Frontviews, in collaboration with OJO MX ARTE (Mexico City) and Noysky Projects (Los Angeles), presents Birthmark, a multidisciplinary exhibition exploring identity through the lenses of family, society, and culture. The exhibition is part of B-LA-M, a three-year global art exchange involving 54 artist-run spaces spanning multiple continents.
Birthmark showcases works by artists from Mexico, Germany, United States, and Belarus, whose personal narratives are as diverse as their work. Their projects delve into familial histories and societal struggles, offering insights unique to each individual yet resonating within larger cultural contexts.
Several of the works in Birthmark are worn like badges of honor, symbolizing inherited legacies or birthrights that are a source of power. Others present identities more soberly — neither good nor bad but undeniably significant. Moreover, individual works reveal identities through poignant narratives and internal conflicts, uncovering complex stories.
