Opening Reception “Steady”: Michelle Lopez and Ester Partegàs (SF)

Submitted by the Event Organizer

The new year begins with a powerful exhibition: STEADY, featuring artists Michelle Lopez and Ester Partegàs. Lopez, a Philadelphia-based sculptor, explores cultural phenomena through installations that critique dominant narratives and power structures. Partegàs, a multidisciplinary artist from Barcelona, creates thought-provoking works that examine consumer culture, urban environments, and the overlooked layers of everyday life. 

Through precarious and playful yet powerful sculptures, both artists challenge conventional notions of balance, materiality, and shared space. Instead of emphasizing separation and assertion, the works embody a sense of counterbalance. The sculptures in STEADY examine how power takes shape physically and symbolically, inviting viewers to reconsider the structures that define our world and ask: How is the world built, and why is it the way it is?
