註釋Exhibition consisting of some fifty works (installations, videos, drawings, photos and films). It brings together a generation heavily committed to the social and political development of Mexico. These twenty-four artists, most of who were born after 1975, have been active in Mexico since the 2000's. The artists brought together in this exhibition come from different backgrounds (visual arts, cinema, documentary, etc.). They use differing strategies, which may take the form of poetic activism, the diversion of national problems (drugs war, criminality, corruption, identity, immigration and borders). Each one expresses more or less explicitly the awareness of an economic model in crisis and the climate of concern currently experienced by societies undergoing the challenges of globalization. Participating artists: : Natalia Almada, Edgardo Aragón, Marcela Armas, Erick Beltrán, Diego Berruecos, Iñaki Bonillas, Mariana Castillo Deball, Minerva Cuevas, Amat Escalante, Arturo Hernández Alcázar, Jonathan Hernández, Bayrol Jiménez, Adriana Lara, Gonzalo Lebrija, Ilán Lieberman, Juan Pablo Macías, Jorge Méndez Blake, Nicolás Pereda, Carlos Reygadas, Jorge Satorre, Pablo Sigg, Tercerunquinto, Héctor Zamora y Alejandro Jodorowsky. "Every act of resistance is not necessarily a work of art, though in some way it is. Every work of art is not necessarily an act of resistance and therefore somehow it is." Gilles Deleuze Resisting the Present: Mexico 2000 / 2012 offers a look at the young Mexican artistic scene, active since 2000, that has consolidated itself into a new aesthetic and discursive approach. Heirs to the previous generation, which had taken and reinterpreted the entire repertoire of Western art (from American Modernism to Minimalism, through European movements such as Fluxus or Situationism to Conceptualism and South American Neo-constructivism), and having acquired an incontestable position internationally through figures such as Gabriel Orozco and Francis Alys, these young artists are confronted with a darker and increasingly violent historical contex (from Publisher comments). This exhibition is also an opportunity to recall some of the bonds established between Mexico and France through unique figures, poets, and intellectuals such as Man Ray, Jean Genet, Robert Desnos, André Breton and Roger Caillois, whose presence is manifest in the works of some of the artists (Iñaki Bonillas, Mariana Castillo Deball, Jonathan Hernández, Pablo Sigg). Resisting the Present. Mexico 2000/2012 is curated by Angeline Scherf and Ángeles Alonso Espinosa, and is the result of a joint effort between the Muse d̓Art moderne de la Ville de Paris and Museo Amparo.
