Theory of Entropy

The group and multidisciplinary exhibition of contemporary art entitled Theory of Entropy will remain open until the month of June. With the participation of 14 international artists, the event constitutes the first international exhibition presented this year at the Centro Cultural Tijuana.

Under the curatorship of Bárbara Perea-Legorreta, the artists that participate in the exhibition critically approach the use of technological media and its application as consumption products that are discarded, replaced and to a great extent, in the process of abandonment, as they propose a reflection on current themes.

Inspired in an essay by Robert Smithson, Entropy and the New Monuments, the exhibition congregates a group of creators, each of whom, according to Perea-Legorreta, offer their proposals "as a way of approaching disobedience, history, nostalgia and the decadence of post-industrial societies."

Theory of Entropy includes works by artists like: Francisco López (Spain), Enrique Ježik (Argentina), Ximena Díaz (Colombia), and Mexicans Pablo Helguera, Tania Candiani, Iván Puig, Andrés Padilla-Domene, Iván Abreu, Luciano Matus, Marcela Armas and Miguel Rodríguez-Sepúlveda.

Each of the artists proposes a personal reading into the phenomena that are part of postindustrial society and that are framed by the curatorial project of Bárbara Perea-Legorreta. According to her "the inherent reflection in the exhibition is the contemporary conception of time and of history, along with the loss of any notions of a future that is detonated with catalyzing objects and systems of thought proposed by each artist as a requiem for a period, a medium, ways of life, economic systems and ways of thought.

The exhibition Theory of Entropy will remain on display at Sala 1 of El Cubo until the end of June. To find out about visiting hours go to www.cecut.gob.mx.
