Blue Sky is pleased to announce the February exhibition: In My Mind There is Never Silence by Diego Moreno

First Thursday Opening: Feb 2 from 5 - 8 PM

Mexican photographer Diego Moreno’s In My Mind There is Never Silence integrates the ancestral imagery of 'the Mercedarian panzudo' figures that represent the sins in a Catholic tradition in his hometown of San Cristóbal de las Casas, Chiapas. For over 500 years, every September 24th, the day of Our Lady of La Merced, each family builds their own panzudo.

Traditionally panzudos’ excessive nature, strident costumes, and unknown powers materialize guilt and invisible sins. They are the scapegoats that carry in their deformity the mark of the evil of an entire genealogical line. In contrast, in Moreno's work these characters are familiar presences, subjects of affection and desire. He finds them a means to give voice and presence to a different corporeality while recalling childhood memories in which love, isolation, and fascination for the anomalous configured a particular vision of the world.

Gallery Hours: Wed - Sat, 12 - 5 PM
