With MUAC: One Hundred Works, the museum presents its collection with a multiple discourse, guided not by a single thematic line, but by the relevance that certain pieces and creators have already acquired for our understanding of contemporary art in Mexico. We have therefore decided to present the spectator (the reader, in this case) with a set of pieces that we consider to be essential to recent art history. This archive includes pieces starting in 1952, a watershed year marked by the modernizing gesture of the construction of Ciudad Universitaria, but especially from the period following the political, social and cultural earthquake of 1968.
