2-TIMES  Art
Miguel Calderón,
Caída libre’ @
Luhring Augustine, 
New York
— 

‘Caída libre’: 
The English 
translation of
the 
exhibition
title is: 
Free fall
 and is centered
on the theme
of
falconry
— 
Struck by the
years of discipline
it takes in training
one’s bird, Calderón
became fascinated
with the obsessive,
almost compulsory
fixation one develops
in maintaining this
partnership. 

A unique
interdependence
between man and
animal, predicated
on the falconer’s
desire to connect
with nature and
the bird’s instinctual
drive to hunt for
survival
.
” 

The exhibition: 
Organized in
collaboration
with kurimanzutto,
features a sculptural
installation, alongside 
a film that illustrates
the aforementioned
relationship through
the story of Camaleón
– a bouncer at a
nightclub in Mexico
City, who takes his
falcon out hunting
every morning.
