Keeping Time
del Pesco commissioned Magick*Magick Orchestra to create new compositions in response to artworks containing musical notation. KADIST San Francisco, September 2025

(Somewhere between) The Wind and the Dove, was a presentation during the LOOP festival, Barcelona, November 2024. For 10 days, del Pesco brought together 2 moving-image works: a feature length video artwork with a short film, presented within the layered interior space of the Fundació Enric Miralles. The artwork by Lenka Clayton and Phillip Andrew Lewis (UK/US), and the film by Xavier Marrades (Catalunya) remind us of timeless subjects, altered modes of attention, care and memorial. Each work, in different ways, establishes a rapport with EMBT and the Fundació Enric Miralles—a relationship being the very core of the foundation. The Fundació Enric Miralles is a love letter from Italian born architect Benedetta Tagliabue to her late partner (personal and professional) Enric Miralles. Both works also speak to the organic architectural motifs of EMBT, that evoke the forms and flow of the natural environment—for example the use of tangent curves that meander like a river, gather like clouds, or spiral like a shell.

A new vinyl album Terp Interrupted, by Christine Sun Kim, 2024, co-curated by Sergio Edelsztein and del Pesco. del Pesco also wrote an essay that appears on the record sleeve.

del Pesco organized two commissions within the exhibition A stubborn man and a hermit walk into a bar, taking place at the house and studio of Conlon Nancarrow in Mexico City, designed by Juan O’Gorman in 1950. Situated in Nancarrow's studio, both projects evoked the legacy of experimental music and improvisation in this iconic house; Lenka Clayton and Phillip Andrew Lewis produced a new video, and collaborated with composer Dario Acuña on a live performance, and Carolina Fusilier and Miko Revereza collaborated on a short video and 4-channel sound installation. With PEANA CDMX, February 6 until March 3, 2024.
