  • Obsesión! Labor as Pleasure

    apexart NYC Sept 5 - Oct 25, 2025

    Obsesión! Labor as Pleasure brings together a group of US-based Latinx artists whose practices center labor, materiality, and pleasure as deeply intertwined forces. Working across multi-media collage, sculpture, textiles, and painting, the artists in this exhibition embrace labor-intensive, detail-driven processes that honor repetition, care, and obsession as radical acts of expression.

As part of Obsesión! Labor as Pleasure, artist Lina Puerta invites you to a two-hour sewing circle where the act of mending becomes a quiet ritual of care, reflection, and transformation. Participants are encouraged to bring a garment in need of repair or worn textiles ready to be repurposed. Through guided hand-sewing and mending techniques, we’ll give new life to these materials—restoring what’s been worn or reshaping it into small, functional items such as placemats or doilies. This circle offers space to slow down, reconnect with the rhythms of handwork, and engage in conversation around sustainability, memory, and the pleasures of making. Participants are asked to bring either an article of clothing to mend, or an old garment/textile to cut up and turn into something new.

As part of Obsesión! Labor as Pleasure, artist Daniela Gomez Paz invites you to a two-hour experimental felting workshop centered on presence, transformation, and impermanence. Using wool felt—a tactile material—participants will explore the meditative potential of fiber through touch, layering, and compression. This is a journey through process over product, inviting deep embodiment and intuitive making. No experience necessary—just curiosity and a willingness to explore.

As part of Obsesión! Labor as Pleasure, artist Jessica Lagunas invites you to a two-hour hands-on embroidery workshop exploring how slow, decorative stitching—particularly the French knot—can become a meditative and powerful act of storytelling. Participants will learn decorative embroidery techniques, with a focus on the French knot, just as Lagunas meticulously hand-embroidered hundreds of feathers onto silk organza, honoring indigenous traditions while reclaiming colonial histories. No prior embroidery experience is required, participants may bring a piece of clothing or textile they wish to embellish—all levels are welcome.
