The line takes us through their folds and extensions, and over to the pages which will be swarming with bugs!

        Animales en el aire de papel (Paper's animals in the air)

        by Manuel Marín

        Paper is not a boring surface if the chicharreta, lilibela, or totoleta wait to be detached, folded and bent to reveal their tridimensional volume, their balance and dimension in space. They allow us to reflect on and understand the role they play in the artistic creation of space and shape. It’s an experience that brings us closer to the basic elements of modern art.

        Las cosas de Orozco siempre piensan de otra manera (Orozco’s Objects Always Think Otherwise)

        by Manuel Marín, José Clemente Orozco

        “José Clemente Orozco realized that objects and animals see us with other faces, and he drew the sensations produced by these gazes, as seen in his sketches in this book,” says Marín. Orozco paints objects, shows that they are useful artifacts for seeing things like sensations. They are rare, and their uses aren’t what they should be.
