Description of a Journey:

Exhibition Subtitle

Art and the Contemporary Narrative

• Rubén Ángeles
• Carmen Chami
• José Antonio Farrera
• Elvira Sarmiento
• Alejandra Zermeño

The exhibition reflects upon the physical, emotional and metaphorical experiences that arise through the journey and the narrative.  Sponsored by the Mexican Consulate General, the exhibition celebrates the bicentennial of the country’s independence and the centennial of the Mexican Revolution.

A journey has always brought rigged and everlasting emotions and experiences; suppose that leaving is the start of another reality and arriving is the climax of this; leaving, traveling, moving, changing, heading to be another, another in time and space, another in  circumstance and concept. Inspired by literature in the theme of an immediate journey, the artists dare to make a journey in which the ticket is the novel of a journey and in which their bags must be filled only with the seduction of their words and their artistic work. From the Odyssey as the mother of voyage books, to the novels of Hemingway, and Conrad the great journeys have been a source of reflection in all senses. Why not represent this in visual art?

This current project leads to the realization of the exposition which is the Description of a journey. Art and contemporary narrative where the artists Rubén Ángeles, Carmen Chami, José Antonio Farrera, Elvira Sarmiento, y Alejandra Zermeño present the conclusion about the theme that revolves around their personal experiences, in the complicity and affair that arises through the narrative.
