Mexico City Art Exhibition Explores the 'Icononomy' of Our Digital Age

Mexico City Hosts Thought-Provoking Art Exhibition: 'El (Super)mercado de lo Visible' Mexico City is currently hosting a unique art exhibition, "El (super)mercado de lo visible," at the MUCA Roma. This exhibition, curated by Julien Devaux, challenges viewers to consider our contemporary relationship with images in the digital age. The exhibition features a diverse range of artists and styles, creating a dynamic and thought-provoking experience. One of the featured artists, Mariana Dellkamp, presents an installation that uses everyday objects to highlight the effects of consumerism. As curator Julien Devaux explains, "Dellkamp's work forces us to confront the sheer volume of images we encounter daily." Another artist, Pierre Valls, offers a stark contrast with his stunning photographs of the Arctic, raising questions about the limits of human exploration and our impact on the environment. The exhibition's title, "El (super)mercado de lo visible," itself suggests an abundance and a certain chaos. Devaux explains, "It's a bit like a supermarket, with its overabundance and exchangeability, a reflection of social media." The exhibition is not only visually stunning but also intellectually stimulating, prompting viewers to consider the implications of this "icononomy" in our lives. The exhibition runs until June 14, 2025, offering a valuable opportunity for art enthusiasts and anyone interested in the intersection of art and contemporary culture to engage with these important themes.
