Rebecca Camacho Presents is pleased to announce the opening of Celeste: Hacer brotar / To sprout and Marie Herwald Hermann: Lines and Parallels.

The opening reception on 1 May 2025 begins at 6pm with a conversation between Celeste and Diego Villalobos, Associate curator, Wattis Institute for Contemporary Arts at the California College of the Arts. 

Hacer brotar / To sprout is Celeste’s first solo exhibition on the west coast and their debut exhibition with Rebecca Camacho Presents. Celeste is an artist duo based in Mexico City, formed by María Fernanda Camarena (b. Guadalajara, 1988) and Gabriel Rosas Alemán (b. Mexico City, 1983). The artists’ collaborative practice incorporates archetypal images – hands, vessels, spirals, amongst others – that are woven into or painted on large-scale dyed cotton textiles. Their practice comprises discrete sculptural objects as well as multi-part immersive installations. Celeste frequently works in a site-responsive way, responding to the particularities of a site or location, and their presentation at Rebecca Camacho Presents incorporates objects conceived of in relation to the architectural features of the gallery.

Marie Herwald Hermann’s (1979 b. Copenhagen, Denmark) Lines and Parallels is the artist's second project with Rebecca Camacho Presents. Continuing her investigation of relatable, domestic forms, Hermann’s thrown and hand-built vessels are assembled into abstract sculptural still lifes, frequently displayed on colorful ceramic shelves. The purposeful structures of Hermann’s assemblages are reminiscent of language with subtle forms that compose encoded phrases.
