Description: "The visual art of Marcos Raya summarizes and anticipates the art of the twenty-first century, a period fraught with significant human displacements and cultural conflict. In order to understand Raya's work, states the Mexican cultural critic Carlos Monsiváis, one must become an "undocumented cultural subject." Monsiváis continues: "And anyone who wants to understand artistic works as vast and complex as those of Raya, must realize from the beginning that a contemporary artist needs to be read on the basis of being rooted in mobility.""--Amazon.
