The Bienal has been presented at different sites in cities like Monterrey, Mexico City, Chihuahua, Guadalajara, Hermosillo, Leon, Tijuana, and Puebla, and seen by more than 400,000 people.
On the occasion of this tenth event, the exhibition presented at MARCO is made up of the following three criteria:
1. Works Selected for the Bienal X Following the notice about the competition, 1,441 artists entered 3,992 works. The highly qualified jury selected 82 works by 53 artists, which are presented in the exhibition.
2. Winning Works: Bienales I to IX Additionally, those works, which received the Great Acquisition Prize at the Bienales Monterrey FEMSA will be included in the exhibition to demonstrate the evolution of the proposals and discourses in contemporary Mexican art over the past twenty years.
3. Sextaniqatsi: Habitable Disorder The exhibition brings together eleven artists from nine Latin American countries: Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, and Venezuela. The show is a reflection on the relationship between order and chaos in the urban environment and the forms of informal self-organization to break away from rational modernist logic and its aesthetic, proposing new and positive ways of understanding the notion of urban chaos.
