The quarry of 'art run'
Cuauhtémoc Medina leads a new breed of Mexican commissioners
ROBERTA BOSCO - Murcia - 23/01/2010
The Country
"Regardless of its validity or exhaustion, the exhibition of contemporary art forms have a limitation shared: almost no interaction between artists and projects that integrate them." So the commissioner believes Cuauhtemoc Medina, which opens on Monday Domino cannibal, an exhibition project conceived for the second edition of Contemporary Art Project (CAP) in Murcia. The proposal consists of a series of seven samples. So far nothing new. The novelty lies in the interaction, both conceptually and in practice, between the artists, because as a macrocadáver exquisite, each artist creates a work directly related to that created by the artist precedes it. In a self-centered world, should not have been easy to find seven artists from the likes of Jimmie Durham, Cristina Lucas and Francis Alÿs, willing to let his work be reinterpreted, torn and appropriated by another artist.
This could count as one of the many merits of Medina, the spearhead of a new generation of curators who are helping to put Mexico in the international contemporary art circuit more critical and committed their time and their environment. Some have worked in Spain as Taiyana Pimentel, who signed the exposure sessions in downtown Tijuana Alcala 31, Madrid, and Carlos Ashida, curator of Mexico in Arco 2005. From the Museum of Contemporary Art of Oaxaca is characterized by rethinking the site and its contents.
Many of them are women, as the young Sun Henaro, who serves on the Independent Study program of the Museum of Contemporary Art in Barcelona. They have also contributed to the rethinking of Tania Aedo exhibition formats and Karla Jasso, director and curator of Laboratorio Arte Alameda, one of the great talent pools in Mexico City. Aedo, who began his career as a visual artist, is combining the management with the creation and Archangel Constantini, artist and curator of new media of the Museo Rufino Tamayo. You can not talk about the new wave of Commissioners Mexicans without remembering Priamo Lozada, who died in 2007 in Venice, accidentally falling from a balcony opening days before her most courageous: a series of spectacular facilities Rafael Lozano-Hemmer for the Mexican pavilion of the Biennale.
