  • Gallery of Mexican Art
    V oices ofMerico /January • March, 1995 41 Gallery of Mexican Art n the early the 1930s, Carolina and Inés Amor decided to give Mexico City an indispensable tool for promoting the fine arts in whatI was, at that time, an unusual way. They created a space where artists not only showed their art, but could also sell directly to people who liked their work. It was a place which gave Mexico City a modem, cosmopolitan air, offering domestic and international collectors the work of Mexico's artistic vanguard. The Gallery of Mexican Art was founded in 1935 by Carolina Amor, who worked for the publicity department at the Palace of Fine Arts before opening the gallery. That job had allowed her to form close ties with the artists of the day and to learn about their needs. In an interview, "Carito" —as she was called by her friends— recalled a statement by the then director of the Palace of Fine Arts, dismissing young artists who did not follow prevailing trends: "Experimental theater is a diversion for a small minority, chamber music a product of the court and easel painting a decoration for the salons of the rich." At that point Carolina felt her work in that institution had come to an end, and she decided to resign. She decided to open a gallery, based on a broader vision, in the basement of her own house, which her father had used as his studio. At that time, the concept of the gallery per se did not exist. The only thing approaching it was Alberto Misrachi's bookstore, which had an The gallery has a beautiful patio.

  • Best Parks in Mexico City"
    "Best Parks in Mexico City" Erstellt von : Cityseeker 5 Vorgemerkte Orte Alameda Central "The Central Park of Mexico City" A pleasant respite from the hustle and bustle of the city, this charming green park has sparkling fountains, shady trees and interesting sculptures such as 'Malgre Tout' and 'Despoire', by Jesús Contreras. The park also has a monument dedicated to Beethoven in commemoration of the centenary of the Ninth Symphony, which was donated by the German by Bodhisattwa community. This recreation space for the local populace was created in 1592 and few city parks guard such hidden history in its landscape, such as being the former site of the Inquisition's burning of heretics. A typical Mexican Sunday can be enjoyed at the Alameda Central, which often has live music, along with markets and food stalls. +52 55 5278 4200 (Tourist Information) Avenida Hidalgo y Avenida Juárez, Mexiko-Stadt Parque Zoológico de Chapultepec "Famous For Pandas" The pre-Hispanic origins of this zoo date back to when the Aztec Nezahualcóyotl created this area for the population to enjoy the flora and fauna. It was meant not only for entertainment but also for medicinal, artistry, food provision and religious purposes. Today around 2,000 animals of some 260 species consider these 17 hectares (42 acres) their by ProtoplasmaKid natural habitat. Different biospheres have been recreated to make these guests feel more at home. Temperate woods of conifer trees shield the bears, deer and wolves; there are pastures for herbivores and deserts of arid and semiarid regions for other creatures; the Arctic tundra for the polar bears and even a coastal shore for sea lions.

  • Performing the Mexican Revolution in Neoliberal Times
    ABSTRACT Since the time of the Mexican Revolution of 1910, images associated with this nation-defining event have been presented in an array of media and cultural productions. Within the past two decades these images have been re-imagined, re-coded and re/de- constructed in reaction to social and cultural changes associated with a crisis of political legitimation and the demise of hegemonic revolutionary ideology, as espoused by the long-ruling Party of the Institionalized Revolution (PRI), amid the generalized implementation of neoliberal policies in the county. My dissertation argues that the ascendance of neoliberalism, with the opening of Mexican economic and political systems, has resulted in changes in the socio-cultural work performed by the Revolution- Nation-Gender triad. This trinity, solidified in the post-Revolutionary national imaginary, weaves the three notions together such that as hegemonic discourses of Revolutionary nationalism enter in crisis, discourses of gender are also destabilized. The dissertation consists of three main sub-arguments. First, I argue that the discourse(s) surrounding Revolutionary heroes has been integral to the (re)definition of the Mexican nation and that analyzing recodings of this discourse through the example of Emiliano Zapata reveals a destabilization of hegemonic nationalism. These changes have allowed alternatives to surface both in Mexico and across the border as part of a recoded ii transnational Revolutionary nationalism. As cracks opened in the Revolutionary edifice allowing alternatives to emerge, they have also opened space for alternative gender discourses. I next argue that a close analysis of representations of masculine gender roles as manifested in a variety of cultural texts, specifically through Revolutionary icons Pancho Villa and Emiliano Zapata, reveals a crisis of the macho archetype in the contemporary Mexican nation.

  • Mexican Mural Movement
    he Mexican Mural ovement E .'v1EXICAN muralists produced the greatest public revolutionary of this century, and their influence throughout Latin America - t recently in the wall paintings in Nicaragua - has been far­ hing and continuous. There was a time, during the 1930s; when . as also felt in Britain, and in the USA, but since then they have -ely entered artistic discourse.1 ,\ major difficulty is that of adequately presenting the murals ~~mselves, for although portable murals were produced, they can- give a sense of the work in its setting. Murals were painted all ·er M exico in different kinds of sites: gracefu l colonial church .d palaces, the patios of ministerial buildings, schools, town halls d museums, in positions ranging from dark and awkward stair­ es to the prominent fo;:ades of modern buildings. The muralists were the most vigorous and creative of the cultural anguard of revolutionary Mexico, with a powerful sense of the cial value of their art. The violent revolt in 1910 against the regime f Porfirio Dfaz had blazed on and off for ten years, during which me the President's chair in Mexico was often vacant. A cataclys­ -1ic event, never full y harnessed to any single programme or set of Jlterests- though Zapata's struggle for agrarian reform in Morelos was and remained a fundamental issue - the Revolution brought a new consciousness to Mexico. 2 The inauguration of the former revolutionary leader Alvaro Obregon as President, in 1920, in­ tia ted a period of hope and optimism in which the mural move­ ment was born.
