Caudales, an exhibition by Rafael Lozano-Hemmer

The exhibition consists of eight installations by Mexican artist Rafael Lozano-Hemmer (Mexico City, 1967; lives and works in Montreal), a leading figure in contemporary art today. Lozano-Hemmer's work is related to the experimental art tradition of the so-called "visual poetry" in Mexico and Latin America. His work, which combines architecture and technology, is presented in this exhibition curated by Cuauhtémoc Medina, based on textuality and language.
The works in this exhibition were developed using texts from philosophy, literature, and other disciplines as their starting point to decompose and recompose them randomly, generating interesting games and combinations in which language is the protagonist. Such as Primero Sueño by Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz, 1984 by George Orwell, Rayuela by Julio Cortázar, and Codificar/Decodificar by Jamaican thinker Stuart Hall.
Caudales de Texto is the title of a series of generative animation works that make flow diverse poetic, philosophical, and critical texts that are part of the exhibition, highlighting the non-linear and non-literal reading capacity, getting closer to an unstable typographic phenomenon, highlighting the active role of the viewer in the reading.
The exhibition is open from February 25 to April 25, 2022, at Casa de México, Madrid.
