Does a Photoshopped bloody fist-heart exploding from the chest, alien-like, of a contemplative female art appreciator make you want visit a museum, specifically the Tamayo Museum of Contemporary Art in Mexico City? Me, no. But then, I find pretty much all modern art highly suspect. However, if this gory image was part of an actual series of hyper-realistic exploding organ human sculptures (or a special sanguinary wing of the Bodies Exhibition), well I might check them out. But, trying to create “art” ads to promote art is usually specious. Unfortunately, too many ad art directors think they’re artists (Warhol), just like too many ad copywriters think they’re writers (they’re not). Poster Boy, who got invited to remix MoMA’s posters, could have some fun with these. Jump for the second ad featuring an overhead cutaway view of a man’s bloody brain full of little bloody hands

cool
Who wrote this shit, come on, don't be a fuckin' pussy, those ads are freakin awesome!!
Please, tell me what's the problem, they're not violent, you're violently a FAG!
hope you're not the one visiting cause if you are, you're certainly going to miss something! like if in the states there's less violence! come on!!!!!!!
Mexico is not violent but there are Mexicans who are violent. The United States is not idiotic but there are Americans who idiots (i.e. you when writing the headline for this post). I hope to find a violent Mexican, one who also works for the Mexican Tourism Board, to stand behind you as you write this ignorant and irresponsible headline.
I don´t understand quite well. Is this guy saying that Andy Warhol was nothing more than an ad art director?
It's simple, this guy is a wuss, he got scared by a couple of postcards.
what a bunch of fucking pussys
PINCHES GRINGOS PENDEJOS.
Well at least here in Mexico we don't sell shotguns at walmart.
Men you are a pussy, we mexicans are not violent, but culturally and historically we have an issue with blood, we dont panic with it and we find it awesome (well at least on the ads you posted) so stop being such a fucking hipocrit and visit a nice musuem….one with huge amounts of exquisite art or you can keep complaining and turn on Fox news for some real living non-estetic or art carnage….its hapening on you home america…..we have violent streets but never schools…at least our kids are not as fucked up to grab a gun and kill their school mates…
Cheers…amazing art by the way
PINCHES GRINGOS PENDEJOS
FYI – pinche gringo pendejo means, fucking imbecile gringo. which, by the way i believe you are.
Well im italian and ive been in mexico a couple of times i dont really think mexico is violent, everything is a myth created by americans so americans show their truth to the world and then the world believe american shit, well in mexico u r not afraid to go to college and be murdered because u know that theres not a twisted crazy gringo that is going to kill all the people.
And drug war is just in the north where united states of whatever is, because they are the guilty of every war and if theres some violence in mexico is because of americans.
If u want a world without violence then americans must disappear…
I think that he cool thing of visual art is that everyone can adapt its meaning to our own life experiences… there is no need to say ITS COOL OR VIOLENT…. it is cool, it is violent, it is stupid and smart at the same time, it just depends on how you think…
For me, those posters represent the repressed courage we as mexicans have, since we know that our country is messed up and want to change it, but we cant because just a few people know what is going on with the government and stuff…
These posters speak for me, I want to be able to fight poverty and I feel my heart coming out from my chest when I see unfair stuff against people who have no idea of what is going on or how politics work…
no need to be agressive guys, at all, there is no need to say the bad things of our countries because if we compare, we always find the other country worse… we are just different, suck it up.
