Stand No. EJ40 – ZonaMaco Ejes sector 

FEB 8-12 2023 / CENTRO CITIBANAMEX

Av. del Conscripto 311, Lomas de Sotelo

Miguel Hidalgo, 11200, Mexico City

We are pleased to announce our participation at Zona Maco art fair taking place from February 8th-12th at Centro Citibamex in Mexico City. We will be presenting the Case Study series (2018-2022) by Serbian artist Biljana Đurđević and Battle Cry series (2019 -2022) by Spanish artist Daniel Garcia Andujar.

Presented as part of Đurđevic`s solo show at the Museum of Contemporary Art Belgrade, the Case Study series reflects on authoritarian regimes, surveillance, the exercise of power and the conditions of labor. Drawing from George Orwell’s 1984 novel that adorns Đurđevic`s work, there is a strong aesthetic and narrative in her oeuvre.

Daniel Garcia Andujar’s Battle Cry series examines how in a world saturated with images, media hits all kinds of advertising intrusions and how marketing techniques of political propaganda have evolved and have been personalized through sophisticated algorithms that allow our governments and institutions, political power, power in general, to continue filtering their propaganda as a global channel of imposition for interpellation, hegemony and homogeneity.

We hope to see you at Zona Maco 2023, Stand EJ40, ZonaMaco Ejes sector!
