About
This project consists of a series of analytical procedures that speculate the validity of painting in the field of production and poetics of contemporary art. As part of ESPAC’s Contemporary Painting Program, "The Retinal Umbilical Cord" consists on four exhibition montages conceived as essays, as well as a public program of talks and workshops, culminating in a printed publication that continues the critical reflections on painting in Mexico after the nineties.
The first show, Lyric Concretism, opens the 2nd of June and brings together artworks that connect constructivist language and industrial materials with the genre of landscape and/or the lyrical use of color and light. The artists participating in this first display are Francis Alÿs, Omar Barquet, Ana Bidart, Joaquín Clausell, Pedro Coronel, Gabriel de la Mora, Sofía Echeverri, Francisco "Taka" Fernández, Francisco Goitia, Berta Kolteniuk, Santiago Merino, David Miranda, Néstor Quiñones, Sofía Táboas and Rafael Uriegas.
