N.A.S.A.L. returns to NADA New York with a solo presentation by Enrique Garcia, presented as part of this year’s TD Bank Curated Spotlight, curated by Owen Duffy. The artist will debut new photographic works and a sculpture that extend his recent solo exhibition at N.A.S.A.L. and his presentation at Material Art Fair in Mexico City.
Enrique Garcia’s practice explores the processes that drive erasure, decay, and the replication of form. Engaging with themes of history, colonialism, and the consequences of technology, his work centers on the paradoxical relationship between creation and destruction.
His photographic compositions combine disparate found materials to construct networks of symbols, recontextualized through scale and juxtaposition. Drawing from a wide range of references — ancient ruins, celestial objects, and modern technologies — Garcia’s work evokes the sublime while prompting reflection on the meaning of human progress.
Garcia studied Sculpture at Pratt Institute. He has participated in fellowships at Lighthouse Works (Fishers Island, NY) and Triangle Arts (Brooklyn, NY). His work has been exhibited at Microscope (New York), Aro (Mexico City), and Sculpture Center (New York). He lives and works between New York and Mexico City.
