She was the subject of the recent exhibition "#LatinsInVogue" at Museo Jumex, and the publication The Barefoot Designer: A Handbook. Currently, Fernández is included in "SiteLines.2016: New Perspectives on Art of the Americas" at Site Santa Fe, which features 35 artists from 16 countries, representing contemporary art from the Americas. Fernández also participated in the Singapore international festival of the arts, The O.P.E.N., where she presented Dances and Ceremonies, bringing together the crafts and ideas of 11 different indigenous tribes from around Mexico in the form of a sensory experience. As for Reyes, his political haunted house, commissioned as part of the Creative Time Summit in Washington, D.C., is currently on view. The project occupies a defunct subway station and brings to light contemporary horrors we've come to take for granted. Reyes also has a major solo exhibition on view at Dallas Contemporary, "For Future Reference." The show charts the artist's diverse interests, ranging from Greek philosophy to modernism, all through the framework of sculpture. It's the closest many will get to bunking at casa Reyes-Fernández. "For Future Reference," on view through December 18, at Dallas Contemporary. dallascontemporary.org. 86
