Keep this Between us.
You remind me of some friends of mine. Something tells me you’ll get along well. My intuition never fails.
Keeping something between us carries the weight of a secret. And a secret is always an invitation. The phrase draws things closer. It brings the body forward, works like a seam, a golden nail.
Celebrating encounters between:
depth and people,
people and places,
people and objects,
objects and places,
objects and objects.
One form calls another. Time falls asleep on the surface of things, and what remains are grateful memories.
Empty bottles or traces of rust. I leave my country when the party begins. It made me think about the spontaneous lasting encounters — Ana, Zé, Marlon and Gus. Four hours of celebration. No cuts, no editing. I present everything as it was, and as it always is. Here I find birds, books, holes, bottles, friends and golden nails. Ten days of long conversations.
Long live / viva longt Ysasi
A solo exhibition by Brazilian artist Zé Tepedino, presented across Ysasi Gallery in West Adams and Espasso’s West Coast gallery as a collaborative project rooted in cultural exchange and community. The show centers on an immersive installation built from a 24-hour film captured during Carnival in Rio de Janeiro, layered with the city’s sound to evoke rhythm, collectivity, and spatial experience. Works from the artist’s studio are shown alongside site-specific pieces produced in Los Angeles, spanning film, installation, photography, and material experimentation.
