My article “Se compran colchones…” Informal Labor and Contemporary Mexican Art has been published in No. 118 (2025): The Art–Labour Relationship in Contemporary Art, edited by Lina Michelkevičė and Edgaras Gerasimovičius.
The article examines the relationship between informal labor and contemporary Mexican art from the 1970s to the present, tracing a trajectory from early art collectives and street-based interventions to later practices engaging precarity and informality as critical tools. It identifies a rupture in the work of Mauricio Limón de León, where informal labor becomes a comprehensive analytical framework for understanding modern Mexican society.
The article appears in Acta Academiae Artium Vilnensis (AAAV), a diamond open-access, peer-reviewed journal published by the Vilnius Academy of Arts, dedicated to art history, contemporary art, visual culture, and artistic research.
