On May 17th, 2024, El Espacio 23 held an Open Studio for its Artists in Residence, Pepe Lopez and Belen Rodriguez.

Lopez continued his work on his long term series, “Guapisimas”, which he has been working on for the past 20 years. His process includes gathering found materials on his long “bike rides”, and being inspired by modern day graphics, tv shows, brands, and imagery. 

Rodriguez created several pieces using techniques of natural dyeing, weaving, and other forms of fabric manipulation.
