A new group exhibition, "That Lovely Land of Might-Have-Been," opened at The Falstaff Project in El Paso, featuring works by over twenty artists including Haydee Alonso, Diamond Stingily, and Edward Thomasson. Curated by artist Miguel Bendaña, the show presents a diverse range of media, from video installations to other contemporary forms, and will run from January 29 through March 8, 2026.
The exhibition's significance lies in its thematic exploration of alternate realities, nostalgia, and speculative futures, a resonant concept for a border city like El Paso. By gathering a substantial roster of international contemporary artists, the project positions the city as an emerging hub for critical artistic discourse and provides a platform for examining collective memory and potentiality through a contemporary lens.
