In the morning of the fourth day I completed and published the Spotify playlist for the Museo Leonora Carrington.
In the afternoon Antonio and I went to explore the city centre. He took me round all the main tourist sites and pointed out things of cultural interest.
We visited the Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de San Luis Potosí where I met the Director Aldo Arellano Paredes who was extremely welcoming. We talked about my practice, visit and research. I discovered that he had just taken over the role as Director and his first show was a group exhibition of the Museo’s collection. He explained that each artist who had exhibited there had been invited to donate a work to the Museo and this exhibition was a result of this. The Museo space was very large and impressive with a huge roof terrace. It was a typical white cube space although for this exhibition some of the walls had been painted in very dark colours. According to Antonio this is Aldo’s curating style which I thought lent itself well to works on display.
