Exhibition - Mexicanisimo through Artists’ Eyes

Traditional versus cutting-edge, high-brow versus low-brow. A new generation of Mexican and Mexican-American artists is fascinated by these potentially contradictory concepts. The artists whose works are featured in this exhibition draw inspiration from Mexico’s deep well of visual culture. Their references include folk art, popular culture, and vernacular craft traditions as well as contemporary idioms: the art collective “La Malagua” has remade the classic Mexican card game lotería, while Gabriel Kuri re-created sales receipts from Superama(Walmart) as a fine Gobelins tapestry.
