Miguel discusses his sources of inspiration, and the neuroses represented in his solo exhibition Neurotics Anonymous at kurimanzutto New York in May 2025.Miguel Calderón often combines a dark sense of humor that is reconfigured into artworks that explore deep social and personal spaces, taking advantage of what is at hand to create films and videos.

Marta Minujín & Darsie Alexander
Marta Minujín is a pioneer in transforming passive viewers into active participants through happenings, participatory environments, and mass media art. She made her first informalist paintings in the late 1950s, embracing the international art movement that rejected traditional artistic conventions in favor of abstraction and spontaneity. Minujín’s diverse use of materials, media, and technology are examples of the boundless possibilities she finds in art, a practice always rooted in experimentation.Our guest, Darsie Alexander was the curator of the influential solo exhibition Marta Minujín: Arte!

Daniel Guzmán & Mónica de la Torre
A conversation about how their work responds to art, writing and popular culture at large. Our guest, Mónica de la Torre is the author of six books of poetry. Her most recent publication, Repetition Nineteen, centers on experimental translation. She has published several books in Mexico, including Taller de Taquimecanografía, written in conjunction with the eponymous artists' collective she co-founded. She writes about art, and has translated works primarily from Spanish to English. She teaches at Brooklyn College.Daniel Guzmán is a voracious reader and incurable music lover. He digests, absorbs and recombines musical and literary references at his own discretion. His work is marked by an almost autobiographical sincerity. Comics and cartoons, song lyrics, Pre-Hispanic iconography and sensational press clippings –residues of the artist’s daily life in Mexico City and, more recently, in Guadalajara– combine and reconfigure as part of his visual vocabulary.

Roberto Gil de Montes & Joey Terrill
A conversation about the Chicano Art movement and queer communities.Our guest, Joey Terrill is an artist from Los Angeles who uses different types of zine-making, performance and painting to create a body of work that tenderly encompasses his intimate experiences which intersect between the queer, Chicano and artistic communities. Roberto Gil de Montes' work can be described as irreverent and serious, purposeful and inconclusive. His paintings explore the hidden images and forgotten or imagined stories of the exuberant everyday life he sees. As a young artist he became involved in the Chicano Art Movement in and around Los Angeles, developing relationships with artists such as Carlos Almaraz.FUTURE DIALOGUES, a series of conversations between artists and creatives organized and hosted by kurimanzutto and supported by Casa Dragones.
