October 28 | Rema Hort Mann Fund 30th Anniversary Gala + Art Auction

The Rema Hort Mann Fund will mark its 30th anniversary with a Gala + Art Auction at Tribeca Rooftop in New York City. Founded in 1995, RHMF supports emerging artists and provides resources for cancer patients navigating treatment. Held once every five years, the gala supports the Fund’s expanded rapid-response grant portfolio. For this year’s art auction, Carlos Rolón and Hexton Gallery will donate "Te Necesito", 2024.

"Te Necesito" translates directly from Spanish to “I Need You.” The phrase conveys dependence, longing, and emotional need. For those living in the diaspora, this sentiment can extend to the homeland itself, reflecting an enduring connection to a place that remains integral to one’s identity.

Created in collaboration with PRoTechos, a nonprofit building resilient roofs in underserved communities across Puerto Rico, the work incorporates repurposed tarps originally distributed by FEMA and later donated by local churches, community organizations, and nonprofits following Hurricanes Irma and Maria in 2017.

Through fabric, embroidery, and mixed media, Rolón incorporates text, flora, and patterns drawn from Caribbean visual and linguistic culture, transforming colloquial expressions into layered reflections on memory, resilience, longing, and belonging.

Rodrigo Valenzuela is currently featured in "Telenovela," a group exhibition at Americas Society in New York City, curated by Aimé Iglesias Lukin. Featuring more than 50 works from the 1970s to the present, "Telenovela" explores the profound cultural, social, and political significance of telenovelas across the Western Hemisphere.

In "Maria TV", Valenzuela hired fifteen domestic workers to learn a script in the style of a telenovela episode and recorded their rehearsals. The resulting video documents the maids practicing their lines and grappling with the challenge of embodying their own livelihood through a fictionalized role. The women are unconvincing actors by design, demonstrating the distance between television and the real people it dramatizes. Valenzuela conceived Maria TV out of his interest in class representation across mass media, particularly how low- and middle-class workers are presented for upper-class consumption. The portrayal of service workers in telenovelas is a notable point of contention. Maids are recurring stereotypes in these shows, used as plot devices or as one-dimensional background characters rather than complex human beings. Despite their closeness to actual events, the melodrama of telenovelas often distorts their connection to the real world. Valenzuela exaggerates this phenomenon in the performance he constructed for Maria TV.

I have been an investor in the Uhaul gallery for 27 years, so it was very gratifying to mount an exhibition in the back of a truck this past weekend. Thank you Jack Chase, James Sundquist and your team, you crushed it!

Join us in celebrating Larry Poons' 89th birthday today.

Poons’ connection to Aspen spans more than six decades, beginning with his time as an artist-in-residence at the Aspen Institute in 1965. His work remains part of Aspen’s cultural landscape today, including "Pecos" (2005), pictured here as currently installed at The Little Nell in Aspen.

This year, Hexton presented Poons’ work in our last show, "MATERIALITY," continuing a dialogue between his practice and Aspen that began more than 60 years ago.

Happy Birthday, Larry.
