In the words of the curator: On June 3, Leticia Sánchez Toledo opens Docile Metals and Memory at The Annex Gallery, a series that delves into the material and affective memory of objects. The pieces were conceived from metal trays unearthed on Facebook Marketplace, at Sunday flea markets, and in secondhand venues. They are objects few still wish to keep in their original state — easy to come by, hard to maintain, awkward to place. Perhaps that is why they are perfect for a wall, an affectionate wink at the days when they quietly accompanied intimate gatherings and the small gestures of daily life.
From that humble condition, from the proximity of the domestic, the series shifts the trays toward another regime of attention. This will be the first public showing of a body of work that, sustained by remarkable technical excellence and an especially intricate process of execution, opens an intimate and authentic connection with the forms of friendship, kinship, and sociability that shaped Caribbean life in the early decades of the twentieth century.
