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!
