Gala Porras-Kim @ Gasworks

Gala Porras-Kim’s, work traces the global circulation of ancient precolonial artefacts extracted from their original sites and stored in museums and private collections.  It examines how the definitions and possibilities of these objects change in response to each context.

Departing from official replicas of the monoliths recently found inside the Pyramid of the Sun in Teotihuacan, Mexico, her exhibition unravels the many worlds colliding in these powerful stones, from international copyright laws to cosmologies, stars and forces greater than us.
