I Am Not Your Mexican are two concurrent group exhibitions at Ruiz-Healy Art's San Antonio and New York City galleries. The exhibitions are curated by writer Eduardo Egea and feature artists Jesse Amado, Mathias Goeritz, Hersúa, Willy Kautz - Jippies Asquerosos, Fernando Polidura, and Teresa Serrano. The exhibitions will include historical works by Goeritz, Hersúa, and Serrano.
Eduardo Egea notes, “Western Art built an artistic canon that influenced the rest of the world. Minimalism is one of the Post-War movements whose influence continues; within this movement the artist Eva Hesse created a Post-Minimalism practice that laid the foundation for its expansion. But how have artists from other latitudes dealt with the overwhelming dominance of Western contemporary art? Assimilating and transforming these influences, México has been, for decades, a rich laboratory to subvert Minimalism through Post-Minimalist practices that seek to give meaning to the timeless but rigid Minimalist geometric forms of which this exhibition gives an account.”
