RAUL GUERRERO
About the exhibition cycle
Attention
The series of four exhibitions at Plataforma, Attention, is the result of multiple studio visits in Los Angeles, San Diego, Tijuana and Guadalajara. Far from imposing a narrative, this curatorial cycle proposes an open discussion between artists, geographies and languages to highlight the power of cross-reference as well as the direct experience of art.
The two group shows, as well as the two solo shows, reveal the unexpected affinities that come from singular practices. Attention oscillates between receptive attention and the urgent need to look, think and feel.
Rather than illustrating a fixed idea, the selection seeks to make itself an accessible meeting point, without either neutrality or imposed certainties. In a context where curatorial judgment can be seen as intrusive, this project hopes to harness the external but committed gaze that observes without feeling a need to define. Attention, in the end, is an invitation to experiment without prejudice.
About RAUL GUERRERO
Curator: Sacha Craddock
Curatorial cycle: Attention
Plataforma presents Raul Guerrero's first solo institutional exhibition in Mexico, curated by Sacha Craddock. Guerrero’s highly distinguished career bridges and encompasses a range of approaches, sometimes with a humorous integration of language. This exhibition focuses on the way that varying references, powers, and layers of visual language can converge, with painting, in the same place by the same hand. Forever investigating the relationship between advertising, portraiture, indigenous art, and film, from both Mexico and the US, as well as the Americas, the artist creates work that acknowledges the inevitable power of visual language to represent as well as conceal various pasts.
