A Mexican Museum of Modern Art: A Project by Franco Mondini-Ruiz


April 28–June 30, 2007

Opening reception:
Friday April 27, 2007
6-8 pm

Contemporary artist Franco Mondini-Ruiz has created a site-specific installation with a humorous twist by commissioning piñata makers from his hometown of San Antonio, Texas to copy masterpieces of modern and contemporary art.

This exhibition is in conjunction with The Newark Museum’s historical exhibition Mexicana: Discovering Mexican Popular Arts, 1919–1950.
