Mexico 2019 - Soumaya, Jumex, Chapultepec

Another day, another art museum.  This time to the Jumex Museum in the tony Polanco neighbourhood.  I've posted about this museum before.  The museum operates under the auspices of the Jumex (mega juice company) Foundation.  Their collection is one of the most important in Latin America and the exhibitions at the museum are always cutting edge.  I didn't take a lot of pictures there as the exhibitions didn't lend themselves to photography.  One was Scripted Reality: The Life and Art of Television.  To quote from the wedsite: Exploring TV’s rich and varied history through installation, performance, painting and video, the artists of Scripted Reality present television as object, medium and subject.

Could Be (An Arrow): A reading of la Colección Jumex
Again quoting: Could Be (An Arrow) explores the way in which a series of women artists have sought to interrogate and, in some cases, subvert the traditional canons of image production in art. There were some very interesting works in this exhibition including a video piece that I particularly liked by a Canadian visual artist, Moyra Davey, a largely biographical piece that dwelt on Mary Wollenstonecraft, an English writer,  philosopher and advocate for women's rights in the 1700s and the mother of Mary Shelly.  Her works greatly influenced what we consider to be the modern feminist movement.  Sorry, no photos.  But there were some good photo ops of a stairwell and Carlos Slim's Soumaya Museum next door.
