the art world.–

Daniela Libertad
Mexico, 1983
The works by Daniela Libertad in drawing, photography and video, explore the several relations among geometric forms, objects and her own body, the perceptions on what is intangible, mystical and their connections with everyday life.
The artist investigates also on how sculptural dynamics are constructed and deposited into objects, in an effort to understand the relations of weight, tension and balance among materials, shapes and objects.
Her body of work pushes into tension the perceptions of what is both intangible and habitual. By using different media, the artist allows her work to confront immaterial elements and geometrical forms with common objects and her own body, exploring both the mystical and ethereal features of these components, and concrete aspects such as weight, density and touch. In these tension exercises, the artist unsettles the mixture between apparently opposite fields, between physical and mental or abstract and figurative, towards a stage of precarious balance between parts that, ultimately, inform us on a fragile and banal condition of our apprehension of day-to-day poetry.
She has exhibited at institutions such as Museo Ex-Teresa Arte Actual, Museo de la Ciudad de México, Akershus Kunstsenter, Kunstverein Wiesbaden, El Espacio23, Museum of Human Achievement, University of Maryland, VITA ROSEN, and Cine Tonalá Bogotá, among others.
Her work is part of the collections of Jorge Pérez, Fundación MARSO, and Fundación Otazu.

Carlos Rojas
Albán 1933 – Bogotá 1983
Carlos Rojas (Albán 1933 – Bogotá 1997) is one of the key figures in the development of Abstract Art in Colombia and in Latin America in general. Through drawing, painting, collage and sculpture, he explored the possibilities of constructing and deconstructing spaces, from a conceptual and technical perspective. It is impossible to classify Rojas under a single style, since his production oscillated between different languages that were the result of a constant reflection on the very nature of the artistic exercise. He won first place in the Salón Nacional de Artistas in 1965, 1969, and 1973. His work is part of the collections of the Banco de la República de Colombia (Bogotá, Colombia), the Museum of Modern Art in New York – MoMA, the Museum of Fine Arts in Houston (Houston, USA), the Museo de Nacional de Colombia (Bogotá, Colombia), among others.
