"Coyote, I like Mexico and Mexico likes me." A selection of recent works of the mexican-american artist and activist Daniel J. MartÃnez, and "2° nivel", a collective of drawings, video, photography and interventions by Mexican young artists
The Museo de Arte Carrillo Gil has two main curatorial profiles, one that
explores its permanent collection of Mexican painting from the first half of
the Twentieth Century (Diego Rivera, José Clemente Orozco, David Alfaro
Siqueiros, Gunther Gerzso, Wolfgang Paalen), inviting external curators to
propose new readings of this historical patrimony.
The other profile focuses
on temporary exhibits of Contemporary Art, both national and international.
Starting August 2001, the museum will present "Coyote, I like Mexico and
Mexico likes me. Daniel Joseph MartÃnez in Mexico. Photographic projects 1998-
2000", a selection of recent works of the mexican-american artist and activist
Daniel J. MartÃnez, and "2° nivel", a collective of drawings, video, photography
and interventions by Mexican young artists (Carlos Ranc, Lorenzo Ventura, Katya
Brailovsky, among others) presented in a modular space designed especially for
this purpose by the architect Carlos Bartnicki.
