And although next season has yet to be unveiled, the inaugural season still has much to recommend it to visitors. It's described as a celebration of the achievements of Mexican art, which displays a wide variety of subject matter, technique and political content. It's the first large-scale museum exhibition to address the continuing power and viability of optical effects in contemporary art. The artists represented in this exhibit explore pulsating after-images, vibrating space and other sensations sometimes associated with an altered state. The artists in the exhibition span three generations and represent the complex cultural combination that is Cuban, African, Hispanic, Caribbean and American.
