TPP at Constructo presents: Proyecto EN:2026 - Soleada al Sol by Emmanuel Navarro Pizarro

Trailer Park Proyects is proud to announce the next exhibition for the collaboration project between TPP and Constructo. The exhibition is titled Proyecto EN2026 - Soledad al Sol by Emmanuel Navarro. It's the 1st exhibition of the second season of our project.

The exhibition will consist of over 20 paintings Emmanuel has painted in Puerto Rico's landmark Casa Blanca. Emmanuel Navarro Pizarro is a open air expressionist painter and is well known for his traditional landscapes and still lives. He recently had a solo exhibition at Surco the up and coming artist gallery in Baymon where I had the pleasure of enjoying his craft and see how well he dominated oil painting. 

Grnhaus (local greenhousefor plants) has partnered with us and will collaborate for this exhibition with a curated selection of plants that will dialogue with the paintings and help them feel closer to the real deal of being there in the wild looking at what Navarro sees when he paints in open air. The set up looks amazing and its like coming into the jungle inside the concrete jungle to experience a breath of fresh air in the middle of the city.

We will have live music and free wine sampling sponsored by Apothic Wines. 

Opening will be on September 1st for Martes de Galeria, Hope to see you there at 6pm.

Como Construir una Isla Pop-up solo show by Fabian Detres for Espacio Dedicado an independent project by Tatina Tamargo

As Trailer Park Proyects grows, there are more responsabilities and less time to fulfill them. I understand the concept of delegating yet it is not my biggest strength in doing so, partly because I can't afford an employee and because I am paranoid that if I don't do it, it will not get done. 

I had never had the idea or visualized being a mentor but I guess time and experience helps get the right person on your door. In comes Tatiana Tamargo a recent NYU graduate who is interested in being part of the local art scene and didn't knew how to approach it or even begin to look. Art scenes are usually underground and very small so she volunteered for martes de galeria and I saw her interest and disposition to learning and becoming involved in this crazy world. I believe in her so I decided to let go a little of the control of the gallery and developed a concept within my Gallery where she could work and become her own project. Titled Espacio Dedicado. The first exhibition under Espacio Dedicado curated by Tatiana is Como construir una Isla of the most underrated artists in Puerto Rico Fabian Detres.

Detres graduated from the Escuela de Artes Plasticas in San Juan and I have been following and collecting his work for over a decade. He is one of the few 5 tool artist I really admire and love the work. He can paint, draw, photograph, install, sculpt and pretty much do everything at the highest level. I'm very happy to finally have had the chance and honor to exhibit Fabian's work in this one day pop-up show at Trailer Park Proyects in front of Constructo on August 4th, 2026.

Curator Tatiana Tamargo selected a group of small painting and drawings according to the guidelines of TPP where exhibitions are designed to show pieces of $500 or under so it can be affordable for everyone and not just a few. 

Here are a few photos of the opening where over 500 people came to see which is absolutely insane to be honest.

First Screening of Impresiones de Resistencia documentary at the Brooklyn Fine Art Fair

I was honored to be invited to be part of panelist for the world premier screening of the documentary Impresiones de Resistencia produced by Hello Print Fiend at the Brooklyn Fine Art Fair in New York City. 

It was my first time traveling to be part of a forum or panel in an Art Fair so it was a very cool experience for me. The first screening was Powerhouse Arts with a full house and a great group of panel members that I respect a lot. Javier Moreno, Poli Marichal and Fraixa Albizu. We discussed a lot of topics regarding print history in Puerto rico and had a great time. Shoutout to my friend, artist Nicole Bueso for the hospitality and hanging out with me.

The next day the screening was held at the Rafael Tufino print shop (Taller Boricua) at the El Barrio Artspace which was a Public School and is now part of El Museo del Barrio and an art dedicated building. This was packed and it was a bit overwhelming. I can see how important is documenting and the need of the Puerto Rican people to keep connected to their roots and Island by our culture, heritage and love of our country. The Q&A was around 1 hour long and we engaged in some real great stories and how the diaspora keeps in touch and helping Puerto Rico from abroad. 

The moderator was my friend Nitza Tufino daughter of the late Rafael Tufino, a great artist and an exceptional human being. She was very happy to have us there and she had a lot of stories and questions. It was a beautiful moment in time where over 80 people curious about a for of resistance, a culture, a history and people who the USA government has abused, stolen, humiliated, used, experimented, killed, raped, abandoned and has been constantly left out of history and history book. We will never go down without a fight, and we have the evidence in print. 

Las Tallas de Tonylo solo exhibition at Publica - Julio 10, 2024

Por primera vez TPP presenta una exposicion de Santos y Tallas de madera. La exhibicion titulada Desde 0 del artista Tonylo presenta sobre 40 tallas y santos en madera disenados y esculpidos por el artista oriundo de Carolina, PR. El 10 de julio de 2024 fue la apertura de la exhibicion en Publica espacio cultural.

Es la primera muestra individual del artista y la probablemente la primera vez que las tallas de santos son exhibidas y presentadas como arte contemporaneo en vez de artesanias locales. El artista tiene un peculiar estilo que lo caracteriza y utliza en la mayoria cedro del pais para crear sus piezas.

Sin duda alguna es una paso para reconocer a nuestros artistas y disenadores de tallas y darles el reconocimiento de artistas que tan merecido esta. 

Puerto Rico Screening Premier of documentary Impresiones de Resistencia at the Museo de San Juan

Past Saturday, August 8th, I had the privilege of being invited to be one of the guests panelist for the Puerto Rico premier screening of the documentary Impresiones de Resistencia at the Museo de San Juan alongside Mercedes Trelles, Fernando Santiago and Javier Moreno. The documentary is 30 minutes long look at the history of prints dedicated to resist and fight against the colonial government and how it all started with a government program called the Division de educacion a la comunidad (Divedco) by Jack and Irene Delano in the early 1950s.

The documentary goes to interview contemporary artists who talk about their influence of the prints in their life and careers including a list of master printers like Antonio Martorell, Luis Abraham Ortiz, Haydee Landing and others with moderator Nicole from El Museo de San Juan and presented by Fraixa Albizu 

The documentary produced by Hello Print Friend and Miranda Kielland Metcalf was filmed in Puerto Rico in 2025 and is now being introduced at film festivals.

If you haven't had the chance to see please be looking out to catch it as its a really great short look into our history and the baggage we have and express in our prints.
