Mauricio Limón in Museo Cabañas.
“Memoria ciega” opens October 21st in Guadalajara. Mauricio Limón recent institutional exhibition in Museo Cabañas (Guadalajara) brings together a heterogeneous body of works around the aesthetic and discursive possibilities of satirizing various core areas of the contemporary artistic, cognitive, psychic, so- cio-political and humorous evolution. Through different media such as sculpture, graphics, performance, video and painting, his works put in check a range of paradigms on the construction of identity, the so-called “white supremacy” and ethnography, the hegemonic postcolonial theories and the loopholes that still prevail to generate a critique and self-criticism of artistic work, collecting, theoretical-curatorial babbling and al- truistic cultural institutions such as this one where we are. The first one to laugh loses, the last one to laugh will laugh better. The hyena dies laughing.In conclusion, the aesthetic and discursive bet of this artist of- fers multiple layers of interpretation and stratagems or resourc- es aimed at generating a series of critical astonishment or bewil- derment about art, politics and culture. Serious matters, no doubt, but not for that reason free of being satirized. Quite vthe opposite, while you can, laugh like a hyena.
