Zebra Crossing
Haus der Kulturen der Welt - HKW, Berlin
Contemporary Art from Mexico. The exhibit describes the shift in current geopolitical borders and casts the urban Moloch as a gigantic wish machine. The works by the young generation of Mexican artists reflect breaks and discontinuities in their own lives and immediate surroundings, curator Magali Arriola. Exhibition series of events MEXartes-berlin.de
"Zebra Crossing revives the 1950s' notion of
psychogeography: a mental combination of objective and
subjective points of view which makes it possible to
rethink urban structures spontaneously and collectively."
Magali Arriola, curator
The exhibit describes the shift in current geopolitical
borders and casts the urban Moloch as a gigantic wish
machine. The works by the young generation of Mexican
artists reflect breaks and discontinuities in their own lives
and immediate surroundings. They regard urban
structures from a subjective point of view, discover places
in which the potential for play can unfold, and carry out an
archaeology of ephemera in public spaces.
Zebra Crossing will show works, some created on-location
in Berlin, by:
Artemio, Eduardo Abaroa, Iñaki Bonillas, Stefan
Brüggemann, Aldo Chaparro, Claudia Fernandez, Thomas
Glassford, Silvia Gruner, Enrique Jezik, Gonzalo Lebrija,
Luis Miguel Suro, Teresa Margolles, Carlos Ranc, Pedro
Reyes, Melanie Smith, SofÃa Táboas, Pablo Vargas Lugo,
Miguel Ventura and the groups Tercero 1/5, Ediciones El
Chino.
The curator Magalà Arriola developed the exhibit in
collaboration with architects, artists and sociologists. The
partner for this exhibit is the Mexican art scene's best
known talent-promoter, the Museo del Arte Carillo Gil in
Mexico City.
