My Butter is Better<\/em>, the most recent installment of Stefan Sagmeister\u2019s touring art exhibitions, is now on view at Galer\u00eda Hilario Galguera Madrid through October\u2014and tomorrow, a version takes up residence at the Museo de Arte de Zapopan in Mexico. The show is a selection of more than 20 paintings made from 2022\u20132025 that combine the artist\u2019s eclectic interest in design and statistics into a series of pieces that \u201ctransform quantitative information into aesthetic experience,\u201d says curator Hilario Galguera. <\/p>\n

Drawing from sources such as the UN, World Bank, Statista and V-Dem, among other global and national databases, Sagmeister converts numerical data into novel statistical diagrams that communicate relevant comparisons of the world\u2019s most recurring concerns. They telescope a long-term<\/a> perspective that might be considered \u201cinformed optimism.\u201d Data visualizations are embedded into historical paintings, creating a dialogue between inherited images and empirical evidence of progress. \u201cThis act of layering does not dismiss the reality of crisis, but offers context: In contrast to a present saturated with pessimism, Sagmeister proposes a lucid and hopeful perspective for a less uncertain world,\u201d Galguera notes. <\/p>\n

Below (and above) are photos by Zonacielo Films from the opening reception.<\/p>\n
