Until the 24th of April, Casa de México in Spain presents the exhibition Caudales, by the Mexican artist Rafael Lozano-Hemmer, one of the most outstanding figures in contemporary art today.
This exhibition consists of eight installations by the artist. His work, which combines architecture, performance and technology, is brought together on this occasion under the curatorial gaze of Cuauhtémoc Medina, based on the concepts of textuality and language. Lozano-Hemmer’s work links up with a whole tradition of experimental art of the so-called “visual poetry” in Mexico and Latin America in general.
The pieces in this exhibition take texts from philosophy, literature and other disciplines as their starting point, decomposing and recomposing them in a random way, generating interesting games and combinations in which language is the protagonist. Caudales de texto is the title of a series of generative animation works that make various poetic, philosophical and critical texts that form part of the exhibition flow, highlighting the capacity for non-linear and non-literal reading, coming closer to an unstable typographic phenomenon, emphasising the active role of the spectator in the reading.
