In October and November, the visual arts offer at the Don Quixote Iconographic Museum -MIQ- emphasizes Guanajuatense artists such as Jose Chavez Morado and Olga Costa with the exhibition “Infinito Oximoron Temporal”.
Also, with the collective exhibition “Lugares Cervantinos” the arts center represents the impact of the figure and work of Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra and his famous character Don Quixote de la Mancha, to return to the origins of the International Cervantino Festival in its 50th edition and as part of the celebrations for the 35th anniversary of the MIQ, the most Cervantine museum from America.
Infinito Temporal Oximoron is an exhibition of more than 70 pieces made up of drawings, caricatures, plastic works and photographs, which took 3 years to develop according to curator Grisell Villasana and which presents a very personal and intimate vision of the life and work of Jose Chavez Morado and Olga Costa, two emblematic Guanajuatense artists, to whom says Villasana “we owe the base of the Guanajuatense culture based on which we still operate” such as the murals in the Alhondiga de Granaditas museum or the restorations of what is now the Museo del Pueblo.
It is an exhibition that presents work never seen before of both characters because it is partly a private collection, possible thanks to the collaboration of the MIQ with the Oviedo Institute through Sor Juana Culture, the MiM University Museum of the De La Salle Bajio University. and the archive of the State Institute of Culture of Guanajuato, which make up this visual tribute, available until January 2023.
“Cervantine Places” is a collective exhibition of artists from Spain, Mexico, Italy, Africa and Japan, that pay homage to the universal figure of Miguel De Cervantes Saavedra with a series of traveling exhibitions that highlight not only his literary genius, but also his humanist legacy and popular wisdom that after centuries is still valid.
The Don Quixote Iconographic Museum is part of the visual arts exhibition circuit during the Cervantino International Festival –FIC- in synergy with the State Institute of Culture and the University of Guanajuato.
The goal of this work is to enrich the artistic offer aligned for the purposes of disseminating the largest collection of works of art inspired by the figure and work of Cervantes, promoting the talent of Guanajuatense artists, and promoting access to culture, art and literature in all the population, which for 35 years has motivated the work of the Don Quixote Iconographic Museum in collaboration with the Government of Guanajuato and the Cervantina Foundation of Mexico AC.
