Mario Garcia Torres. The poetics of the return at MARCO
MARCO will present for the first time a solo exhibition by Mario García Torres. The exhibition La poética del retorno, brings together more than thirty works spanning two decades of the artist's career.
This exhibition was created and organized by MARCO under the curatorship of Taiyana Pimentel and establishes a parallel between post-conceptual and immersive practices, as well as analyzing through early works, the connotations of the sense of space and landscape born early in the city of Monterrey. The same that welcomed him in his formative days and that are concepts that have accompanied him in his later artistic practice.
The artist has explored appropriation, repetition, and recreation in his works as strategies that are addressed in the themes he chooses. His projects frequently investigate the history of contemporary art, particularly conceptual art, to propose different and captivating narratives through photographs, slide projections, films, sound, text, and video installations; he often juxtaposes facts with imagined scenes, blurring truth and fiction along the way.
The visitors will be able to appreciate works that have mostly been presented in international venues but that will be the first time that they are exhibited in the city of Monterrey and in addition to the inclusion of 6 works that were specially created for this exhibition.
Mario Garcia Torres. The poetics of the return, is in view until August 29, 2021.
