Meuser, New Production
On view through May 2023
Museo de Arte Contemporáneo (MARCO)
Nuevo León, Monterrey

The Monterrey Museum of Contemporary Art (MARCO) and the Nordenhake Gallery present “Meuser, New Production” in which Monterrey connects with the German Ruhr region through the work inspired by the industrial history of both places.

For this exhibition, presented in MARCO’s Patio de las Esculturas, the German artist has created eight new works in steel, a material that connects both with his previous work and with the contexts of the cities. In the case of Monterrey, steel represents the economic and business development of the City. On the other hand, much of Germany’s iron and steel is produced in the Ruhr mining basin, made up of 53 cities, one of which is Essen, where Meuser was born. Blast furnaces make up the landscape of both regions.
