Ivana Adaime Makac
Tight Bonds
Opening November 22nd, 2025.
WIZARD LAB is delighted to present Tight Bonds, Ivana Adaime Makac‘s first solo exhibition at the gallery.
The main corpus of works in the exhibition, focuses Adaime Makac’s ongoing project Gourdes sous contraintes, which investigates the complex and often ambivalent relationships we maintain with domesticated non-human life forms, focusing on their capacity for adaptation. Drawing inspiration from non-Western artisanal traditions, the work explores techniques that involve shaping gourds or calabashes by applying constraints during their growth, guiding them to develop into specific, intentional forms.
