Leo Marz September, 2021
Leo Marz September, 2021 Zapopan, 1979 Lives and works in Monterrey The origin of his ideas is abstract. A savage and chaotic stream that he accesses through artifacts, narratives, music and cultural products with apparent connections between them. The choice of the subjects he assesses is only a pretext to surrender himself to the flux of dis- continuities that exist in the distance between great discussions about subjects of our time and all that we experiment in our daily lives but cannot manage to define with words. His actions become visible through spacial montages that bring objects and subjects together, try- ing to tell stories. Leo Marz has an MFA in new media as part of the program by Transart Institute and Donau Universität in Krems, Austria. He has re- ceived several grants including: Programa Jóvenes Creadores del FONCA twice, Colección Jumex, Programa de Estímulo a la Creación y al Desarrollo Artístico (PECDA) and the third edition of the program Bancomer-MACG Arte Actual. He has shown his work at: the Biennial of Chechenia; the 2nd Biennial of Yucatán (honorary mention on installation), Palazzo delle Arti in Napoli, South by Southwest in Austin, CMJ Music Marathon in New York, Center for Curatorial Studies Bard Hessel Museum in An- nandale-on-Hudson, Espace Pierre Cardin in Paris; Steve Turner Contemporary in Los Angeles, Museo de Arte Moderno, Museo de Arte Carrillo Gil, Casa del Lago, MUCA Roma in Mexico City and Museo MARCO in Monterrey. In recent years his work has been included in public collections such as Colección Fundación M. He has given several workshops in museums such as Museo de las Américas in Denver; Museo de Arte Carrillo Gil in Mexico City and Museo de Arte Manuel Felguérez in Zacatecas. From 2008 to 2012 he was professor at CEDIM in Monterrey. He co-directed La conversación, a program focused on the transdisciplinary production of contemporary art. He was co-curator in the videoart program Círculos de Confusión: Caos Social y Ficciones Dominantes for Transitio_MX 04. He was resident curator in Object Not Found where he developed a series of exhibitions, video programs, conferences and created an online forum on discussion and critic on emerging artistic practices in Nuevo León during the first decade of the XXI Century. He was lo- cal curator for the XII Bienal FEMSA. For three years he directed Lugar Común, a space for poetic production in Monterrey. He is current- ly the director of the UDEM’s art school.
Leo Marz Project selection September, 2021 Monolito The Monolito series begins with a cartoon that eventually turns into a series of geometric shapes and surfaces increasingly removed from their original context. As in White Ninja or #CC, the rationale of these works is based on sampling: an initial identifiable source that eventually blurs and fades away through iteration: the very same thing being gradually transformed. Monolito: banners, performances, books, paintings... This series premiered as a part of the Proyectos Impala program, an itinerant show by curator Alejandro Luperca Mo- rales, consisting of a cargo truck traveling through several locations in Ciudad Juárez. Exhibitions and workshops were organized in the massive container of the trailer. Given this project’s nature at, Marz chose to use an icon recognizable by members of different genera- tions that would serve as a sort of teaser for entering the field of art. Using the most recognizable character in a Japanese cartoon series as a starting point, is similar to the use of horror in Trampa Macabra. It is about thinking, using these elements to build a narrative to make images flow and to communicate. The cartoon character is itself only an excuse to raise a number of questions and to get painting. The ultimate goal is to reflect on the world we live in. At this premiere, Monolito came to be through small-format paintings which could be rearranged each time the trailer arrived in a new part of town. Introducing a practice that would become commonplace in this series, the work invaded the streets through murals and pub- lic compositions created in the site where the trailer parked. Ever since, the pieces in this series have appeared in diverse formats and dimensions, ranging from smaller canvases to publications and even to large-scale pieces designed to interact with the architectural space. At MARCO Museum in Monterrey, for instance, the space it- self was made up of large canvases, paintings, and interventions on the museum’s walls. There, Monolito evolved from being an object to become a setting or an atmospheric installation of sorts. This display then turned into an ideal spot for selfies and both group and indi- vidual photos, once again mutating into images that started to circulate on the Internet and to have, as it happens in this medium, a life of their own.

Las batallas del display and #CC
Las batallas del display and #CC, in which Leo Marz moved away from film production to zero in —with spectacular lighting— on his pictori-
al work.
It is worth stressing that both series originated in a digital field. While working from home to office, the artist searched and saved images to
create visual compositions using his computer and cell phone. In This way, he was able to create works that found their way into canvas and
other media, becoming a whole pictorial revolution.
The paintings included in Las batallas del display were created by superimposing layers of screenshots, resulting in geometric elements which
Marz reconfigured into abstract compositions. These pieces have been displayed on canvases as well as directly on the walls of the exhibi-
tion room, emphasizing that the word “display” of the title refers not only to the virtual world of digital screens, but also to the possibility they
have to unfolding and reproduce itself in a tangible space.
As for the pieces of the #CC series, they were produced through saturating and superimposing digital images. This series, also known as la-
ser paintings —because they are printed using a laser printer, and then transferred to the prepared canvas— has a certain musical quality
reminiscent of the loops, beats and samplers that Marz has produced as a professional musician —a career that has evolved over the years
alongside his work as a visual artist, especially with the White Ninja project.
In the timelessness of the digital era, these series of paintings -along with the one that lends its name to this publication- have transformed the
artist’s production process. The type of work they involve, the amount of time they take to conceive and dedicate to them are factors which
gradually transform each of the series. That is, more than the realization of the ideas, it is the day-to-day activities that have transformed
them throughout the years. Not the conceptual mechanism but the actual practice itself.
Yet, Leo Marz is neither a purist nor a proponent of specific media formats, so my suspicion is that one day there will be new footage filled
with fresh filming locations and new camerawork where pictorial reflection will no longer play the starring role. How will Christina Perez’s
portrayal be perceived and interpreted in fifteen years’ time? For the moment, in this image-saturated world, dominated by the unfiltered
and never-ending scrolling through mobile phones and the 4G Network, painting serves as a decelerating tool to stop time and reflect about
images.
Leo Marz is an artist within historian’s glasses, hooked up to high-speed Wi-Fi 24/7.

It consisted of 563 master drawings that were copied 1776 times (first print of The Wealth of Nations) by manual labor of people from different contexts: art students, blue collar workers, even communities of migrants. His intention was to complete a million of drawings each of them costing a dollar to create a million dollar art work. The production process, through which the foundations of modern capitalism and the mechanism of free market were satirised, clashed into a series of misfortunes, provoking its demise. Damián quit working on it in 2010. With Bailout, Leo Marz has gathered funds from Instituto Zacatecano de Cultura and CENART to rescue the project. He rearticulates the machinery of A Million of Good Reasons to Become a Millionaire to talk about the collapse of the economic system, through a reenac- ment of the use of public funding to try to keep it running (TARP, Fobaproa, etc.)

Leo Marz Project selection September, 2021 CHATS Leo Marz has a deep interest in how new media modifies the way we represent ourselves and create our own public self with the multi- plicity of fictions surrounding us. The same ones that had modified their own narrative structures thanks to platforms like Youtube and the different social networks. Phenomenon that, at the same time, alter the way we contextualize ourselves and create our own story / histo- ry. Departing from Pasolini’s idea about the unique capacity of cinema to reproduce reality, differentiating it from the other arts, and in that reality is constituted solely by multiple fleeting examples. It is to say by particular cases by means of which we are able to include / un- derstand behaviors, gestures and attitudes of our resemblances. We could assert that we can produce sense thanks to the understanding of therelations between these fragments of reality. CHATS is a video series based on actual MSN Conversations collected by José Jiménez Ortiz for his My Received Files project. They are performed by my family and close friends. Every episode deals with a different aspect affected during virtual interactions like time, space, language, identity, etc. Marz’s intention is to address this fragmentation and uncertainty. As Mario Pezzella says: “Movies ex- press by nature of its technique and production the experience of the discontinuity that the ‘new machines’ introduce in every aspect of common life.”

The project is a reflexion about the life span of cultural products and, above all, of cult films in the post-internet era. The potential of the full- filment of the movie is suspended to analyze their development in the mediatic resources offered by new technologies. Its deterioration, fragmentation, dismemberment, recomposition, possible translations, dubbing, supports, etc. are recovered as creating platforms and to analyze an overflow of products generated by consumers of pop culture. Interested in the genre and of its production forms, Marz plays with aesthetic and conceptual elements that allow him to travel between production resources of 70’s cinema and the mediatic platforms and broadcasting nowadays.

They portray the scene in which Scottie (James Stew- art) observes Madeleine (Kim Novak) sitting on a museum bench gazing at a portrait of Carlotta Valdes. Marz had two identical twins to create the paintings for him and they will be installed on opposite walls. A close comparison will show that although they differ slightly, the paintings depict the same scene. The twin paintings are accompanied by a slide projection showing brief texts that summarize the plots of other films. Scenic painters were hired to paint the texts on linen, then photographed the paintings, and then incinerated them so all that remains are their ashes. The plot summaries that he selected could easily be mistaken with that of Vertigo. The installation also includes two wooden boxes, one named Gimmick and the other Fake. Gimmick contains a certificate from Marz at- testing to the fact that the two paintings were created by identical twins together with blood samples for possible future DNA testing. Fake houses the slides and the ashes from the burned paintings.

This is because it has not been compre- hended in terms of continuity, but rather in function of changes and transformations that follow time-space based data to be analyzed. Foucault says that the history of ideas truly starts when the multiple character of truth was understood. That is to say, ideas vary upon dif- ferent cultures and, to notice it, it is precise to document the effects of rupture in history of the diverse ways of thinking of the actors and semantic variations of language which do not allow us to conceive a history of ideas homogenous and continuous. During Marz’s residency at PAN Studios Program he developed a project focused on the possible leaks existing between a museum and its archive, generators of meaning, and its context. He interested in how these leaks, which are often presented as discussions, provoke the regeneration of signifiers and future context through dialogue. Poetically, this discussions may produce enough energy to create a symbolic big bang that would allow us travel in time letting us trace a memory for the future.

6:00 minLeo Marz Project selection September, 2021 Justin Case this is the end This exhibition is articulated through six projects. The name of the exhibition may suggest a wordplay; nevertheless it refers to a real per- son. Justin Case is an actual character with whom Marz held an interview regarding the literal meaning of his name. Within the context of this exhibition, this reference becomes a suggestion to lucubrated fictions on what “could happen” in case the world came to an end. The aesthetic dwellings proposed by the artist take off from apocalyptic imagery or the notion of “end” of culture, in order to confabu- late fictional sceneries through Casa del Lago’s documents, biographical records, drawings, as well as postmedia projections and mu- seographical montages. Through this heterogeneous combination of formats and the collaborative methodology of “featuring”, this exhi- bition involves procedures common to contemporary art, such as archival simulation and institutional memory; the narrative potential of indexes, testimonies, and historical documents; and the construction of false imprints through drawings and video footage. Such convolu- tion traces temporary lines between ambiguous contexts and hypertextual resonances, unfolding narratives that incite us to make hypo- thetic speculations about the “end” as cultural logic.
