September 14 - January 29 at the Mexican Cultural Institute
The Mexican Cultural Institute is proud to announce its exhibit 'Vested Values' open September 14th, 2018.
Vested Values, a selection comprising more than 40 works of various Mexican contemporary artists, explores the representation of nature and its sociocultural environment. Each of the works of art on display reveals how particular methods of production, implementation, and execution of contemporary art can offer a complex impression of the diverse elements that define a society, which in turn promotes a continuous dialogue on both experience and perception.
Each of the works in the exhibition found its way to Vested Values through an arrangement that exists between Mexican visual artists and Mexico's Tax Administration Service. The program, Pago en Especie, or Payment in Kind, allows Mexican artists to pay their taxes with their art works. Today, artists can pay their income tax using mediums that range from digital art to photography.
The vast range of mediums used by the artists are a product of personal and collective narratives repurposed into physical manifestations. They, in turn, are a vessel for reflection both for an artist and for an audience. Additionally, Vested Values counts on the introduction of new and emerging artists, whose inclusion further promotes an exploration of current creative possibilities and provides a nuanced lens into the contemporary movement of Mexican art.
Curated by Jose Manuel Springer, the exhibition will be on display through the end of January.
