Melquiades Herrera

This exhibition presents objects collected by Melquiades Herrera (Mexico City, 1949-2003) as witnesses of a complex practice involving art action, the study of material culture, critical writing and experimental pedagogy. The six curatorial nuclei reactivate a series of boards composed by documentation, audiovisual material and objects kept in the Samsonite portfolio that Herrera used to carry, and as a materialist reading of his work at the time of the implementation of the FTA, with its effects on the working class and the traveling economy.
