Brooklyn Street Art /// 12Mexican street artists stray far from muralism tradition in NYC
NYC /// It was a real honor to be interviewed by Brooklyn Street Art, one of the most respected street arts forums world wide, and mostly to read such a nice options about the show beening "an important inclusion in the story telling as the global street art explosion is re-defining how we look at public aesthetic discourse and public art making. A clear break has been made from the heralded lineage of Mexican muralism and this small show may be the first concentrated collection that demonstrates how far the new kids are wandering." 12 Mexican Street Artist is a collective show curated by Luis Accorsi, Christophe von Hohenberg and Edgar A. Reyes.
[…] "You may think that this (UNDO) is a rebel who is eager to vandalize, but his social conscience tells him just the opposite when it comes to illegal walls. “It is attractive to think about it, you know, because of the rush of the adrenaline but the idea of tagging – I like that others do that but I don’t feel comfortable to trespass on other people’s walls,” he explains.

The Architecture of Tomorrow /// Mexico to Bed-Stuy article
NYC /// In the art and culture journal AoT's article Mexico to Bed-Stuy by mister Douglas Turner make some reflections about the interventions made by Bebo, Fusca, Sego and UNDO VisualThinkng on Bed-Stuy, (Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn) and about the Dorian Grey Gallery's 12 Mexican Street Artists collective show curated by Luis Accorsi, Christophe von Hohenberg and Edgar A. Reyes.
[…] "I imagine being from a culture that holds tight to tradition, can make it a challenge to free yourself from something as enigmatic as traditional culture. Engaging with the old, and creating what is new. Art for art sake, art for protest, art for visual philosophical explorations. Interior and exterior dialogues. Most challenging, is the ability to do so with grace—for Bebo the fox who does what it wants when it wants; Fusca for her rounded forms full of life and sensuality; Sego and Saner for skeletal remains that give life to new forms; Undo for his shimmering golden eagles. This is the work of grace in the face of change." —Douglas Turner

Who is really the terrorist? /// intervention and installation
Mexico /// After its exhibit period was done, UNDO VisualThinking's installation and mural intervention Who is really the terrorist? was connected with another seis por seis curatorial idea, an intervention series by the local street artists Haciendose visible, Flujo Visuals and Mecamutanterio, in which Who is really the terrorist? was considered as the starting point. The action consisted in replicate the street tagging process, by painting over and over at each other, the messages and images get so decontextualized until it becomes abstract noise or useless textures, in the end, visual artist Jorge Nájera painted back white the gallery.
