Radiograbadoras y Otros Derivados is a catalog of the exhibition presented by the artist Cisco Jiménez at the Museum of the City of Cuernavaca [MuCiC] of the Cuernavaca City Council in 2017. Drawing from the divide between contemporary art and folklore art, Cisco utilizes witty humor and a broad color palette to balance the visual action of political criticism and social malevolence that plagues the Americas. And in the tradition of Mexican popular art, he uses the word as an educational, political, religious, or commercial element in his works, creating his icons and naming his creations with humorous neologisms. Humor and paradox are constant in Latin American life, as in the case of Mexico. With spirit comes the political criticism and social resentment that become the binding element in Jimenez's practice.
