Francis Alÿs - Ciudad Juárez projects 
Arizona State University Museum
January 21 – May 27, 2017


Belgian-born, Mexico City-based artist Francis Alÿs created the work for "Ciudad Juárez Projects" in collaboration with local artists during visits to downtown Juarez, near the international border, and to housing developments in the southern periphery of the city. This exhibition showcases two video works along with, notes, maps, drawings and photographs that follow the artist’s processes as he negotiates his own role in relation to the conflict playing out in this urban landscape.

This project was guest curated by Alejandro ‘Luperca’ Morales and Kerry Doyle. Supported by the Evelyn Smith Exhibition Fund and the Helme Prinzen Endowment.

"Francis Alÿs: Ciudad Juárez Projects" was part of projectWALK, a collaboration between the Museum of Walking, ASU Art Museum and additional campus and community partners, which investigates the everyday activity of walking in one of the least walkable cities in the United States.
