Anna Indych López’s Mexico City: Spatial Politics in Art at the Turn of the Twenty-First Century will examine works by artists who, in the early 2000s, used Mexico City as a medium to investigate urban economies of knowledge, including the unrecognized agency and heterodox creativity of city dwellers.
