Calixto Ramirez Calixto Ramirez
Donde el campo me ha llevado (Where the field has led me), is an exhibition that arises from the relationship between Austria and Mexico. Starting off from the facts, that the penacho of Moctezuma (Montezuma´s headdress) is held at the Museum of Ethology of Vienna, that chocolate/cacao is a native product of Mexico and today is part of the Austrian identity, and the execution of Maximiliano I emperor of Mexico.

On the other hand we can´t forget that during World War II Mexico was the only country that protested against the Anschluss of Austria.
Without being nationalist, the pieces intend to create a dialog/game between the artist and the Austrian culture. Calixto will be producing in situ in an almost playful way the pieces for 12 – 14 gallery in a period of 25 days.
