When prodded as to why he makes art, Doug Brown succinctly answers “because I have to.” While the answer may come across as sounding stock issue when coming from a visual artist, it’s actually quite a fitting reply when you understand Brown’s process- which can be summed up as the external actualization of an internal, fully completed artistic vision. The 28 year old’s artwork then is nothing more than the mere physicalization of the completed images that appear in his mind- which he is continually trying to ‘flush out’ to make room for the next completed artistic vision. However, if you’re to believe Brown- that his art is dismissively nothing more than “getting the idea out and it’s done” then you are unfortunately overlooking great art.
This exhibition explores recent developments in contemporary art in Mexico City through the theme of escultura social (social sculpture), a term derived from the German conceptual artist Joseph Beuys, who proposed that sculpture, if made from everyday materials and displayed in a “real world†setting, has the potential to affect society most broadly. The show focuses on works by a generation of young artists who came to maturity in Mexico City in the 1990s. It focuses on four themes: the transformation of everyday materials, social engagement with the public, the role of language and text in contemporary art, and the impact of music, popular media and performance.
The Escultura Social exhibit remains on view until June 7, 2009.
