For Mexico City Art Week 2026, N.A.S.A.L. presents a group exhibition featuring artists represented by the gallery.
" Grounding Forces brings together artists whose practice engage with the internal and external forces that shape emotional, psychological, and social experience. Through a range of approaches and materials, the exhibition frames mental health as a dynamic process, one defined by movement, tension, resilience, and transformation.
Each work selected for the exhibition anchors the changing mental states of our collective experience, recognizing the necessity to view ourselves as more-than-matter; we are beings made of electricity, of memory and emotion, moved by the invisible. In recent decades, these other worlds which constitute our lived experience have been reckoned with, with endless attempts to even capitalize them through wellness-culture, nervous-system resets and growing pseudo-spiritual practices which are disconnected from historical and ancestral knowledge. These are all symptomatic of our chronic unawareness, of how we must return to ourselves and our bodies, truly listening without imposing logic or judgement. Diving deep into the psyche of each artist, here art itself is presented as a force that grounds subject and materiality, sitting with this tension, reconnecting us with the world, presenting connection, care and community as essential in order to navigate the present."
