{"product_id":"15261-teresa-margolles","title":"Teresa Margolles","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe work of Mexican artist Teresa Margolles (born in 1963) revolves around what is perhaps the last great taboo theme of our time: death. She is not interested in folklore and ritual but in the palpable reality of the corpse. \u0026quot;What does a corpse have to go through?\u0026quot; asks Margolles, who is also a forensic medical assistant and scholar in the field of communications. Employing a minimalist aesthetic, she transforms extinguished life, making it perceptible through artistic intervention and thus rescuing \u0026quot;her\u0026quot; decedents from anonymous oblivion. This first publication devoted to the art of Teresa Margolles presents a discussion of its position in art history by Gabriela Jauregui, concluding remarks by the Spanish artist Santiago Sierra, and a literary text by the Mexican killer-novel author Elmer Mendoza. His short crime story written in experimental prose offers impressions of life in Culiacán, one of the bastions of the narcotics business in Mexico.
