Currently on view at Museo Jumex in Mexico City, ‘Normal Exceptions: Contemporary Art in Mexico’ surveys 20 years of art by Mexican and Mexico-based artists. Abraham Cruzvillegas is among those represented in the exhibition, which spans the entire museum. 'Haussmannian Leftovers: Richard Lenoir,’ a 2007 work composed of foraged produce crates that are painted black, is an example of the artist’s concept of ‘autoconstrucción,’ a generative act of repurposing from the local surroundings — in this case, Paris, where the artist teaches and lives part time.
