Abstract Possible: The Tamayo Take, Museo Tamayo. Mexico City, MX. 25 March – 28 August, 2011. [curated by Maria Lind]
From the press release: “The second iteration of the ambitious multi-venue project Abstract Possible: The Tamayo Take, conceived by Stockholm-based curator Maria Lind, is presented as part of the series Minor Histories Larger Worlds, which, from the perspective of contemporary art, gathers and reevaluates moments, ideas, characters and works from the past that have been placed at the margin or left outside of the official narratives of History. Within this context, the group show Abstract Possible reconsiders certain crucial aspects of the phenomena of abstraction as manifested in contemporary art. The works in Abstract Possible explore and complicate three main strands of abstraction: formal abstraction, economic abstraction and withdrawal.”
Participating artists: Doug Ashford, Claire Barclay, Jos Len Cerrillo, Matias Faldbakken, Claudia Fernandez, Goldin+Senneby, Liam Gillick, Wade Guyton, Gunilla Klingberg, David Maljkovi, Mai-Thu Perret, Seth Price, Walid Raad, Emily Roysdon, Ultra-red and Anton Vidokle.”
