Alberto Castro Leñero Opens 'Entreredes' Retrospective as Public Sculpture Plan Awaits Funding

The show highlights a decades-long visual language centered on the Red Codex and signals a turn to larger sculptural work while a cleared proposal for three steel sculptures needs private sponsorship to proceed.

Overview

  • The exhibition Entreredes opens to the public on 1 August 2026 at Galería 526 and runs through 27 September with free entry during posted hours.
  • The show assembles work from 1994–2026 across painting, printmaking and sculpture, with the ten-panel Red Codex in red tones serving as the exhibition’s central axis.
  • Castro Leñero frames Entreredes as the close of a diverse phase and says he will focus on clearer thematic projects and greater attention to sculpture going forward.
  • His public proposal, Sistema Circular, would place three 4–5 meter steel sculptures in the Glorieta de Insurgentes and has artistic approval and Efiartes registration as well as reported Metro consent.
  • The proposal requires about MXN 2 million in private corporate financing through the Efiartes mechanism to begin fabrication and installation and could be shelved if a sponsor is not secured soon.
