FILEMÓN SANTIAGO
Compassionate Simplicity

The attention and care given to the brushstrokes, color, harmony and expressive strength in the work of this painter from Oaxaca can be seen in this exhibition that embraces the most important stages of his thirty-five year career: his beginnings at the Taller de Artes Plásticas Rufino Tamayo, his fifteen years living in Chicago and his subsequent return to Oaxaca and his most recent works.

 

SPENCER TUNICK
Denizen

MARCO is pleased to present Denizen [City Dwellers], a series of photographs by the North American artist Spencer Tunick that were inspired by thirty paintings and sculptures from the Colección Andrés Blaisten in Mexico City, one of the largest and most important troves of modern Mexican art in the world.

Known for his large-scale installations, Tunick creates, in Citadinos, a new perspective on daily scenes in Mexico City by inserting images of the nude human. This is the first time that Tunick uses references to existing works of art.

Through more than fifty works, the show affords a reflection on that approach to art that is actively consumed by the spectator, how something is constructed and the participatory act of it. In addition, it encourages and facilitates the awareness of perception thanks to the specific artistic language that Oswaldo Ruiz, Rubén Gutiérrez, Ramiro Martínez Plasencia, Mario García Torres, Adrián Procel and the collective Tercerunquinto have developed
