Made in Mexico
UNITED STATES BOSTON • Institute of Contemporary Art • Ongoing |

Made in Mexico investigates different views of Mexico, its history, and the way it is perceived by the rest of the world, as it contrasts the work of the current generation of Mexican artists with that of artists from around the globe.
The exhibition presents the work of the Mexican artists Eduardo Abaroa, Claudia Fernández, Teresa Margolles, Gabriel Orozco, Damián Ortega, Pedro Reyes, Sebastián Romo, and Daniela Rossell along with long-time resident artists Francis Al˙s, Thomas Glassford, Santiago Sierra, and Melanie Smith. Made in Mexico also includes the work of non-resident artists—Andrea Fraser, Erik Göngrich, Terence Gower, Andreas Gursky, Mona Hatoum, Sharon Lockhart, Yasumasa Morimura, and Anton Vidokle—whose work does not necessarily come out of a local experience yet draws upon a distinctly Mexican vernacular, whether iconographic, architectural, or environmental.
