"Mitgift: Reflecting on the paradox of what is passed down" curated by Sean Noyce @noysky_projects.

S-Gallery
5151 Romaine Street
Los Angeles, CA 90029

Participating Artists:
Carlos Álvarez-Montero (MX) @alvarezmontero

Sean Noyce (US) @sean.noyce

Irina Skornyakova (US/RU) @ias.studio

Noysky Projects presents Mitgift, a curatorial collaboration with Frontviews (Berlin) and Ojo Arte (Mexico City), hosted by S-Gallery in East Hollywood. The exhibition is part of B-LA-M, a three-year exchange program designed to deepen relationships between the independent art communities of Berlin, Los Angeles, and Mexico City, with 14 participating galleries in Los Angeles. Mitgift is the third and final installment in a trilogy of exhibitions organized by the Noysky–Frontviews–Ojo curatorial cohort, following Birthmark (Berlin, 2024) and Nevus (Mexico City, 2025).

The German word Mitgift is most commonly translated as "dowry", but its meaning extends well beyond that. Literally understood as "something given along with you", the word carries multiple associations. Mit means "with", while Gift shares an etymological root with the English word "gift", yet in modern German the word Gift alone means "poison". The term is paradoxical, offering that which is bestowed may be both blessing and burden.

A lived utopia - if you will! Flying home in great spirits - muchisimas gracias! Especially to @lalaurraca @danielwiesenfeld @carlbaratta and @maxpresneill - here is an incomplete selection of images of wonderful people I got to meet ❤️ taken in Mexico City, Mexico by @b_la_m_
