ISBN: 8475066496 ISBN-13: 9788475066493 Publisher: Turner OUR PRICE: $44.96 Product Type: Paperback Published: August 2004 Annotation: Throughout eight years of existence, La Panaderia served Mexico City as a vibrant non-profit space for exhibitions, residencies, and cultural events involving local and international artists. This retrospective catalogue exists as a collective testimony on the artistic productions and exhibitions that resulted from the space, which was founded in 1994 in a former bakery by local artists Yoshua Okon and Miguel Calderon. Here young artists were invited to exhibit video, photography, installation, and performance based works, but the space was also characterized by parties and concerts, reflecting a lifestyle and a social dynamic that opposed a rigid set of paradigms which dictated how art should be. "La Panaderia: 1994-2002 presents a selection of 60 exhibitions by foreign and Mexican contemporary artists via photographic documentation, brief descriptive texts, and ephemera such as invitations. Critical texts consider the relevance of the space, while anecdotes from artists and visitors pay testimony to it. Artists represented here include Carlos Amorales, Chris Johanson, Emily Jacir, Francis Alÿ s, Gelatin, Kirsten Stoltmann, Las ultrasonicas, Minerva Cuevas, Semefo, Shepard Fairy, and Uri Tzaig. The book is accompanied by a CD with music by Silverio. |

| Publisher Description: Throughout eight years of existence, La Panader a served Mexico City as a vibrant non-profit space for exhibitions, residencies, and cultural events involving local and international artists. This retrospective catalogue exists as a collective testimony on the artistic productions and exhibitions that resulted from the space, which was founded in 1994 in a former bakery by local artists Yoshua Okon and Miguel Calder n. La Panader a emphasized, by way of its inherent nature, the integration of eclectic marginal practices. Young artists were invited to exhibit video, photography, installation and performance-based works, but the space was also characterized by parties and concerts, reflecting a lifestyle and a social dynamic that opposed a rigid set of paradigms which dictated how art should be. La Panader a: 1994-2002 is a visual and theoretical digest representative of the national and international art scene, presenting a selection of 60 exhibitions by foreign and Mexican contemporary artists via photographic documentation, a brief descriptive text, and ephemera such as invitations.

Dozens of artists are represented here, including Carlos Amorales, Chris Johanson, Emily Jacir, Francis Alÿs, Gelatin, Kirsten Stoltmann, Las ultras nicas, Luis Felipe Ortega, Miguel Calder n, Minerva Cuevas, Semefo, Shepard Fairey and Uri Tzaig.
