The podcast also highlights his current exhibitions, including "Shattering and Gathering our Traces" at Lehmann Maupin in New York, "The Lost Paradise" at Centro Andaluz de Arte Contemporáneo in Seville, and "A Descent into Paradise" at Museo Amparo in Puebla, Mexico, as well as his participation in the Bienal de São Paulo and the 24th Paiz Art Biennial.
