Relaciones Públicas was founded in 2018 as a site-specific exhibition program and an agency for its fellow artists. It was born as a response to the curatorial necessities of the scene it belongs to and as an important catalyst in the creation of ambitious, experimental exhibitions, especially in the first years of the artists’ careers. RP is an entity that has built upon the agency of self-organization as a method for the accomplishment of independent, collaborative projects. RP depends on the support of sponsors for each one of its projects and continues to build a network of committed supporters. RP is an active participant in the changing needs of its generation, and it is known for its key curation of exhibitions.

Estación Material Art Fair

RP is excited to participate in the first edition of Estación Material, in collaboration with Sólida (Oaxaca), presenting works by José Eduardo Barajas, Luis Campos, Alejandro Villa Durán, Adrián Fierro, Samuel Guerrero, Streamweavers_ (estrid lutz & david broner) and Matías Solar.

The group of artists gathered together coincide in their interest in the relationship between the natural and the artificial; in the annulment of the distinction between the technological and the biological, exemplifying the integration of the notion of the Anthropocene to the current art scene. The properties of the native kingdoms of the planet Earth overlap with each other, blurring the boundaries that differentiate them, and intermingling with the fields of technology and the digital world.

The artists in our presentation work with a material reality that integrates synthetic raw materials  (nylon satin, epoxy resin, pyroxylin, fiberglass) and a new vocabulary and visual elements informed by critical stances elements informed by critical positions on a postcolonial, post-capitalist and anti-individualist present.

The presentation in Material celebrates what we identify as a new vernacular language of artists reappropriating elements of popular culture and translating a local present into a global dialogue.
An art that in its manifestations informs on the political conditions that affect us as a society, even in pieces that are less evidently political, and conscious of the political implication of the of conviviality.
