During this week (and thanks to a logistic miscalculation of my airline), I had the chance to visit, for the second time, the city of Monterrey and its superb Contemporary Art Museum (AKA MARCO).
MARCO “targets on promoting international contemporary art with a particular bent towards Latin American visual arts” and is, by itself, an impressive work of art designed by the Mexican architect Ricardo Legorreta.
The current exhibitions feature the oneiric work of mexican painter, María Izquierdo, and a vast retrospective of English sculptor, Antony Gormley.
Gormley’s work is a serious thought about the body and its relationship with its environment wrapped in a playful and spectacular way. Definitely, a must during this winter season.
If you live in the city or if you are lucky enough to visit Machaca’s potentially birthplace, pay a visit to this exhibition held until March 2009. Hurry up!

Hola Héctor, sólo pasé por aquí a ver qué habías hecho con tu site y veo que te sigues divirtiendo con esto de la informática.
Aprovecho para mandarte un saludo, ya que ahora va a ser u poco difícil vernos en la escuela, ahora tomamos materias diferentes. Te comento que acabo de hacer mi blog, a ver si pasas a verlo, apenas está comenzando.
Bueno, te dejo saludos, bye.
