Mary - Museo Jumex

Eugenio López Alonso, pioneer in the realm of contemporary art collecting in Mexico.

Guided tours through our exhibitions with Museo Jumex education team.

Fundación Jumex Arte Contemporáneo was formally established on March 3, 2001 when Colección Jumex was exhibited for the first time at the Galería Jumex in Ecatepec.

Through its exhibitions and public programs, Museo Jumex aspire to become a relevant institution in the field of art. This is achieved through the production (and co-production with other institutions) of exhibitions and research projects that bring contemporary art practices closer to diverse audiences.

Fundación Jumex Arte Contemporáneo’s Grants & Scholarships program provides funding to individuals and institutions involved in contemporary art production, promotion and research.

The foundation’s library is one of the most extensive libraries in Mexico devoted to the research and study of modern and contemporary art.

Catherine Opie

Catherine Opie. Mary, 2012

Catherine Opie recalls the style of some Barroque paintings through her manipulation of light and shadow, as well as the characteristic hairstyle of Mary Kelly (the artist portrayed in this work). However, there is an aspect that does not completely agree with this type of work: Mary’s position in front of the camera, since she is facing away from the viewer. We propose the following:

Materials:

-Pencil and paper
- Cellular, tablet or portable camera
- 2 or more people

Steps:

Step One

Think of some important woman in your life, it could be your mom, your grandmother, your sister or a friend.

Step Two

Draw or describe a trait or gesture characteristic of her, for example, the color of her nails or the way she feels.
Or, if possible, take a picture showing these traits.

Step Three

Share your photo or drawing with more people, talk about the women you chose and think about whether there are similarities or differences between them.

Analyze, what characteristics make the women around you unique? We would love to see your photos and drawings! Share them with us by tagging us on Facebook: Fundación Jumex Arte Contemporáneo or Instagram: @museojumex
