A Lot has been said about this recently, but it is an unavoidable issue. Mexico is going through a period that is the result of long social instability.
Although this has general social implications, it affects each region of the country in a different manner. This is part of a multifaceted reality
that involves each one of its layers and supplies a broad scenario, providing context for everyday life and its issues.
Based on this, artistic projects can be developed in a period of reformulation and expansion of the current artistic environment. This has taken the
individual artistic process into areas that have aspects in common and that link social, political and economic circumstances in a very implicit manner.
This exhibition offers an individual artist´s perspective on the issues of their daily environment and circumstance, such as politics, cultural symbolic
values, issues of power and sex and doses of humor, among others.
The exhibition features emerging Mexican artists whose artistic processes consist of a mixtures of unconventional and traditional mediums such as
painting, drawing and engraving, as well as object and photography installations. Some of the work has been part of previous shows and some has been
exclusively created for this exhibition. The exhibit design will be an installation in situ.
