“Love Thy” Recap at Maia Contemporary in Mexico City

 

It’s been two weeks since I got back from Mexico City for my show “Love Thy” at MAIA Contemporary. The city and people are so lovely. I was also lucky enough to have my Samurai sculpture on display at Zonamaco, one of the premier Latin American art fairs, alongside work by Lucien Shapiro, Sabino Guisu, Alexis Ciler and Pedro Friedeberg. I suggest checking them out if you are not already familiar with them.

Getting this show together was an enormous challenge. Turns out shipping realistic firearms and lifesize horse sculptures from the US into Mexico can be tricky. Despite near defeat at the hands of Mexican customs, the show came together beautifully with help from my friends at MAIA. Opening night was incredible; hundreds came through and had a lot of very interesting things to share about the work. “Love Thy” shows through March 22, so please stop by if you happen to be in Mexico City.
