Telmex Invaders by Tony Tacacci

TELMEX INVADERS [Tony Tacacci, Mayo 2008]


Aunque un trabajo Académico, destaca lo oportuno que se vuelve el trabajo de Tony Tacacci, quien comparte su percepción de los monopolios en México, específicamente el de Carlos Slim a través de una apropiación y reconfiguración de aquel juego clásico (Space Invaders).

Tercerunquinto. I Am What I Am



This is the first exhibition in the UK for Mexican collective Tercerunquinto (a third of a fifth). Artists Julio César Castro Carreón, Gabriel Cázares Salas and Rolando Flores Tovar bring their attention to bear on Ikon Eastside and its identity in a district undergoing regeneration. Characteristically concerned to establish a porous relationship between inside and outside, the artists have smashed through the gallery walls to open up a view of the urban landscape beyond.

During a residency in Eastside last year the artists documented traces left on recently abandoned buildings by former occupants, honing in on
bricked-up entrances, marks remaining after the removal of old signage or fissures caused by decay or vandalism. The inscription of language onto buildings particularly corresponds with Tercerunquinto’s established interest in institutional self-definition through architectonic modes. At Ikon Eastside, the cuts in the walls are designed to spell out the phrase ‘I am what I am’, an open yet ambivalent statement of identity. On the one hand an honest, even humble declaration it might equally be considered an unwillingness to bend. Tercerunquinto’s cutting through the gallery shell also reveals the fragility of an otherwise seemingly tough space. This gesture, though inspired by a local situation, signals a broader rupture between art and society inherent in modernity itself, while asserting the possibility of a very fluid exchange between institutions and their surroundings.
