Praxis Gallery is pleased to present Soft Architectures, an exhibition introducing three artists recently added to the gallery’s roster: Elisa Lutteral (Argentina/U.S.), Diego Miccige (Argentina), and Macarena Rojas Osterling (Peru). Each of these artists brings a distinctive approach to materiality, narrative, and form, expanding the gallery’s commitment to contemporary practices rooted in experimentation, process, and cultural reflection.
Working across textiles and drawing, the exhibition highlights shared concerns with structure, transformation, and the human condition—while presenting three unique visual languages shaped by diverse geographies and histories.
Elisa Lutteral (b. 1992, New York) is an Argentine multidisciplinary artist based in New York. Her textile-based works explore notions of power, decay, and regeneration through organic materials such as corn husks and human hair. By collaborating with biodegradable matter, Lutteral reimagines textiles as living systems—surfaces that embody cycles of life and death, and propose softer, more relational forms of power.
Diego Miccige (b. 1972, Buenos Aires) bridges his background in psychology and textile art to create intricate, meditative compositions structured around grids and embroidered surfaces. His works draw upon pre-Columbian Andean cosmologies and explore textile as both metaphor and map—an architecture of connection that holds together systems of order, balance, and transformation.
Macarena Rojas Osterling (b. 1985, Lima) works in painting, photography, sculpture and drawing, constructing imagined modernist spaces imbued with nostalgia and personal history. Her drawings blend architectural precision with emotional resonance. Language, music, and memory converge in compositions that reflect a dialogue between form and identity, structure and vulnerability.
Together, these three practices reveal a shared interest in material translation—how gesture, texture, and process can articulate memory, belonging, and the passage of time. Soft Architectures offers an intimate view into evolving contemporary practices across Latin America and its diasporas, while celebrating the dynamic expansion of Praxis Gallery’s program.
