| Neo-corny: artists who truly know how to love |
|
During the early nineties there where several artist run galleries eat the Colonia Condesa. One day we decided to collaborate and form the Condesa Cultural Cicuit. As well as proposing joint projects, we held simultaneous openings. Our first exhibition, Neo-cursi: artistas que realmente saben amar, took place on February 16, 1991 and it opened at Los Caprichos, Foco, el Centro Cultural Unicornio Blanco, Escuela Decroly and Pinto mi Raya. We decided to celebrate Valentine´s Day with an exhibition where couples presented their work and each gallery had a special event. Foco, for example, printed commemorative beer labels. The kids from Decroly made installations at the school and a street performance. We had a special series of love letters and our private "love boat" which was a decorated public transportation van taking people from one gallery to the other. 30 couples participated in this exhibition, among them: Gabriel Macotela and Yani Pecanins, Miriam Méndez y Renato González, Marisa Lara and Arturo Guerrero, Patricia Salas y Adolfo Mexiac, Nauh Senil and Gerardo Vilchis, Masha Zepeda and Mauricio Sandoval, Froylán Ruiz and Carlos Guerrero, Irma Palacios and Francisco Castro Leñero and Diana and Jorge Morquecho.Tablitaco, our local taco restaurant, sponsored the cocktail.
