Liquid Tales Near the Coast: A Collective Exploration of Water through Art
At Careyes Foundation we recently concluded the exhibition Liquid Tales Near the Coast at the Careyes Art Gallery.
This art project was the second volume of a series of “Liquid Tales”, after a first exhibition called Liquid Tales Near a Lake curated by guadalajara90210, a contemporary art project from Mexico, and presented at the “González Gallo” Cultural Center in Chapala, in collaboration with MEG Museos de Jalisco.
The exhibition invited visitors to a unique open book concept, where each artist joined as a chapter of a collective story. From science to fiction, and through visual explorations, different periods and imaginaries intersect in the work of 10 artists: Sonia Bandura, Zazil Barba, Catalina Barroso Luque, Celestial Brizuela, Valentina Guerrero Marín, Denise Julieta, Chavis Mármol, Valeria Michelle, María Naidich, and Guadalupe Salgado, who have created a vast landscape significantly related to water.
These artists explored the notion of water's fluidity with different visual media, fusing some concepts and references of science fiction with artistic research that builds a cohesive story between different styles and aesthetic proposals. The result was an illustrated landscape extending through time and combining natural elements with art.
At Careyes Foundation we are very happy to have been part of this innovative project that left a lasting impression on all who saw and witnessed it.
We remain committed to the development of communities and artists through the exchange of knowledge, and a dialogue that inspires further reflection on nature and our responsibility to care for it.
