Manuel Felguérez. El futuro era nuestro
Felguérez was a painter and sculptor who was prone to constant evolution, encompassing murals with waste materials, contributions to the avant-garde theater of Alejandro Jodorowsky, pioneering experiments with the computer as a creative tool and an allegiance to the idea of research as a platform for artistic creation.
This publication celebrates Felguérez’s contributions on several planes. It includes a substantial testimony on the artist’s memory through a conversation with the critic Cuauhtémoc Medina and includes a detailed account of his final exhibition—Trajectories (2019-2020)—in the voice of its curator, Pilar García. Ángel Miquel, Daniel Montero and Manuel Felguérez himself provide essays on the relationship between science fiction, film and the rupture aesthetic and episodes of the artist’s life are captured by Rogelio Cuéllar, Javier Hinojosa and Francisco Kochen. The volume also includes a selection of previously- unpublished sketches that Felguérez produced in meetings and bureaucratic sessions. All of this material, in its many dimensions, expresses the “party spirit” that defined Manuel Felguérez’s adventure in Mexican culture.
