Visual Score: Inside the Visual Poetry of Mexican Newologist of Felipe Ehrenberg is a tribute to the iconic Mexican artist Felipe Ehrenberg. The artist’s unusual way of viewing “the new” within a simultaneous past, present and future is the subject of this exhibition. For the first time, these works will be presented to the public in a contemplative exhibition that spans across artistic medium, diverse genres and includes the first comprehensive screening of the artist’s works in film and video, from documentary works to the visual poetry of his video art. As mystic cartographer of terrain between art and new technologies of the social world, Felipe Ehrenberg was a dissident and critic of systems, a conceptual artist whose trajectory inspired generations of artists to engage with politically-charged art that could be inserted into the public sphere.  Ehrenberg extracted objects from everyday life and placed them into artistic constellations to highlight their significance within the social systems he experienced and critiqued from the 1940s to the 2000s. Often using every-day string to make visible the social connections and networks that he charted over the course of a lifetime, he tied his own body to those of his audiences, and to poems written on balloons, and to puppet-like urban crowds. The visionary systems-critique of Ehrenberg’s artworks operated as coded social-political messages of resistance that could infiltrate the public arena before disappearing, defying boundaries and sometimes operating clandestinely, barely perceivable to the unknowing eye. The persistence of Ehrenberg’s ephemeral artworks - in both the public sphere and in the history of resistance art -  hinges upon their function as encrypted messages. From a life’s work of political art spanning over 50 years emerges the tracing of the journey of technology - the breakthroughs and blunders by which the machine dove so deeply into the psyche of our every day, from analogy to avatar.
