Escultura SocialA New Generation of Art from Mexico City
- Edited by Julie Rodrigues Widholm; With essays by Carlos Amorales, Stefan Brüggemann, Mario Garciá Torres, Abraham Cruzvillegas, Yoshua Okón, Pedro Reyes, and Itala Schmelz
"The artists represented operate primarily through performance, video installations, photography, and architecture. Their work falls within the legacy of conceptual art and addresses questions of globalization, identity, spectacle culture, and history. . . . Recommended."—Choice "Widholm presents a clear and digestible introduction and framework to the artwork documented in this bilingual book. The essays and interviews . . . are enjoyable and informative, and compliment the artwork's sincere craft and community. Escultura Social succeeds in bringing us a relevant, worthwhile glimpse of contemporary artwork from Mexico City, where community, not geography, smartly define the boundaries of the city."—Alarm Magazine ‘This is a well-presented and clearly-written book that, like the exhibition itself, stimulates debate whatever one’s feelings about conceptual, performance and other non-traditional art forms.’
