Margot & Old hues

This exhibition marks the first beachside gallery activation by Tulum Art Club and brings together two different ways of working in relation to place.

Oldhues joins through a first collaboration with Tulum Art Club, while Margot does so through an existing connection to this community and through the experience of living and producing within it. Although their trajectories and processes differ, both artists share a common impulse: to understand mural work and gallery pieces as part of a wider conversation between art, space, and community.

As part of this project, socially engaged murals were produced for Los Amigos de la Esquina and added to Tulum Art Map as part of a growing archive of public art in the region. The works presented here are tied to that process. They are not isolated results, but traces of exchange, presence, and collaboration.

Rather than separating the mural from the gallery, this project invites a broader way of seeing: one that includes the street, the beach, the process, and the relationships that emerge through making work in place.

More than a closed exhibition, this show functions as a point of encounter. It activates the gallery while connecting it to the wider network of murals, artists, and spaces that are shaping Tulum Art Map.

Tulum Art Club approaches projects like this as a living curatorial practice: one that produces context, supports artists, strengthens community, and creates platforms where art can circulate, connect, and remain.
