The Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de Tamaulipas (MACT) had the opening for two new shows last friday. "Provocando al Ojo" includes works from artists such as Joan Miró, Georges Braque, Joseph Albers, Vasarely, and Robert Indiana among others in which the viewer can admire samples of op art where color and shape play a decisive role. However, what ironically stood out the most from this opening was the show "Hecho y Des(h)echo" by Mexican artist Georgina Valverde, living and working in Chicago (with family members in Los Fresnos, TX) where she undoes and redoes from inorganic, disposed materials within a consuming society. Valverde gives these objects a new image and context by recycling and redoing in a clever, extraordinary way; among these are staples, beauty items, food containers, human hair, etc. With this she intends to invite the viewer to consider the excess and wasted material resulting from mass consumption and how this can be reverted. Both shows will be up until August. http://www.georginavalverde.com/
