Folio 021 Pola Weis. La TV te ve TV Sees You TV Sees You proposes to approach the work of Pola Weiss through the lens of television. In her work, Weiss not only manifested enduring interests in the content and the form of video, but also in the contexts of its consumption, the phenomenological experience of its diffusion, and the kinds of social relations generated by these enviromments and experiences. The exhibition offers a selection of videos, posters, photographs and other materials from the Fondo Pola Weiss, addressing the relationship between video and television from various angles. Pola Weiss (Mexico City, 1947-1990). Was an experimental artist and pioneer of video art in Mexico. She completed undergraduate studies in Communications Sciences at the unam, where she began to experiment with video, which later became her most important medium of artistic work. As a student, she was active in the television industry, collaborating on scripts for television and documentaries, an experience that would influence her in the future. In 1977, she participated in the 9th International Video Art Festival that took place in Mexico City at the Museo de Arte Carrillo Gil, with her video Flor Cósmica. From that moment on, Weiss continued to participate in several art festivals. Her production was characterized by its experimental look. Many of her videos included different techniques: chromatic alterations and psychedelic aesthetics.
