Descripción de la Exposición

La XII Bienal FEMSA renueva su plataforma curatorial creando un espacio para residencias con artistas internacionales y exposiciones de artistas locales. Conjuntamente, realizará un programa público con la participación de teóricos, curadores y artistas nacionales y extranjeros. Esta nueva iniciativa tiene el objetivo de renovar y ampliar su programa para vincular la Bienal FEMSA a las prácticas curatoriales y procesos artísticos que han reconfigurado la fisionomía del circuito artístico internacional en las últimas décadas. La misión de la plataforma curatorial de esta edición consiste en acercar las comunidades artísticas de Monterrey a los programas de la exposición Poéticas del decrecimiento. ¿Cómo vivir mejor con menos? ___________ XII FEMSA Biennial enhances its curatorial axis by presenting Poetics of Degrowth. How to Live Better with Less? The Curatorial Program reflects upon the relationship between contemporary art and the recent and recurring issue of economic and ecological politics. Opening on October 13, 2016, at Centro de las Artes, Monterrey, Mexico. The XII FEMSA Biennial introduces an enhanced curatorial axis by offering a space for residencies and exhibits, along with an editorial program and an exhibition, which includes a public program involving theorists, curators and artists from Mexico and abroad. FEMSA Biennial aims to expand this axis towards curatorial practices and artistic processes that have reshaped the international art circuit in the past few decades. Poetics of Degrowth. How to Live Better with Less? Poetics of Degrowth. How to Live Better with Less? reviews some of the narratives of the object’s dematerialization, from an environmental, economic and social perspective, through commissioned projects and selected works. The updates on formal reduction legacy, resource based economy, visuality and minimum gestures, art as an intellectual operation or poetic research, are indicators leading to a tendency to introduce some other poetics in which Latin American art can rewrite its ethical postulates through degrowth exercises. From a historical point of view, Poetics of Degrowth alludes to the narrative of the dematerialization of the work of art that began in the 1960s. Consistent with this legacy, XII FEMSA Biennial analyzes the artistic strategies of the object’s dematerialization and its connection to ecological debate on degrowth. In broad strokes, these perspectives defy the economic model of development that measures social well-being and happiness through Gross Domestic Product (GDP). By asking "How to Live Better with Less?" this edition of the FEMSA Biennial extends its narrative through the phrase "Poetics of degrowth" to reflect on how to decolonize our imaginaries from the promise of happiness sustained on consumption, accumulation of material goods and economic policies of unlimited growth. The curatorial axis intends to bring Monterrey’s art community closer to Poetics of Degrowth. How to Live Better with Less? through Lugar Común (Common Place), a house located in downtown Monterrey that has carried out a series of gatherings, residencies, local and international artists’ exhibits, as well as an editorial program in which the audience can approach the commissioned projects and selected artworks that will be presented in the exhibition at the city’s Centro de las Artes on October 13, 2016.
