Museo Jumex in Mexico City welcomes Guggenheim Ubs Map. Under the Same Sun: Art from Latin America Today

From November 19 through February 7, 2016, #museo Jumex presents #underthesamesun: Art from Latin America Today, the #guggenheim UBS MAP Global Art Initiative exhibition highlighting a vibrant selection of recently acquired works by 40 artists from 13 Latin American countries.
Launched in 2012, the #guggenheim UBS MAP Global Art Initiative is a collaboration between the Solomon R.
Guggenheim Museum and Foundation and financial services firm UBS aimed at bolstering access to and awareness of #contemporaryart from South and Southeast Asia, Latin America, and the Middle East and North Africa.
The exhibition will be accompanied by a wide variety of education and public programs—an important focus of the initiative and a cornerstone of UBS’s #contemporaryart platform—developed jointly by #museo Jumex and the #guggenheim. These will begin on November 19 at 6 pm with a conversation between Julieta González, #museo Jumex Chief Curator and Interim Director, and architect and exhibition designer Frida Escobedo. The discussion will be followed by a panel with artists Mariana Castillo Deball, Alejandro Cesarco, Rafael Ferrer, Amalia Pica, Mario García Torres, and Minerva Cuevas, moderated by González.
Damian Fraser, UBS Mexico Country Head, said, “The #guggenheim UBS MAP Global Art Initiative, which connects diverse audiences with artists, curators, and educators from three dynamic world regions, has become a leading example of what a truly global collaboration can achieve. The initiative’s presentation of #underthesamesun at #museo Jumex, with its range of artistic voices, calls for a dialogue among audiences in Mexico and adds to the country’s flourishing #contemporaryart scene.”
The exhibition, organized by Pablo León de la Barra, #guggenheim UBS MAP Curator, Latin America, in collaboration with colleagues at #museo Jumex, focuses predominantly on work made by artists born after 1968, and also includes several early pioneers who were first active internationally in the 1960s and ’70s. #underthesamesun features more than 45 works in a variety of media including painting, installation, performance, photography, sculpture, and video. The countries represented are: Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Cuba, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Peru, Puerto Rico, Uruguay, and Venezuela.
Mexico City-based architect Frida Escobedo created a dynamic exhibition design for the gallery spaces.
Artworks are also presented in the museum’s public areas, including a site-specific installation of Luis Camnitzer’s A Museum Is a School on the building’s façade; Paul Ramírez Jonas’ Another Day (2003) in the Museum lobby; and Rafael Ferrer’s Artforhum (1972) in the Museum store.
Under the Same Sun premiered at the #guggenheim Museum in #newyork in June 2014 and, following its presentation in Mexico City, will travel to the South London Gallery in June 2016.
