Patricia Conde Galería, interested in positioning the value of photography, has a rich schedule of exhibitions and activities. At the moment, the gallery presents special guest Mary Ellen Mark, exceptional documentalist showcasing her documentary series Tiny and the film Streetwise, Oscar nominated in 1984, by the director Martin Bell.
Tiny is a documentary that explores the life of children and adolescents on the streets of Seattle in 1983, when this city was named the most livable in America. With a perfect photographic language, Mark speaks of the existence of a fragile teenager who anticipates a transition, often dangerous, to adulthood in a complicated surrounding.
Through seventeen photographs, all black and white and result of a well-developed photographic process, Mary Ellen Mark reveals a documentary produced for over twenty years. Undoubtedly quivering because of its content and unique aesthetic power.
Specialized in contemporary photography since 2009, Patricia Conde Galería is currently the only Mexican gallery promoting diverse photographic practices produced by Mexican and foreign artists. It is interested in solid firms, in their creative development as well as in the originality of renowned, intermediate and emerging artists’ proposals. The gallery counts with a rich schedule of exhibitions and activities every month. April arrives with a collective show that explores large format color photography. Its content will confront spectators to the sublime power of images.
Founded and directed by Patricia Conde Juaristi, the gallery project has the mission of unveiling Mexican Contemporary Photography in the international artistic sphere. The gallery establishes itself as an inclusive and independent alternative to the photographic scene in Mexico.
