The Retinal Umbilical Cord
ESPAC
Jul. 2, 2025 - Nov. 17, 2018
The Retinal Umbilical Cord is a project from ESPAC’s Contemporary Painting Program, curated by Willy Kautz. Open to the public from June to November 2018, this proposal includes four successive exhibitions, as well as a public program of talks and workshops, that culminates in a critical publication.
The exhibitions, Lyric Concretism, Pictoconstructions, Pictorial Ontologies and Footnotes. Beginnings of the ESPAC Collection, conceived as thematic essays, take into consideration 56 artists with more than 70 artworks. Throughout the project, different public activities will be taking place to expand and deepen the reflections on painting in Mexico after the nineties.
