Home Back to Exhibitions Marcus Zúñiga cosmovisión May 16 - August 30, 2026 • Past Exhibition South Gallery Marcus Zúñiga: cosmovisión brings together recent sculptural installations that feature mica, a light-reflective mineral with spiritual significance in Mesoamerican cultures, as a central component. With this work, Zúñiga proposes a re-learning of the cosmos, bringing together Mesoamerican cosmologies, astrophysics, curanderismo, and the artist’s own ancestry as a means towards spiritual healing and ancestral remembrance. Through the exhibition, Zúñiga encourages a more expansive and culturally rooted worldview that mirrors the complexity of the universe itself. Marcus Zúñiga Marcus Zúñiga (b. 1990, Silver City, New Mexico) is an artist working in sculpture and time-based media, currently based in Los Angeles. His practice draws from Mesoamerican cosmologies, astrophysics, curanderismo, and his ancestry. Using light as a primary material, his works interact with their environment to embody the space between human and cosmic bodies, deconstructing the apparatus of the modern telescope to center the subjectivity of the cosmos through multicultural perception. Zúñiga received his Bachelor of Fine Arts from the University of New Mexico and his Master of Fine Arts from Art Center College of Design. He has been featured in exhibitions at the MexiCali Biennial at the Cheech Marin Center for Chicano Art and Culture, UC Irvine Beall Center for Art and Technology, Armory Center for the Arts, and 516 Arts, among others. In August 2026, Zúñiga will present a major commissioned public artwork at Los Angeles State Historic Park through Los Angeles Contemporary Exhibitions (LACE).
