The Contemporary Art Museum of Monterrey presents Available Aesthetic Matter, the first curatorial review of the artistic practice of Miguel Calderón (Mexico City, 1971), covering three decades of work. Calderón is a key figure in the development of the emerging art scene in Mexico since the 1990s and belongs to the first generation of artists connected to a global urban culture.

Available Aesthetic Matter brings together installations, films, sculptures, drawings, and photographs, and is organized around thematic clusters that weave an anachronistic reading of the artist’s work. His practice addresses subjects such as the study of human nature, transgression and the examination of social conventions, as well as experimentation that questions the boundaries between reality and fiction; it also reflects the artist’s autobiographical aesthetic experience, where he channels insights drawn from the paradoxes that surround him. His work, at times raw or irreverent, explores profound territories of the human, social, and personal condition.
