On Saturday, July 12, Cassia House opens its doors to a unique experience that brings together visual arts, technical craft, and tasting. Titled Plegados al Whisky, the event offers an evening of artistic dialogue and sensory exploration within the framework of the current exhibition.
The program will begin at 5 PM, featuring a public conversation between visual artist Magdalena Roglich and Spanish origami master Miguel Gañán, a prominent figure in the local scene through his work with Plegando al Sur. Together, they will reflect on the intersections of their respective practices: the pictorial gesture and the fold as structure, paper as material in transition, and the tensions between form and transformation. The discussion also invites viewers to engage with the exhibition from new perspectives — not only through technique and process, but also through a more sensorial and poetic lens.
At 6 PM, the event shifts into the realm of taste, with an exclusive Japanese whisky tasting led by Horacio A. Fernandez, founder of Doc WineHouse and a specialist in high-end beverages. The tasting will feature two iconic labels —Hibiki and Yamazaki— carefully selected and paired with sushi. *This portion of the event has limited seating and requires prior reservation.
Throughout the evening, visitors will be able to explore Plegados, a recent body of work by Magdalena Roglich in which geometry unfolds as narrative and emotional transition. The installation also includes site-specific pieces by Miguel Gañán, created especially to dialogue with the exhibition and extend its language into the three-dimensional realm.
With this event, Cassia House continues to explore formats that move beyond traditional exhibition models, fostering encounters that connect contemporary art with other forms of sensory knowledge. Plegados al Whisky is part of that search — an invitation to pause, observe, taste, and be moved.
