Installation / Intervention
Joaquin Segura’s highly-diverse oeuvre meditates on violence as an omnipresent motif in contemporary life, reflecting as well on the crisis of cultural, social & political institutions. It deals with a need of questioning the existence of hypothetical ethical restraints within artistic practice, broadening the limits of what can be done in the name of art. Through his unpredictable works, Segura aims to reach an art of destabilization, elaborating a poetic of sabotage through random acts of gratuitous violence & provocation which actually talk about impotence, denial & deception, here and now.

Atrocious and monumental, the capacity for cynicism through the cartoon.
The play in Castro’s drawings poetically relates the ambiguities between the story of an event and the manifestation of cynicism as an essential way of transmitting these states. Looking through these images forcibly gives the sense of satisfying the need for surprise at the unusualness of the event analogically caricatured by animals.
Diego Teo is a mixed media artist based in Mexico City. His referential and detritus-like objects derive their meaning from a discourse based on everyday objects and the urban environment and the meanings they acquire inside a number of socio-cultural contexts that the artist explores.
