Pasaje Iturbide

Museum City of Mexico, Mexico City


comunicato stampa

The Museum of the City of Mexico has developed a program outside of its walls. In its efforts to unite contemporary art with other social expressions of the city it has invited the Canadian artist Terence Gower to create - "Pasaje Iturbide", a project which takes on the relationship between two types of exhibition: that of commercial products in store windows and that of art works in museums and galleries. The Pasaje Iturbide is without doubt one of the most interesting sites in the Historical Center of Mexico City.

The exhibition consists of installations by 9 artists and 5 writers whose work investigates distinct aspects of commercialism (merchandising, advertising, product display.) Each participant will create an installation playing with the context of the Pasaje Iturbide. Some artists will use the principal corridor of the passage, while others will experiment with the show windows and products of the stores. Other installations will be created in the museum showcases of the Museum of the City of Mexico with reference to the projects in the Pasaje Iturbide.

Curated by Terence Gower, "Pasaje Iturbide" includes the following artists:
Minerva Cuevas (a.k.a. The Mejor Vida Corporation)
Claudia Fernández
Paco Marcial
Donna Nield
Edgar Orlaineta
Melanie Smith
Laureana Toledo
