Cristina Garrido - A Dominant Mode of Art Production

About

A Dominant Mode of Art Production, Cristina Garrido's first solo exhibition in Guadalajara, takes as a starting point her recent investigations on the emergence and strenghtening of art fairs as a new artistic institution. They are not only seen as an international cultural or commercial event, but as a central platform for the dissemination, circulation and distribution of contemporary art. The artist problematizes the conditions that this new format (the fair booth) could be imposing, both on the processes of reception and production of art objects, disrupting concepts as apparently stable as the artist, the exhibition, the curator, the gallerist or the public.
