Nara Roesler New York presents The Other, an exhibition curated by Vik Muniz that is part of the programme celebrating 50 years of Nara Roesler's career as a gallerist. On view from 5 November 2026 to January 2027, the show brings together works by Antonio Dias, Julio Le Parc, Tomie Ohtake, Daniel Buren, Richard Long, Sheila Hicks, Heinz Mack, Isaac Julien, JR, Cao Guimarães, Jonathas de Andrade, Amelia Toledo, Carlito Carvalhosa, Marco Maggi, Alexandre Arrechea, Xavier Veilhan, Angelo Venosa, Not Vital, Maria Klabin, Marco A. Castillo and Jose Dávila, as well as Vik himself. Drawing on different languages and periods, the exhibition investigates how each individual's perception of themselves depends on an external perspective that is inaccessible to them: that of the other.
The starting point is the concept of "excess of seeing" (excesso de visão), formulated by the Russian philosopher Mikhail Bakhtin, according to which each individual perceives aspects of others that remain inaccessible to themselves. Muniz relates this idea to artistic practice, which requires a shift of one's own perspective in order to observe something from another place.
