Pequod Co. is pleased to present Géneros Arcanos, the second exhibition by Mauricio Limón de León, which will take place in an alternative space located at Naranjo #141, Santa María la Ribera, starting on Thursday, September 4.
The exhibition delves into the development of collaborative designs, where painting, performance, cartography, and image engage in dialogue. In this body of work, Limón draws on different currents of modern art; each piece engages in dialogues ranging from the geometric rigor of the De Stijl and Bauhaus movements to the performative minimalism of Samuel Beckett. This approach, which originated during the artist's time living in Paris, seeks to vindicate the artisanal process and transcend the limits of fashion, emphasizing craftsmanship and materiality.
The project will be accompanied by an activation by the Mexican collective Nephilas, which reflects on the boundaries between the body and clothing. In the artist's words:
“More than an exhibition about fashion or design, I think of Géneros Arcanos as a body of work about transformation and ritual, where clothing becomes skin, stained glass becomes body, and space is redefined with every gesture.”
Important note: The exhibition will not take place at our space at Lancaster 29 in Juárez, but at Naranjo #141, in Santa María la Ribera.
