CASA MEZCAL / GALERIA ZANATE
PRESENTA: DAMIAN SIQUEIROS:
LIFE AS A PERFORMANCE
Curated by Las Bellas Artes- NEW YORK, NY
A photographic series that belongs to the Life as an everyday performance project, gets its name from the trademark date for society to dictate what a couple should be. Damián Siqueiros uses digital photography as a medium to erase the boundaries between reality and fiction. His work thus produces images that are reminiscent of the aesthetics of Romantic paintings through processed light or the mise en scene of his characters. With Life as a performance, Damián explores the influence of society and religious institutions on a couple’s identity, construction, and perception. It seeks to create a dialogue between viewer and image, and bring into question one’s own identity; he continues his research on the use of the archetypical structures of classical painting in photography, to approach topics of relevance to contemporary society.
His formal language becomes both literal and metaphorical, as he works with the super-imposition of images and proposes identity (specially gender) as a “montage”. In the same line of thought, the change of perspective on the use of space is also a poetic way to express his will to make people reflect on how they see their own identity.
Of Mexican origin, Damián Siqueiros has already won numerous awards including the Coup de cœur award by Art Souterrain 2010, and he is one of the winners of the 2010 Xpose Canadian Association of Photographers and Illustrators in Communication (CAPIC) and Las Bellas Artes Art Contest 2009. Prestigious magazines including Vogue and Elle are using the aesthetic and artistic signature in their own photos.
Some of the work has been part of previous shows and some has been exclusively created for this exhibition. The exhibit design will be an installation in situ in the new gallery at Casa Mezcal and Michael Barakiva, theater director and producer, will present and introduce the artist and his work.

Monday - Closed

Open for Lunch & Dinner
“Casa Mezcal: Arte, Musica, Comida, Cine” is the joint vision of Guillermo Olguin, a well-known Mexican painter, and the young entrepreneur and restaurateur, Ignacio Carballido.
The bar integrates art, traditional Mexican food and of course, mezcal. Casa Mezcal integrates three key factors which separates it from other New York spots – the combination of art, food, music, cinema and drink. Artists from all corners of the world will be showcased including writers and poets, the independent cinema, and international music. A gallery will display art with an agenda that includes both launches and private parties. Casa Mezcal creates a special backdrop of an all-encompassing experience and coupled with a warm, familiar atmosphere.
Although Casa Mezcal serves traditional Oaxacan – a southwest region of Mexico – food with exotic dishes such as grasshoppers with melted cheese and tacos de cazuela with handmade tortillas; it also caters a more extended menu with a combination of American dishes and ingredients. It is basically an extension of the already successful Café El Portal.
The spirit is mezcal, a five hundred year old spirit, not previously recognized, rooted in historic spirit and tradition. It’s the first distilled drink made by the indigenous people in the south of Mexico. This sipping drink comes from the agave plant which takes nine to seventeen years to mature. The result is a smooth drink full of minerals.
The house of Mezcal embraces the tradition of this ancestral beverage, delivering its unique flavors, images and scents to those who fall under its spell....

OBRA NEGRA
Están por llegarle a una obra que empezó como negra, tal cual debe ser para el caso, el Salón Central de Oaxaca que ahora se instala como Casa Mezcal en Nueva York.
Obra negra evoca ese “bellísimo mito” sólo posible en ese otro mito hermosísimo que es el arte.
Por eso, obra negra es origen y marca de identidad del Salón Central y Casa Mezcal. Porque obra negra era el taller del pintor Guillermo Olguín cuando se convirtió en el Salón Central. Obra negra son los trazos al carbón del bosquejo de Casa Mezcal que nos presenta. Y obra negra es la vida de esa especie de autoexiliados repatriados, fotógrafos, cineastas, pintores, antropólogos, poetas, colgados, alucinados, noctámbulos, cronopios, vagabundos que conforman su fauna urbana. Aunque colectivo, el proyecto nació de la inconformidad existencial e individual del pintor Guillermo Olguín, nacido en el Distrito Federal, de padre oaxaqueño y madre estadounidense, y radicado en Oaxaca. Estuvo fuera de México mucho tiempo, estudió en Seattle, Estados Unidos, trabajó en restaurantes, expuso en cafés, galerías pequeñas y en su taller. Una vez al año regresaba al Distrito Federal, “me emocionaba llegar al centro histórico, me entregaba a los lugares populares nocturnos y de baile, en las madrugadas a los cafés de chinos y a los hotelitos con letreros de neón intermitentes que recordaban a los faros: el Salón los Ángeles, el Barba Azul, el Tropicana, Covachita Taurina, El Nivel, Ambos Mundos, la barrita del hotel Isabel. Seguido me acompañaba mi compadre Rigo Perezcano. El cine nos movía y soñábamos con crear algún lugar que nos transportará a esos ambientes de luces suaves y buena música de salón.
“En el centro de Oaxaca buscaba justo eso, un espacio que me recordara esa sensación de alberge, cerca del olor y movimiento del mercado y las cantinas, sin pretensiones y lejos de Los Arcos y la trova cubana que invadía los lugares rústicos y coloniales prefabricados donde había algo ficticio y vendido --igual que ahora--, porque el turismo empezaba llegar en camiones repletos y la ciudad comenzaba a transformarse para siempre”.
Encontró el lugar. Un viejo inmueble ubicado en el 302 en la calle Hidalgo con techos altos, ventanas rectangulares y pilares fuertes en medio. Estuvo dos años pintando en él, conociendo gente de por ahí. “Había un cuarto oscuro para foto y mucha pintura. Nos motivaba a todos la sensación de estar en un lugar compartido y con la misma ilusión de que faltaba un espacio independiente, no institucional y propositivo. Abrimos el 2 de noviembre de 2001.
“Las paredes estaban repelladas, había un altar de muertos hecho por los que andábamos en el proyecto; yo y Perezcano pusimos la música; las chelas se enfriaban con hielo en tinajas de aluminio, sólo teníamos mezcal y un vitrolero de mojitos espantosos; la barra eran dos mesas de madera que se quedaron del taller; el baño, compartido; el cover, de diez pesos; no existían ni
comandas, ni meseros, ni nada, estábamos todos en chinga loca por que se puso hasta la madre; todo mundo que vino esa noche la pasó de lo lindo, tampoco sabíamos que teníamos que cerrar. Al otro día, con el dinero juntado pintamos, pagamos a un albañil para que hiciera la barra y mandamos a hacerlas puertas de cantina, como homenaje al El Nivel del D.F.”
Ahora, nos cuenta desde la red Guillermo Olguín, “así está quedando el altar al mezcal en Nueva York, compadre, sólo que el proyecto es muy grande y la lana muy poca, pero estamos avanzando”.
