Solo Exhibition in a residential house in London. Parte of the Dos Equis Series.
Childhood memories… a journey into the past… at once a creative and reconstructive process, as well as an inner voyage in search of the fears and joys that form our tender years.
Wish I were here consists of a body of newly commissioned work based in and around the metaphorical house of childhood memory, with each work delving into a separate memory or feeling recalled through that distant unknown, remembered gate.
The spectator is submerged into this world and led by the hand into a condition of complete simplicity regressing back to another time, another place, another self: And the end of all our exploring / Will be to arrive where we started / And know the place for the first time.
The Dos Equis Series was a series of collective and solo art exhibitions which featured emerging and exciting artistic talent from Mexico’s visual arts scene. Its basic premise was that the cultural scene in Mexico’s urban spaces – and in Mexico City specifically – is unique, offering an affordable and stirring environment in which contemporary artists can live and work, and that the work emerging from these spaces deserves attention. The series occupied alternative venues and spaces and invited artists were asked to produce new work to interact with the space and its motifs in an attempt to create a narrative within the chapters exhibited.
