The exhibition that brings together Edgardo Giménez, Renata Schussheim and Juan Stoppani at the MCMC Gallery
August 12, 2025 | nadiaevangelina
This unexpected encounter with “A través del Espejo” (Through the Mirror), the new exhibition bringing together Renata Schussheim, Edgardo Giménez, and Juan Stoppani at MCMC Gallery, feels like a breath of fresh air. These three artists—each with a remarkable and richly woven trajectory—may not require further validation from critics, curators, or historians, yet what they share here is their creative conviction and adventurous spirit › truly the essence that defines greatness in art.
On entering the gallery, one is greeted by an otherworldly scene: a moonlit sky punctuated by a flawless full moon hovering over star-speckled darkness. Within this nocturnal realm, hybrid creatures, animals, and characters embrace interspecies fantasy, a playful and poetic realm reminiscent of Lewis Carroll’s Wonderland. Sculptural labyrinths rise amid irregular geometries while vivid portraits of birds and elegant young women emerge alongside a stage curtain lifting mid‑scene on “Le Carnaval des animaux” and “The Child and the Enchantments”—Saint‑Saëns and Ravel’s score and libretto serving as literary and musical affinities.
Each artists’ contribution unfolds with a palpable sense of collaboration and celebration: Schussheim’s theatrical, cinematic touch, Giménez’s pop‑infused, algorithmic fantasia, and Stoppani’s sculptural languages coalesce in a landscape of imagination and creative freedom. What these three share is not simply accomplished careers or recognizable names, but a rooted commitment to following their own artistic desires and modes of seeing and making.
Despite their prominence, what truly impresses is their refusal to confine themselves. Across painting, sculpture, design, music, theatre, and more, they venture boldly into interdisciplinary forms, dissolving boundaries and inviting wonder. Their shared signature is curiosity: the indulgent joy of play, the risk‑taking of fantasy, the willingness to lose and find oneself within creative expression.
This exhibition offers more than fantasy imagery; it is an invitation to imagine anew. Through mirrors, labyrinths, suspended figures, and theatrical hints, “A través del espejo” beckons us toward a more imaginative society—one built on free‑thinking and creative invention. In showing these artists together for the first time, the gallery orchestrates a cumulative reflection that is far greater than the sum of its parts.
In closing, this show is not about nostalgia for history or biographies, but about the living, breathing force of creative conviction. In the luminous interstices between sculpture and narrative, sound and image, “A través del Espejo” reminds us that art’s most profound power lies not in past achievements, but in its capacity to inspire, renew, and liberate our collective imagination.
