Gabriel Kuri: Soft Information in Your Hard Facts
Museion

The title of the exhibition “implies a state of lingering doubt”, observes Vincenzo de Bellis, the curator of this Mexican artist’s show at the Museion. A dialectic tension—physical, content-based, and semantic—runs through the exhibition, as a tool for meddling with the viewer’s beliefs. The catalogue reproduces the twenty works that create this path of precarious equilibrium between opposing conditions, rigidification and liquefaction. From the hard-edged, industrial Untitled (fridge trinity) in 2004 to the obstructed movement of Self Portrait as a retention and flow diagram 2 in 2009, and beyond.
