Curated by Arden Sherman
Norton Museum of Art, West Palm Beach, FL
October 26, 2024-March 9, 2025
Strike Fast, Dance Lightly: Artists on Boxing presents a critical look at the sport of boxing through a variety of artistic media. Featuring over 100 artworks spanning from the late 19th century to present day, this dynamic presentation is the largest comprehensive survey of artwork depicting the global sport and its cultural impact. Featuring paintings, videos, sculptures, and works on paper by artists such as Jean-Michel Basquiat, Edward Hopper, Ed Ruscha, Alison Saar, Derrick Adams, Hernan Bas, Allegra Pacheco, Katherine Bradford, Jeffrey Gibson, and Gary Simmons.
Strike Fast, Dance Lightly illuminates the connections between boxing and artists, and underscores the rich history of a centuries-old sport and its influence on artistic movements. The exhibition showcases artworks that directly reference the sport, and its legends, while presenting artworks that explore nuanced and intimate moments surrounding the fight.
Strike Fast Dance Lightly unpacks the rich intersections of art and boxing — locating the work in explorations of spectacle, the body, psychology, storytelling, and politics. The aesthetics of boxing stand in for gestures of power, activism, emotional experience, and the human desire to continue to fight for justice.

Dear Salaryman
La Neomudéjar, Madrid, Spain
September 4 - November 10, 2024
Allegra Pacheco's exhibition “Dear Salaryman,” previously shown at the Museo de Arte y Diseño Contemporáneo (MADC) in Costa Rica, and MoMo Gallery Tokyo, is now traveling to La Neomudéjar in Madrid. This exhibition, rooted in Pacheco's observations during her time in Tokyo, presents a compelling narrative of the lives of Japanese salarymen, exploring themes of exhaustion, routine, and the blurred lines between personal life and work. The exhibition uses various media, including photography, painting, and installation, to portray the emotional and physical toll of demanding corporate environments. “Dear Salaryman” serves as both a critique and a reflection on the broader global implications of work culture, making it a resonant and visually impactful experience for audiences worldwide.
