Odas Marina

at the south street seaport (April 2024 - June 2024)

Odas Marinas: The Ocean Unbound was a call that delved into the depths of our collective ​consciousness. Held from April to June 2024 at the South Street Seaport, it stood out in a world where ​we often view the ocean as a mere boundary or resource. It urged us to see the sea in a new light as a ​vital, almost mystical, part of our human narrative.


The exhibition showcased the distinctive works of Capucine Bourcart, Mario Tauchi, and Allicette, ​each bringing their unique perspective to the ocean theme. Their diverse practices, from digital to ​intimate and expansive, transformed the space into a liminal zone where past and present, nature and ​culture, collided. In their hands, the ocean became more than a subject; it was a presence—vast, ​unyielding, and deeply intertwined with the stories of migration, memory, and ecological fragility that ​define our times.


Through the work, the ocean became a mirror, reflecting the complexities of human existence and our ​fraught relationship with the natural world. Bourcart’s layered compositions evoked how humans are ​actively engaged in love, fear, and awe that evolves into face to face with the idea of the sublime itself, ​while Tauchi’s performance work and illustration invited us to contemplate the chain of events our ​actions place upon the environment and their domino effect within the world. Allicette, meanwhile, ​harnessed the power of digital media to reimagine the ocean as both a source of life and a harbinger of ​our climate crisis.


In the face of escalating environmental challenges, the exhibition ‘Odas Marinas: The Ocean Unbound’ ​stands as a testament to the transformative power of art. It marks a pivotal moment where art, place, ​and purpose converge, creating a profound experience that urges us to reconsider our relationship ​with the natural world.

About Us

English

Revolú Gallery is a pioneer in integrating ​advanced technologies and innovative ​mediums to globalize art and ventures ​into the convergence of low or no-tech ​art with technological realms. This ​exploration signifies a commitment to ​diversity in expression and medium, ​reflecting a broader curiosity about how ​traditional techniques intersect with the ​digital age. Furthering its avant-garde ​mission, Revolú Gallery is deeply ​invested in delving into the boundaries of ​philosophical thought, identity, and the ​intersection of perspectives, including ​but not limited to non-US-born ​Americans, and their diaspora, women, ​the queer community, and other outliers ​from the traditional art world. By ​championing these varied narratives, the ​gallery underscores its dedication to ​fostering a rich dialogue that transcends ​conventional art narratives and ​embraces the complex mosaic of human ​experience, all while challenging the ​Western-centric and English language-​centric focus prevalent in the art world.

Revolú Galleryは、最先端のテクノロジーと​革新的なメディアを融合させ、アートのグ​ローバル化を目指すパイオニアであり、ロ​ーテクやノーテクアートとテクノロジー領​域の融合に取り組んでいます。この探究​は、表現や媒体における多様性へのコミッ​トメントを示すものであり、伝統的な技法​がデジタル時代とどのように交わっていく​のかという幅広い好奇心を反映していま​す。Revolú Galleryは、その先駆的な使命を​さらに推進するため、哲学的思考、アイデ​ンティティ、そして米国生まれでないアメ​リカ人やそのディアスポラ、女性、クィア​コミュニティ、その他従来のアート界から​逸脱した人々を含むがそれらに限定されな​い視点の交差の境界を掘り下げることに深​く尽力しています。このような多様な物語​を支持することで、当ギャラリーは、従来​のアートの物語を超越し、人間の経験とい​う複雑なモザイクを包含する豊かな対話を​促進することへの献身を明確にすると同時​に、アートの世界で広く普及している西洋​中心主義や英語中心主義に挑戦します。

Revolú Gallery est une pionnière dans ​l'intégration de technologies avancées et ​de supports innovants pour promouvoir et ​diffuser l’art à l'échelle internationale. Son ​objectif est d’explorer la convergence ​entre l’art traditionnel “low tech” avec des ​supports technologiques. Cette démarche ​illustre son engagement pour la diversité ​des expressions et des supports, ​démontrant ainsi son intérêt à combiner ​les techniques traditionnelles avec le ​monde numérique. Profondément avant-​gardiste, Revolú Gallery explore les ​limites de la pensée philosophique, de ​l'identité et de la confluence des points de ​vues, incluant, sans s'y limiter, les ​Américains non natifs et leur diaspora, les ​femmes, la communauté queer, ainsi que ​plus largement les anticonformistes du ​monde de l'art traditionnel. En portant ces ​récits variés, la galerie témoigne de son ​engagement en faveur d'un dialogue riche ​qui dépasse les récits artistiques ​conventionnels et embrasse la complexité ​de l'expérience humaine, tout en ​remettant en question la prédominance de ​la perspective occidentale et de la langue ​anglaise dans le monde de l'art.

La Galería Revolú es pionera en la ​integración de tecnologías avanzadas y ​medios innovadores para globalizar el ​arte, y se adentra en la convergencia del ​arte de baja o “no tech” con los reinos ​tecnológicos. Esta exploración denota un ​compromiso con la diversidad de ​expresión y medio, reflejando una amplia ​curiosidad sobre cómo las técnicas ​tradicionales se entrecruzan con la era ​digital. Profundizando en su misión ​vanguardista, la Galería Revolú está ​profundamente comprometida en explorar ​los límites del pensamiento filosófico, la ​identidad y la intersección de ​perspectivas, incluidas, pero no limitadas ​a, las de los no estadounidenses nacidos ​fuera de EE.UU., su diáspora, mujeres, la ​comunidad queer y otros que se desvían ​del mundo artístico tradicional. Al ​promover estas variadas narrativas, la ​galería subraya su dedicación a fomentar ​un diálogo enriquecedor que trasciende ​las narrativas artísticas convencionales y ​abraza el complejo mosaico de la ​experiencia humana, todo mientras ​desafía el enfoque centrado en Occidente ​y en el idioma inglés predominante en el ​mundo del arte.

About

the lead curator & founder

In an art world that too often narrows its gaze, I’ve spent nearly two decades widening the ​lens, curating exhibitions that defy the easy categorizations of genre, medium, and identity. ​As the driving force behind Revolú Gallery, I’ve created a unique space where the dialogue ​between tradition and innovation is encouraged and made essential. Here, the old and the ​new collide, and the digital and tactile boundaries blur into something more profound, ​sparking curiosity and intrigue.


At Parlour 153 Art Salon in New York, where I’ve served as Curator since 2013, my focus has ​been cultivating a culture of experimentation and intellectual rigor. It’s a place where artists ​are not merely exhibited but conversing with their audiences through artist talks, works-in-​progress exhibitions, and events outside the conventional gallery format. This role follows ​my influential tenure as a key curator at Harlem’s Casa Frela, where I helped shape the ​cultural landscape of one of New York’s most dynamic neighborhoods.


At Revolú Gallery, I’ve created a crucible for non-traditional exhibitions, allowing artists and ​myself to explore new narratives. In this space, the familiar hierarchies of the art world are ​dismantled and replaced by a solid commitment to inclusivity. We refuse to privilege ​Western-centric and Anglophone perspectives, ensuring everyone feels valued and ​included. The gallery’s format is as fluid as the art it showcases, allowing for the ​unexpected and the avant-garde to survive and thrive.


Through every exhibition, I seek to challenge the orthodoxy, embracing the complexity and ​diversity of human experience. This commitment to pushing the boundaries of what art can ​be—and who it can speak to—defines my curatorial practice, making Revolú Gallery not just ​a place of display but a site of cultural reckoning and renewal.
