PREPARATION
Back in May 2025, Maestros LUIS ROACHO and EDUARDO REYES showed Karl of Albuquerque the gallery space:
Luis Roacho -- Artes Visuales
Eduardo Reyes -- Diseno/Filosofia
Candido Valdez -- Printmaking
Karl ordered 120 small 8x8 inch frames from Amazon, and picked them up at Whole Foods in Albuquerque on August 4th, 2025. Five big boxes did not fit in his Honda Fit:
Karl had to take the frames out of the big boxes
in order to fit them in his car
All 120 frames fit in four smaller boxes
to transport to El Paso/Juarez
All the individual Albuquerque prints
fit in two scrapbooks
The names of the artists were written in pencil,
lightly on the back of each print
All the prints and frames
ready to take to Juarez
The prints and frames staged
in Aron and Francisco's studio
before traveling to Juarez
The 120 frames
made it across the border
On Monday, August 18th, all of Albuquerque and Tucson frames and prints made it to the gallery, as well as two of the six buckets of the El Paso collection:
