Lance Wyman

Museo Universitario Arte Contemporaneo - MUAC, Mexico City

Over the past five decades, the figure of Lance Wyman has remained a cornerstone of contemporary design, and his work has become an essential component for understanding the visual culture of our time. Widely recognized, Wyman's work is based on his unique dialogue with the sociocultural context that envelops his projects. Each icon, each line, each image responds to an intense exchange with its environment, resulting in a visual grammar that is closely linked to local reality and deeply rooted in the place's collective imagination. "Coming and Going" focuses on the heart of his oeuvre: design as an urban concept. The presence of his icons remains active in the Mexican imaginary from a social, cultural, and urban perspective, while his work itself marks a before and after in the history of national design. The projects in the exhibition were selected for their influence on the visual identification of urban life in Mexico and around the world. Urban furniture, sketches, photographs, and interviews will be deployed in an attempt to reveal Wyman's creative processes of abstraction and research toward the successful completion of each project. Curated by Pilar Garcia.
