Enrique Ježik at the MUAC in Mexico City
The exhibition Enrique Ježik: Obstruct, Destroy, Conceal, at the Museo Universitario Arte Contemporaneo, MUAC, in Mexico City, displays
for the very first time an extensive review of the works and projects of an artist that has played a key role in the narrative of Mexican contemporary art.
Organized in six sections relating to the concepts of violence devices, spaces and operations (“Obstruction,” “Destruction,” “Concealment,” “The Enemy’s Body,” “Operations Theater” and
“Sacrificial Constructivism”), the exhibition —curated by Cuauhtémoc Medina— travels over the territory of objects, forces and images, put together by Ježik while musing on the symbolic and technical
relationship of sculpture with domination devices.
Complementing the exhibition, MUAC will release the book Enrique Ježik: Obstruct, Destroy, Conceal, a comprehensive collection of the works of the Argentinean-Mexican sculptor. Edited by Cuauhtémoc
Medina, this highly illustrated volume includes an interview and philosophical, historical and aesthetic essays by José Luis Barrios, Néstor García Canclini and David Goldberg.
Opening: 11 June at 1:00p.m.
Open to the public until November 2011
