Rafael Lozano-Hemmer
TECHS-MECHS
A Survey of Mexican Technological Culture
March 16 - May 31, 2023
Gray Area is pleased to present TECHS-MECHS: a new survey of ten works by renowned media artist Rafael Lozano-Hemmer.
Spanning immersive installations, kinetic sculptures, generative animations, and large-scale shadow theaters, TECHS-MECHS presents canonical works from the artist's oeuvre alongside a rich chronology of technological cultural history in the artist's native Mexico.
At the heart of this landmark exhibition is the West Coast premiere of "Pulse Topology" (2021), a monumental, participatory installation that represents the culmination of Lozano-Hemmer's most celebrated series of works activated by the human pulse, previously shown to great acclaim in Canada, Brazil, Switzerland and other countries.
The exhibition will open on March 16 with a performative reading of the manifesto Tech-illa Sunrise by Lozano-Hemmer and eminent performance artist and anti-border activist Guillermo Gómez-Peña.
