Curated by Klaus Biesenbach

Forget Paris—and New York and London. Think Kwangju, Havana, and Tirana: dynamic cities where politics, class, and the market are in constant flux. This may spell bad news when it comes to living, but it’s ideal for making art. Or so argues P.S. 1 curator Klaus Biesenbach, whose exhibition considers one such locale, Mexico City. Biesenbach’s well-timed show examines the heady, often conflicted dialogue between the teeming, difficult, extraordinary city and the artists who live and work there, including Francis Alÿs, Miguel Calderón, Gabriel Kuri, and Daniela Rossell.
