Join us uptown on June 7th, 2025 5-8pm for the opening of The House Our Hands Built, a solo exhibition by artist Gino Romero at GG & POP Institute located at 345 E 104th St. NY NY 10029

The House Our Hands Built is a primarily paper and light based installation, recreating Romero’s familial home in Venezuela from memory. Mirroring the nature of memory, this installation will be fragmented, flowing through text, images, and gaps in order to bring Romero’s memory (and lack thereof) into an experiential space. The installation will take cues from book arts in both form and methodologies, using the traditional materials along with time-based elements to create an immersive “book”. The installation will use light to hide and reveal parts of the memories embedded in the large paper works.

RSVP required to attend.

Children are welcomed and all minors are free.
