Art Exhibition  Until June 18 Bellas Artes Hernández Macías 75

Oscar Aguirre, curator of a new and innovative project, believes contemporary art should take on the problems of daily living. While rejection is always a possibility it is a risk worth taking. “We cannot stay silent about that which concerns us all,” Aguirre says.

With this in mind, some artists were invited to create a work with a specific location in mind, based on the current debate about the privatization of water in Mexico. The fourth World Forum on Water took place in Mexico City these past months, with no results. The opinions of the artists regarding this situation are expressed in their works. 

The different techniques and mediums chosen demonstrate the diversity of their visions.

Each artist was offered space under the arches of the central patio in Bellas Artes, and their diversity of vision is now demonstrated there through the different techniques and mediums they have chosen. 

Artists include Humberto Muro, Angelina Pérez, Masako Takahashi, Pakina Langenscheidt, Lothar Muller, Norma Suárez, Oscar Aguirre, Miguel Ángel Morales, Oscar de la Fuente, Rocío Ríos, Colectivo Filtro, Rodrigo Lara and Saúl Villa.
