In her new solo show “4
Meters,” Professor Beatriz Cortez explores
how everything is in a process of transformation: flowing,
moving, changing, and falling apart. Cortez regards the sinking
of the Palacio de Bellas Artes in Mexico City as a metaphor for
impermanence. The surrounding Lake Texcoco aids this
transformation, resisting the cultural occupation of the
Palacio—the ultimate symbol of modernity—and measuring time by
the increasing depth of the spoils of colonialism it drowns.
