Margen-Borde-Orilla: Un Siglo de Creaci贸n Independiente. 1906-2016
The exhibition at 笔谩谤补尘辞 will display over one hundred compositions, each executed in diverse techniques and various mediums, including: photography, film, sculpture, drawing, and painting. The abstract portraits by Marius de Zayas, the shapeless constructions by Germ谩n Cueto, the concentric forms by Eduardo Terrazas, the pictorial gestures by Jes煤s 鈥淐hucho鈥 Reyes Ferreira, the body-weight rock sculptures by Juan Kraeppellin, the ethnographic illustrations by Miguel Covarrubias, the mythological masses by Germ谩n Venegas, and the delirious eroticism by Francisco Toledo together make a universe of Mexico, which is then profoundly investigated through the photographs by Graciela Iturbide. These works reveal a series of singular worlds, unveiled as a set of individual visions with great courage and artistic personality.
Today we are experiencing a moment where the media marks the limit of thinking, and where everything appears to flow complacently inside the margins, borders, and edges of the art system. The works included in this exhibition, produced during this great span of time, are the antithesis of this complacency. The compositions of these courageous artists move steadfastly in the other direction. The 鈥渆ccentricity鈥 that characterizes these combatant artistic souls is the biggest treasure鈥攊t is the action that always develops from outside of the center, based on convictions that are born, most profoundly, in the spirit of autonomy.
