This November, SPQ welcomes visiting student Tanex López! López is a visual artist and founding member of “La Agencia”: a civil association interested in the connection between contemporary art, education and social practice. He is currently studying a Master Program at Universidad Autónoma de Aguascalientes, Mexico. His ongoing research examines art educators’ belief system in order to understand the pedagogical practices of art teaching both local and globally.

Tanex’s work with “La Agencia” includes pedagogical interventions such as workshops of contemporary art or deschooling courses for high school students. In 2012, he received a State award for a project called Historia reciente del Arte en Aguascalientes. The work consisted in the creation of an archive containing information about the recent history of the visual arts in the city.

Check out his work here:
