Vega Macotela's
ambitious ideas and poetic manifestations, as found in work such as Time Divisa and the more recent investigations of his Study of Exhaustion series, have brought the artist a great deal of attention and success, with recent
solo exhibitions in Los Angeles and El Paso, an artist - residency at Rijksakademie van beeldende kunsten in Amsterdam in 2011, inclusion in the New Museum's
second triennial
exhibition The Ungovernables, and the third Poly / Graphic Triennial of Puerto Rico in 2012, as well as this year's Transitios at Artpace in San Antonio.
