The present book is the outcome of the project curated by Willy Kautz that is part of the Programa de Pintura Contemporánea organized by ESPAC, an event that invited the public to rethink the relationship between the vanguards and the contemporary painting that has been produced in Mexico in recent times. The selection of artworks that made up the exhibition were conceived by means of affinities and counterpoints that "bet on a piled-up and/or juxtaposed assembly to invite the public to look among the paintings, to look for risky encounters, conceptual reunions, or, intuit narratives still to be formulated and that can be added to this open reflection on contemporary painting. On the other side with the Programa de Pintura Contemporánea that started in 2014, ESPAC confirms -alongside with other institutions- the initiation of a renovated interest for contemporary painting."
