Monterrey’s Museum of Contemporary Art has been showcasing, since July 12, Ruta mistica (Mystic Route), a reassessment of the mysticism notion within the present Latin American context through the reflection made by ten artists, who look for new convincing ideological models and build their own identities and ways to establish a communication with the transcendental as they merge ancestral and new elements.
The collective exhibition includes artworks created by Alfadir Luna, Antonio Paucar, David Gremard Romero, Gabriel de la Mora, Gabriel Rossell Santillan, Marcos Castro, Maria Garcia-Ibañez, Miler Lagos, Pedro Reyes and Santiago Borja. With their drawings, paintings, pictures, installations, sculptures and videos, these artists have created mythologies and individual rites that express a critic to the globalization. Their works have plenty of symbols, stories and feelings that invite to question the spirituality beyond common meanings.
Since most of these artists are mainly characterized by their conceptual style, these approaches to the mysticism are the result of researches and the collection of information.
Ruta mistica will be open to the public until October 20, 2013.
