My art practice has evolved through thinking about conditions that social structures impose upon the movement of human body in public, inside domestic space, and in nature. Particularly, I am concerned with the violence that human civilization continues to perpetuate in systems, and the way that society normalizes this violence. For me, studio space is a metaphor for social spaces. Walking inside my studio makes me think about bodily gestures. If I think of human body as an entity or a solid form in space, my inclination to categorize people as I have been categorized diminishes, and I no longer have to think about otherness. Having that in mind, I have started to develop a visual language. There is a necessity for “Time” for this visual language to evolve. Time visually appears in the work, within elements such as form, texture, gestures, and color. When I start making work, in my mind, I enter an empty space that belongs to forms, and in there, they communicate with and within time. As I go along, time opens a door to a path that is directed towards my memories. Sometimes I take the path, pass my memories and walk beyond them until I reach sentiments, and other times I see the dead-end at the beginning and decide to stay at the moment.EDUCATION

Germán Cueto – Biography
Germán Cueto
GERMÁN CUETO
Germán Cueto (Mexico City, 1893-1975) was a sculptor, painter, and author whose artistic practice was an integral part of the beginning of Mexico’s revolutionary art scene. He was involved in several groups and movements including the Estridentista movement and was also a founding member of the Liga de Escritores y Artistas Revolucionarios (LEAR). In addition to his influence in Mexico, Cueto linked with Modernist movements abroad, including the Parisian group Cercle et Carré. While Cueto was a pivotal member of several avant-garde movements, he also had a deep interest in traditional Mexican art, strongly expressed in the form of masks. Also, Cueto was well known for his monumental abstract sculptures, which became part of the pantheon of public arts in Mexico City. Among them is Cueto’s El Corredor, made for the Route of Friendship for the XIX Olympic Games held in Mexico City in 1968. Although he did not receive the recognition that many of his contemporaries did during his lifetime, Cueto participated in many exhibitions. During his time in Paris, he exhibited with the Cercle et le Carré group. After returning to Mexico, he showed in several significant galleries including Galería de Arte Mexicano in Mexico City in 1932 and again in 1944 for a major solo exhibition, UNAM gallery in 1933, Mont-Orendain gallery in Mexico City in 1948, Glardecor gallery in Mexico City in 1951, Salón de la Plástica Mexicana in 1954, Excélsior gallery and Proteo gallery in Mexico City in 1955, and the Instituto Francés de América Latina in1960. Since his death, Cueto has been featured in essential retrospective exhibitions including Germán Cueto, 1893- 1975: Homenaje a sus 60 años de labor artística: esculturas, pinturas, dibujos, esmaltes y otras técnicas, Museo de Arte Moderno (1981); and Germán Cueto, Museo Reina Sofia (2005). He was also part of México 1900-1950: Diego Rivera, Frida Kahlo, José Clemente Orozco, and the Avant-Garde at the Dallas Museum of Art (previously presented at the Grand Palais, Paris), and Paint the Revolution: Mexican Modernism 1910-1950, at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, in June 2017 (previously presented at the Philadelphia Museum of Art and the Museo del Palacio de Bellas Artes, Mexico City).EDUCATION

Javier Barrios – Biography
Javier Barrios
JAVIER BARRIOS
Javier Barrios (b. 1989) was born in Guadalajara, Jalisco, and currently lives and works in Mexico City. Barrios investigates the power and social structures that mediate contemporary society, and he has a particular interest in modes of exchange and distribution, both as they apply to the economy and to the trafficking of information, ideas, and images. Through his meticulously executed pencil drawings, mixed media prints, as well as his diverse installations and sculptures, he examines the excesses and inequalities that he sees as inherent to capitalism, exploring issues of environmental degradation, unsustainable systems of production, and the seemingly inexorable homogenization and corporatization of the world around us. He frequently incorporates references to the history, culture, and traditions of Mexico into his work, making his critique both more specific and more pointed. Barrios is also interested in notions of resistance, in the ways in which the fringe pushes against the mainstream and how small acts of defiance can generate the collective force needed to affect change. In addition to his work as an artist, Barrios also runs the independent editorial project Ediciones Barrio Boy’z, which he founded in 2012 and in which he publishes his work and collaborations with other artists.

Faivovich & Goldberg – Biography
Faivovich & Goldberg
FAIVOVICH & GOLDBERG
Since 2006, Guillermo Faivovich (b. 1977, Buenos Aires, Argentina) and Nicolás Goldberg (b. 1978, Paris, France) have been engaged in an intensive and wide-ranging research project—A Guide to El Campo del Cielo—that forms the basis of their practice. El Campo del Cielo is located in northern Argentina and was the site of a meteor shower an estimated 4,000 years ago. Faivovich & Goldberg combine the roles of scientist, historian, and anthropologist to realize projects that offer new ways of seeing and experiencing the terrestrial results of a long-ago cosmic event, as well as thinking about its historical and cultural significance. Over more than a decade, the duo has produced a diverse body of work that includes installations, sculptures, publications, as well as videos and photographs. In 2010, the artists created an exhibition that brought together two halves of El Taco, a meteorite from El Campo del Cielo, that had been separated for nearly 45 years, allowing visitors to walk through and around the reunited masses. More recently, they have used microphotography to produce images of thinly sliced sections of a meteorite that reveal dazzling, multi-colored silicate inclusions. Laboriously mining the particularities of a singular event, Faivovich & Goldberg illuminate broadly resonant themes—the dynamics between an object and its documentation, the inherent complexities of institutional histories, and the complicated personal, cultural, and national relationships that develop with artifacts. Faivovich and Goldberg currently live and work in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

Emanuel Tovar – Biography
Emanuel Tovar
EMANUEL TOVAR
Emanuel Tovar (b. 1974) was born in Guadalajara, Mexico, where he currently lives and works. Tovar’s practice departs from the conflicts and vulnerabilities of the human condition. He is interested in matter and sculpture as a reflection of the social context, and as a media for the construction of dialogues. Tovar´s geometric deconstructions, which seem to be mere formal exercises, function as metaphors for the disintegration of structural lines that fracture and transform. Fragility is a constant in his creative search while questioning social schemes and those of art itself. Using forgotten materials and elements, recycled, reused and recuperated from a social context in which consumerism is prevalent and social classes are increasingly more pronounced, he creates systems through a chaotic precarious process. Similar to the practices that occur in conflictive contexts (where construction is made with the most elemental and close at hand materials), generating tensions to make the viewer aware of that which prevails in the near perimeter; to recuperate the “other” histories that grow like parasites fed by the waste of society. Tovar thinks of the periphery as a retaining belt of capitalist societies, where he finds abstract realities in a fleeting context of fragile economy, of perishable architectures removed from the established order. To discuss precariousness, to reflect on the power of action, human labor, and work, establishing settings where it seems as though the system is cracking. His works become postcards that portray the suburban chaos in a kind of an antithesis of aesthetic perfection.EDUCATION

Edgar Cobián – Biography
Edgar Cobián
EDGAR COBIÁN
Edgar Cobián (Guadalajara, Mexico, 1978) is a multidisciplinary artist, his work is developed in different media such as drawing, sculpture, video and music. It reflects on the notions of Utopia and Ideal as articulation and dismantling devices of dominant political, social and cultural structures. Between a certain cynicism and a dense sense of humor, his work explores the symbolic possibilities of the image and its dislocation by overlapping referents drawn from fields such as politics, art, popular culture or personal history. From metaphors and metonyms, sentences, and images that oscillate between irony and absurdity, uncertainty arises as a place of philosophical resistance to the ideological problems of humanity and the world of the neoliberal era. Cobián studied the Bachelor of Visual Arts at the Universidad de Guadalajara, was awarded of the program Jóvenes Creadores del Fondo Nacional Para la Cultura y las Artes, FONCA (2011-2012), Mexico. He has individually presented: OVERDRESSED, Páramo, Guadalajara, Mexico, 2019; Deep transverse massage, Impronta Casa Editora, Guadalajara, Mexico, 2019; Sed de Infinito of the Double program at the Museo de Arte de Zapopan, Mexico, 2017; Se ha dicho que la revolución no necesita al arte…, Guadalajara 90210, Guadalajara, Mexico, 2017; and La Historia Suele Ser un Escondite de Tiranos, Intervention in situ, Museum of the City, Guadalajara, Mexico, 2017 (and 2013 respectively).
