COMMUNITY AND COLLECTION AT THE CULTURAL INSTITUTE OF MEXICO
The Mexican Cultural Institute in Spain hosts the group exhibition En el interior del cielo, a show that gathers some of the most prestigious Mexican artists from the collection of Lorena Pérez-Jácome and Javier Lumbreras.
This selection, curated by Aldones Nino, serves as a line of argument for the investigation of different themes, from those that deal with the concept of territory to those that surround the processes of writing.
Under this premise, and joined by the inspiration of the exhibition's homonymous poem, which constitutes a reference to pre-Hispanic thought, the works of Carlos Amorales, Damián Ortega, Elizabeth Calzado, Jorge Méndez Blake, Abraham Cruzvillegas Juan Pablo Macias, Mariana Castillo Deball, Mario Garcia Torres, Ricardo Rendón, Pepe Mar, Tania Pérez Córdova and Teresa Margolles acquire a special relevance as it is the first time that the collection is exhibited as a collective of the same nationality, being, in addition to this argumentative path, a good representation of the panorama of Mexican contemporary art.
En el interior del cielo can be visited until October 18 at the Cultural Institute of Mexico in Spain, Carrera de San Jeronimo, 46, Madrid, Spain.

GENESIS AND BORICUA RESONANCES IN REVOLÚ
The birth of a new collective is always good news, and it is so for several reasons. Firstly, because of the existence of collective dynamics that bring together different points of view and, second, because, in a didactic way, it contributes to illustrate and understand the current cartographies of art. For the Revolú collective, formed by Andrés Meléndez (San Juan, Puerto Rico, 1996), Miguel Ángel Feba (San Juan, Puerto Rico, 1994) and Marcos Daniel Vicéns (Bayamón, Puerto Rico, 1996), their first exhibition experience is the result of an artistic residency in which, almost blindly, they have been able to build those specific ties to start from the individual and reach the group identity.
MEMORY AND DIASPORA IN WIDLINE CADET
Widline Cadet (Pétion-Ville, Haiti, 1992) brings together in her life experience several of the aspects and themes that, perhaps, have inspired more production among all those curatorial lines with more presence. Her biography, constructed through childhood memories, the environment of a generation and a country marked by its own strong culture or the phenomena of emigration, constitutes the framework in which the photographer develops the practical integrity of her work.
