The Endless Cycle

Museo de Arte Carrillo Gil, Mexico City

For this Second Edition, the exhibition The Endless Cycle of Idea and Action is presented. It is the result of one year of research, work and dialogue among ten Mexico-based artists in joint collaboration with a group of interlocutors belonging to several fields and disciplines.

Featured artists are: Oscar Cueto, Gilberto Esparza, Diana María Gonzalez, Fritzia Irízar, Jose Jimenez Ortiz, Begona Morales, Naomi Rincon-Gallardo, Idaid Rodríguez, Jaime Ruiz Otis and Isaac Torres.

The practice of these ten artists spans from the appropriation of methodologies, archival work, dislocation of narratives from literature, fiction film and documentary, field work, interviews, collaborations to transfer of information towards formal and audio-visual experimentation. Their work proves that art is an instrument that reveals the voids, needs and disparities that run the distribution of goods, knowledge and power in contemporary societies. Many intersections are found in the projects featured in The Endless Cycle of Idea and Action. Some artists bring methodologies from natural and social sciences into play, not only to gather information, but also to highlight the ways in which the effects of reality are produced and administered. Other projects draw from testimonials, opinions and collaboration processes. Moreover, the exhibition's pieces exist mostly as articulated bodies of work, developed in multiple mediums and platforms. A common impulse, curiosity or interest shifts through different languages.

Parallel to the exhibition, visitors will be able to visit the Bancomer and Museo Carrillo Gil Program for Contemporary Artists' Archive. This archive contains more than 60 portfolios of artists currently working in Mexico. Opening February 8 at 8pm.
