On social media, Mexico art week appears to be one big party. Mexico is the place to be for the global art community during that week.  In the weeks that follow, the party is seen in a different light. Along with the observation about the absence of the big galleries at the fair, and the feeling that the collectivity that characterized Mexico's art scene has been lost, a customs corruption scandal surfaced: the importation of artworks from foreign galleries participating in the fair was only expedited in exchange for a "mordida" (bribe). A news item that did not make it to the pages of international newspapers.
In this podcast, we are joined by Ximena Apisdorf, who - with an incredible sense of humor - will guide us through the post-week of art in Mexico in a cultural scene that has been transformed by the discourses of cultural policies, or rather by the absence of them. A cultural scene that revaluates malinchismo (Mexican openness and fascination with the foreign) in the face of social phenomena such as gentrification.
