Hannah Sloan Curatorial & Advisory is pleased to present Lo que queda (What Remains), the US solo debut of Costa Rican artist Erina Libertad, on view June 20 to August 1, 2026. The exhibition opens Saturday, June 20 with an artist-led walkthrough and reception from 3 to 5 PM. Developed for the gallery and built over several weeks in direct response to the space, the installation extends Libertad's practice across video, textiles, photography, and vinyl floor applications. Drawing from a background in ballet, theater, choreography, and costume design, Libertad creates immersive environments that heighten awareness of the body in relation to material, space, and other people, with clear lineage to the instructional works of John Cage and Yoko Ono, the playfulness of Dadaism, and the choreographic systems of Anne Teresa de Keersmaeker.
At the center of the exhibition is El Catre, a body of work inspired by a childhood string game Libertad learned from her grandmother, now 95. Played with strands of wool or twine manipulated through a sequence of hand movements, the game functions as both a physical exercise and a conceptual framework for thinking about memory, time, and intergenerational knowledge. In the gallery, El Catre shifts from game to formal investigation: using a sewing machine, Libertad translates the patterns created through repeated play into abstract compositions stitched onto velvet, burlap, faux leather, and other textiles, while photography captures shadows of the game across familiar domestic surfaces. The result is a participatory environment that rewards attentiveness, inviting visitors to consider how memory is held and transformed through gesture, shared experience, and the body itself.
