Guanajuato/Gto News
The Iconographic Museum of Don Quixote (MIQ) renews its temporary exhibits from April to June 2024 with two exhibits:
- “Everything is good, everything is bad” by Colombian Felipe Cifuentes
- “Breakfast: wet dawn of a sleepy skin” by Miguel Casco a Mexican visual artist
Both Cifuentes and Casco present more than 20 pieces such as paintings, sculptures and other pieces.
The exhibits will be inaugurated on April 12 at 6 pm with free access, where the public will have the opportunity to dialogue with both artists and learn about their presentation.
Miguel Casco, a visual artist brings to MIQ “Breakfast: wet dawn of a sleepy skin” curated by Hiram Silva Velazco; a multidisciplinary project that is born from the happening and moves towards painting with more than 20 oil works, installations on textile and audiovisual supports.
Currently deputy director of the Chancery Museum and member of the Advisory Council of the School of Arts of the University of the Americas in Puebla, he has twenty individual and group exhibitions.
Casco has been granted honorable mention in the Grupo Reforma Art Exhibition and has been a finalist in the Royal Talens–Rodin National Artistic and Professional Painting Competition. In 2017 he founded Atelier Mesones, a drawing and painting academy, and in 2020 he established lagalerí_a (now Salon Mesones).
Felipe Cifuentes, a Colombian visual artist based in Mexico City, recreates scenarios of imaginary realities where elements are juxtaposed in a contradictory and unreal way, thus proposing an ironic reading of current events with a background of social criticism.
This is demonstrated in the new exhibit “Everything is good, everything is bad”, in which it presents tragic situations such as war conflicts, natural disasters and hecatombs where the characters portrayed seem distant and insensitive. An exhibition that reflects on the current dehumanization and lack of empathy caused by the massification of events.
Cifuentes has participated in more than 50 exhibits in museums and galleries, including the IX Beijing Biennial of the National Museum of Art of China, the MIFA gallery in Miami, the Bolivarian Museum of Contemporary Art and the XII Florence Biennial.
Both exhibitions will be available at the Don Quixote Iconographic Museum from April 12 to June 9 in Guanajuato capital.
