Folio 031 Sarah Minter. ojo en rotac ión. Imágenes en movimiento 1981-2015 Rotating Eye. Images in Motion 1981-2015 Within early experimental film practices in Mexico, Sarah Minter is among the pioneers whose artistic output has remained active since the 1980s. Rotating Eye: Sarah Minter, Images in Motion 1981-2015, is the first retrospective exhibition of this artist who, throughout her entire career, has developed a body of work that influences the singular points of the individual as subjectivity’s generative root. Her work also responds to the interests of the curatorial program at the University Museum of Contemporary Art (in Spanish, muac) by offering new explorations of local work during recent decades, as well as by contributing to the historiography of artistic and contemporary processes in Mexico—which, together, have helped facilitate the incorporation of technology and digital media through artistic training and that of new consumption spaces for the medium. Sarah Minter (Puebla, Mexico, 1953). A central figure in Mexican video art. She began to create videos, 16mm films, and video installations in the early 1980s, such as San Frenesí (Saint Frenzy, 1983), Nadie es Inocente (No One Is Innocent, 1987), MEX-METR (1987), Alma Punk (Punk Soul, 1991-1992), El aire de Clara (Clara’s Air, 1994-1996), and Intervalos (Intervals, 2001-2004). Starting in the 1990’s, and in parallel to her artistic output, she led various pedagogical and circulation-related initiatives that focused on video, such as “La sala del deseo” (“The Hall of Desire”) at the Centro de la Imagen (Image Center) and a video workshop at the Cenart’s Escuela de Pintura, Escultura y Grabado (School of Painting, Sculpture, and Engraving), “La Esmeralda.” Artist: Sarah Minter Authors: Cecilia Delgado Masse, Sol Henaro, Karla Jasso, Pablo Cayetano Hernández, Jesse Lerner, Cuauhtémoc Medina, Sarah Minter Editors: muac-unam / Alumnos 47 Editorial Coordinator: Ekaterina Alvarez Romero Language: Spanish and English First edition, 2015 Extension: 216 pages Format: 8.66 in x 6.3 in MSRP: $10.60 USD ISBN: 978-607-02-6473-3 Target: University community, academics and public interested in contemporary art. 91 MUAC UNAM Foreign Rights 2015
