Mexico in Rome with Carlos Amorales
A Carlos Amorales exhibition will take place in the Palazzo delle Esposizioni in Rome from November 9th 2010 to February 27th 2011. Born in 1970, the famous Mexican artist, will exhibit his art in an unbroken continuity of six multimedia artworks, showing his production from 2006 to 2010. For his first appearance in the presence of the Italian public, Amorales will bring on stage his Liquid Archive through his artworks. This Liquid Archive represents an anthology of almost the totality of the Mexican artist’s production; it is a database of vector images gathered by Carlos Amorales since 1998: these images act as roots for the multimedia productions he lays before his public. In this way one image can be the source for a lot of multimedia productions such as video animations, paintings, sculptures or performaces: one soul for a real multi-media representation.
As the artist states in his book “Carlos Amorales: Liquid Archive, Why Fear The Future”, his artworks arise from the need to describe the troubles of living contemporaneously. Anyway what Amorales represents in his productions is not the picture of the contemporary social dynamics but an opposed escape from them: the simplify images of everyday reality become the cause of this escape towards a fantastic world.
During the Amorales exhibition period, the Palazzo delle Esposizioni will hosts for the first time in the world an exhibition dedicated to the Mexican City of Gods called Teutihucan: antiquity and avant-garde will take place in a closer space showing in the tension built between them the Mexican cultural value.
