Visual Bipolarity
Visual Bipolarity, presented at Museo del Estanquillo in Mexico City, offers a critical re-reading of over four decades of collaborative practice by Los Siamés (Marisa Lara and Arturo Guerrero). Bringing together nearly 300 works across painting, drawing, sculpture, printmaking, installation, photography, and performance, the exhibition examines their method of co-creation as a challenge to individual authorship and cultural hierarchies. Situated between popular culture and institutional art, their work engages urban memory, ritual, and embodied experience as forms of knowledge production. Through a sustained dialogue with the archive and legacy of Carlos Monsiváis, Visual Bipolarity positions artistic practice as a site where collective identity, cultural resistance, and aesthetic experimentation intersect.
