Description

According to the press, 2008 was the year with the highest number of bullets fired in recent Mexican history. That same year, over 5,000 people lost their lives in various episodes of violence and executions linked to drug trafficking activities and their suppression. Teresa Margolles, who for nearly two decades has explored the artistic possibilities of human remains, focused her participation in the 2009 Venice Biennale on creating a conceptual, affective, and material transfer of evidence of violence from the streets of Mexico to the decadent luxury of the art world. "What else could we talk about?" is much more than a documentation of Margolles' intervention in Venice. This book brings together a multifaceted reflection (including testimonies, narratives, historical reflection, and production) on the futile crusade against drugs and its perverse effects. More than an art book, it is a volume that records the complex interference between violence, aesthetics, and politics that emerges in Southern culture in the early 21st century.
