A painter of rare independent vision, with an oeuvre that now stretches back a half-century, Manuel Felguerez (born 1928) is without doubt one of Mexico's most outstanding artists. His abstract paintings of the 1950s and 1960s presented expressively worked surfaces and a scratchy mark-making, later he arrived at the work for which he is best known, abstractions of a more classical bent, that evoke the cylindrical geometries of Fernand Leger an...

If it is true that you are what you eat, then shopping would be the way you construct your personality, and the way a culture constructs its identity. El Super (Mexico City) is a book of photographs of common consumer products (everything from candies and salty snacks to beer and cigarettes) that best represent the classic, kitsch, humorous and alluring labels and packaging in Mexico today. Photographs of supermarkets, stores, markets and stre...

De estas imágenes realizó una primera selección Andrew Dempsey, en Londres, y Francisco Toledo llevó a cabo la curaduría fi...

There is the Day of the Dead that tourists see, and there is the Day of the Dead that is a lived ritual and a fact of life in Mexico--and it is the latter that the Spanish photojournalist Tomas Casademunt sets out to document in Death on the Altar. Casademunt's approach to this often misunderstood subject focuses on the altars that families assemble to remember and mourn the dead (rather than addressing any activity that attends them), a...

Photography has often functioned as a means of resistance in the struggle for freedom and the defense of human rights in a part of the world stricken by many plagues. The processes of creation arise in the midst of political, economic, and social effervescence. Latin America's complex tangle of cultures and the open wounds of a history that does not cease to repeat itself have led many photographers to use their discipline to examine their own...

Over the past two centuries, Mexican culture has kept up a unique dialogue with the fact of death, rather than defying it as most contemporary cultures are wont to do. Today, Mexico even boasts a Museum of Death (in Aguascalientes), filled with pre-Columbian sculpture and pottery, reproductions of ancient Indian codices depicting human sacrifices, colonial-era artworks, skeletons, artisan's toys and works by the countless Modern artists ...
