everything got mixed up with words

For the closing of the exhibition everything got mixed up with words, Galería Ana Tejeda invites you to a talk with Carmen Mariscal and Karen Cordero. Free admission | Cocktail reception 6:00 – 9:00 p.m.; talk at 7:00 p.m.

Mariscal's practice is linked to the exploration of intimacy and the experiences that traverse different forms of the feminine. Drawing from personal elements and narratives rooted in the everyday, her work opens a space to reflect on that which often remains outside the visible and the unspoken. The conversation will address the processes behind her work, as well as the intersections of memory, language, and experience that run through her practice.

everything got mixed up with words is a group exhibition with a gender perspective curated by Karen Cordero Reiman. Spanning painting, sculpture, drawing, installation, video, and photography, the exhibition brings together works by Deborah Castillo (Venezuela, 1971), Marianna Dellekamp (Mexico, 1968), Carmen Mariscal (USA/Mexico, 1978), Yohanna M. Roa (Colombia, 1978), Teresa Serrano (Mexico, 1936), and Marina Vargas (Spain, 1980). The show presents several works created specifically for the exhibition and articulates an intergenerational dialogue around everyday life and its political implications. From a feminist perspective, the exhibition proposes a critical reflection on the relationship between language and materiality, as well as on the ways in which words and objects shape bodily, affective, and social experiences in daily life. In the words of the curator, the artists brought together —working from diverse practices and visual languages— “point to both the power and the violent uses of words and things within patriarchal society,” while simultaneously resignifying them “to envision and configure —through creativity and resistance— other social models of coexistence and pleasure.”
