In 2009, he published Deriva (Adrift), a book commissioned for the Trienal Poli/gráfica de San Juan. The installation Viaje sin movimiento (Travelling Without Movement, 2008-2010) was acquired by New York’s Museum of Modern Art (MoMA). In 2010, the project Ping Pong, a visual dialogue – 31 topics through 62 images – with artist José Antonio Suárez, was presented at Art Basel.
In addition, over their residency, which included a stay in Tel Aviv and in Jerusalem, they met with local artists, curators and art collectors, and visited many exhibitions and museums. Architect Liya Kohavi gave them an International style tour in Tel Aviv; In Jaffa Lopez visited product designer Yaacov Kaufman studio, and their tour of the Galilee was led by renowned printmaker Orit Hofshi.
Their visit was part of the Irregular Hexagon program, wherein six Colombian artists are hosted by six institutions in Morocco, Israel, Australia, Turkey, Singapore and Vietnam, and produce an exhibition related to their stay. The exhibitions, which follow three-week residencies (each participating institution hosts two artists every year), gives the artists a unique opportunity to engage with the local context, its cultural particularities, its language and its images. López and Arjona, who had previously stayed in Singapore, said that traveling together gave them a rich opportunity to process their impressions with someone who comes from a shared context, and significantly deepened their experience.
