Mexican critic and curator Cuauhtémoc Medina (1965) has been appointed Chief Curator of the Museo Universitario de Arte Contemporáneo (MUAC), replacing María Inés Rodríguez (Colombia, 1968), who had held the post since 2011, barely three months after her resignation as Chief Curator for the León MUAC.
