We are pleased to share that Elio Rodríguez Valdés is included in My Past: Afro-descendant Contributions to Cuban Art, currently on view at the Lowe Art Museum, University of Miami.
Accompanying the landmark publication by Alejandro de la Fuente and Cary Aileen García Yero, the exhibition revisits two centuries of Cuban art through the work of Afro-descendant artists whose contributions have often been overlooked. Through research, archival recovery, and curatorial inquiry, My Past expands the canon of Cuban visual culture while foregrounding the depth and complexity of Afro-Cuban artistic production.
Within this broader historical dialogue, Rodríguez Valdés’s sculptural practice approaches the body as a site of memory, transformation, desire, and vulnerability—contributing to ongoing conversations around identity, cultural inheritance, and visibility.

The Female Open Body | El cuerpo abirto de la hembra

Through braided fiber, woven metal, and skeletal forms, The Female Open Body unfolds as a landscape of transformation. Bodies open, unravel, and reorganize themselves; wounds become sites of knowledge, and fragmentation gives way to new forms of continuity.

Drawing from mythology, ritual, and processes of material alchemy, Guerrero imagines the female body not as a fixed entity but as a living system in perpetual recomposition—capable of preserving memory, generating life, and renewing itself through cycles of loss and regeneration.

Currently on view at 532 Gallery Thomas Jaeckel, Basel.

Susana Guerrero’s work transforms vulnerability into strength, wounds into healing, and loss into renewal. Rooted in local traditions, artisanal processes, and the communities where she creates, her practice weaves together mythology, memory, and material culture.

In Digestive Alchemy of the Mare dels Peixos (Mother of Fishes), the female body is opened and reimagined as a site of sacrifice, transformation, and life-giving power. Through acts of dissection, repair, and hybridization, Guerrero creates works of profound symbolic and poetic resonance—an emotional archaeology exploring renewal, healing, and empowerment.

Presented within El cuerpo abierto de la hembra | The Female’s Open Body, now on view through June 27 at 532 Thomas Jaeckel, Basel.

“El cuerpo de la hembra se abre y opera en lo invisible.”
~ The female body opens itself and operates within the invisible.” — Susana Guerrero

Still pulsing with life, Saint Catherine’s heart unfurls into dense braids of hair, vein, and ritual fiber — a living anatomy where myth dissolves into matter, and devotion becomes corporeal form.

“Ostentatio Mammarum. The breast displayed as an emblem of generative power and divine authority.” — Susana Guerrero

In 𝘌𝘭 𝘤𝘶𝘦𝘳𝘱𝘰 𝘢𝘣𝘪𝘦𝘳𝘵𝘰 𝘥𝘦 𝘭𝘢 𝘩𝘦𝘮𝘣𝘳𝘢 / 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘍𝘦𝘮𝘢𝘭𝘦’𝘴 𝘖𝘱𝘦𝘯 𝘉𝘰𝘥𝘺, this glazed ceramic form with gold luster, rooted in raw earth, channels a maternal alchemy. The cut. The crack. The spill. Pain distilled into fertile authority. Severed yet sovereign. Wounded yet generative.⁣

A powerful sculptural gesture at the heart of Guerrero’s Basel chapter, in dialogue with Medusa, Santa Catalina, and the monumental fiber works.⁣

Following her landmark solo exhibitions in Chelsea, Guerrero now presents her first major exhibition in Basel at 532 Gallery Thomas Jaeckel. On view through June 27. Collector previews and private visits are always welcome — DM or email [email protected].⁣

“The female body unfolds and reveals itself in the unseen realm.” — Susana Guerrero⁣
⁣
Braids that bind and sever. Wounds that distill essence. In 𝘌𝘭 𝘤𝘶𝘦𝘳𝘱𝘰 𝘢𝘣𝘪𝘦𝘳𝘵𝘰 𝘥𝘦 𝘭𝘢 𝘩𝘦𝘮𝘣𝘳𝘢 / 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘍𝘦𝘮𝘢𝘭𝘦’𝘴 𝘖𝘱𝘦𝘯 𝘉𝘰𝘥𝘺, Guerrero transforms severed figures — Santa Catalina, Medusa, mythic mothers — into alchemical vessels. The cut becomes a site of concentration; the body awakens and circulates with renewed force. Monumental fiber ropes pulse like arteries. Red mesh spills like purified blood, while gold and black accents crown the ritual.⁣

The serpent completes its circuit.⁣

From raw material to living presence, watch 𝘖𝘶𝘳𝘰𝘣𝘰𝘳𝘰𝘴 awaken within the space — a ritual of transformation unfolding in motion. In its mirrored skin, beginnings and endings dissolve; creation becomes recurrence, gesture becomes echo.⁣

What we install today reverberates into tomorrow.⁣

Saint Catherine lost her head for refusing to kneel.
Here, Guerrero reclaims her as both relic and rupture—where sacred violence meets industrial materiality. Bound in electric cable and suspended between martyrdom and resistance, the figure speaks through absence: a body silenced, yet unextinguished.

Doesn’t whisper — it unfurls.⁣

Braided fiber and ritual force converge in this monumental installation at 𝟓𝟑𝟐 𝐆𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐫𝐲, 𝐁𝐚𝐬𝐞𝐥. Severed saints awaken, Medusa coils into Ouroboros, and the female body becomes its own alchemical vessel — distilling pain into power, wound into wisdom.⁣

From her landmark Chelsea solos to this first major Basel chapter, transformation is not metaphor — it is materially present, suspended in the room.⁣

Enter the suspension. Let the body articulate its own rupture.⁣
