Four galleries in Mexico City have a new show open, or opening this week, and they are spread across the city: kurimanzutto in San Miguel Chapultepec, Galerie Nordenhake in Roma Norte, LABOR in Miguel Hidalgo, and Galería RGR. Three of them are open on Saturday 14 November between 11:00 and 15:00. Every date, address and hour below was read on each gallery’s own website on 11 November 2026.
Key takeaways
- kurimanzutto shows Carlos Amorales: Anteparaíso in Mexico City from 5 November to 16 December 2026, with free admission.
- Galerie Nordenhake’s Mexico City space shows Ayan Farah: Still, elsewhere from 6 to 28 November 2026.
- Galería RGR’s The Eye of the Bushes by Galia Eibenschutz runs from 5 November 2026 to 9 January 2027.
- LABOR’s Antonio Vega Macotela: Oracle of ashes is listed from 14 November 2026 to 16 January 2027.
- On Saturday, kurimanzutto and Nordenhake close at 16:00 and LABOR at 15:00, so a Saturday route has to be finished by mid-afternoon.
- kurimanzutto also lists a show in New York from 12 November; it is not in Mexico City.

Where and when can you see each show?
The table lists what each gallery’s own site says. Galería RGR’s pages gave dates for its show but no street address or opening hours when we read them, so check its site before you go.
| Gallery | Show | Dates | Address | Hours |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| kurimanzutto | Carlos Amorales: Anteparaíso | 5 Nov – 16 Dec 2026 | Gobernador Rafael Rebollar 94 | Tue–Thu 11:00–18:00; Fri–Sat 11:00–16:00; free admission |
| Galerie Nordenhake | Ayan Farah: Still, elsewhere | 6 – 28 Nov 2026 | Monterrey 65, Roma Norte 06700 | Mon–Thu 10:00–18:00; Fri–Sat 11:00–16:00 |
| Galería RGR | Galia Eibenschutz: The Eye of the Bushes | 5 Nov 2026 – 9 Jan 2027 | Not stated on the pages we read | Not stated on the pages we read |

Hours can change around installations and holidays. Nordenhake’s contact page says the gallery is closed during installations and major holidays, and kurimanzutto’s contact page carries the same kind of notice, so confirm before travelling. For a wider view of what is open across the city, the What’s On calendar lists current exhibitions, and our guide to art galleries in Mexico City explains the districts.
By the galleries’ own descriptions, Ayan Farah’s and Galia Eibenschutz’s shows are built around painting, while Carlos Amorales works across analog and digital techniques. That is enough to choose a first stop if you only have one afternoon.
What is on at kurimanzutto?
kurimanzutto reopened on 5 November, after a closure for installation, with Carlos Amorales: Anteparaíso, on view in Mexico City until 16 December. The gallery’s press text describes Amorales as an artist whose practice draws on analog and digital techniques to build fictional worlds that look at the tensions of contemporary life. It describes faces that seem to observe the visitor even though the beings they portray do not exist.
The press text also mentions a second room: in the gallery’s Project Room, a triptych returns to the imagery of the opening installation, derived from the artist’s frottages, with subtle movement added. If you have read our earlier piece on the last days of John Giorno at kurimanzutto, this is the show that followed it.
One trap: the kurimanzutto exhibitions page lists two venues side by side. Lilia Carrillo: Mañana de octubre, from 12 November to 30 January 2027, is at the New York space, so do not plan a Mexico City visit around it. The gallery’s Mexico City address is Gobernador Rafael Rebollar 94, and its contact page lists free admission. The San Miguel Chapultepec gallery walk lists other spaces on the same streets.
What is Galerie Nordenhake showing?
Galerie Nordenhake lists a Mexico City space at Monterrey 65 in Roma Norte, and its exhibition page for Ayan Farah: Still, elsewhere gives the dates 6 to 28 November 2026. It is the shortest run of the four, so it is the one to see first. The gallery’s text says Farah’s paintings develop through relations between materials and processes that recur across works of different scales, and it names the materials: clay gathered in northern Somalia, indigo, and pigments made from collected seashells.
The text adds that grinding, washing, stitching and painting change these materials without erasing their origins, and that the paintings work with the physical substance of landscapes rather than representing them. It also refers to Farah’s contribution to the first national pavilion of Somalia at the 2026 Venice Biennale. The contact page lists Monday to Thursday 10:00 to 18:00 and Friday and Saturday 11:00 to 16:00. Roma Norte has other stops within reach; our Roma Norte and Roma Sur gallery walk lists them.
What opens at LABOR on 14 November?
LABOR‘s exhibitions page lists Oracle of ashes by Antonio Vega Macotela as upcoming, from 14 November 2026 to 16 January 2027. The page we read did not state an opening reception or its time, so do not assume one; the gallery’s contact page lists email appointments at info@labor.org.mx.
The exhibition text is unusual for a gallery page. It opens with a section called The Warning, which discusses present-day fears about artificial intelligence, and it goes on to the images of apocalypse in colonial Mexico, where, as the text puts it, the dragon of the Christian narrative reads as a serpent for the Aztecs. We are not summarising the argument beyond that; read the text on the gallery’s page before you decide whether it is for you.
LABOR’s address is Francisco Ramírez 5, Colonia Daniel Garza, in Miguel Hidalgo, and its contact page lists Monday to Thursday 11:00 to 18:00 and Friday and Saturday 11:00 to 15:00. Because Saturday closes at 15:00, arrive early if you are going on opening weekend.
What is Galería RGR showing?
Galería RGR lists The Eye of the Bushes by Galia Eibenschutz, from 5 November 2026 to 9 January 2027. According to the gallery’s text, Eibenschutz has worked for almost two decades with what it calls the choreo-performative, treating the body as both engine and vehicle of creation. The text links her paintings to Goethe’s idea of the Urpflanze, a blueprint of the archetypal plant, and describes them as the pictorial trace of the artist’s physical movement before the canvas.
It is the longest-running show here, which makes it the easy one to leave for December or early January. Check the gallery’s site for its address and hours before you go, since the exhibition pages we read did not print them. RGR’s site also labels exhibitions clearly by date, so read the dates and not the heading.
How do you fit them into one week?
Group by day, not by neighbourhood alone. On a Saturday, the three galleries with stated hours are open between 11:00 and 15:00, which is the only window they share, so a Saturday route is one gallery per hour at best. On a Tuesday to Thursday you have until 18:00 at all three, which is the comfortable option. We have not given travel times between the venues because they depend on the hour and the traffic.
We chose these four because they are the shows we could confirm today on the galleries’ own pages. Proyectos Monclova’s exhibitions page, for example, said it was preparing its next shows and listed nothing as current, so it is not here. A listing is a starting point rather than a promise: shows get extended, and installation closures move.
If you are short of time, order by closing date: Nordenhake on or before 28 November, kurimanzutto before 16 December, RGR and LABOR after that. For a longer list of free or low-cost places to look, see our guide to free art in Mexico City, and if you have a whole weekend, three days of art in Mexico City adds the museums.
Looking at a few shows is also the fastest way to learn what you respond to. When you want to buy, Art of NOMA sells original work from emerging artists with a certificate of authenticity, and our free art advisory can help you shortlist. One work available today is Mázatl by Roti Martínez, an acrylic painting, 50 × 40 cm. To browse everything in stock, open the works page, or read how to buy original art online.
