Title: Semefo: 1990-1999 de la morgue al museo
Description: Universidad Autonoma Metropolitana], 2011. Paperback. Pp: 400. Bilingual: Spanish English. nIn the early nineties, in Mexico City a group of young people from different disciplines and linked to the Universidad Nacional Autònoma de México began working under the acronym formed from the Forensic Medical Service (Semefo). With the intention of bringing the culture of the periphery to the centres of art, the group made multidisciplinary presentations that addressed violence and taboos beginning with a combination of visual arts, performance, theatre and Trash Metal music.nInterested from the start in the subject of death, their work shifted from the use of organic materials of animal origin to the remains of bodies from the morgue and tended towards Conceptual art and Minimalist sculpture. Aside from a fascination with what they called - the life of the cadaver`, the collective produced works that are now considered representative of Mexican art and are heirs to a tradition of the representation of death.nPresentation by Mariana David, Carles Guerra, María Virginia Jaua and Carolina Olivares.
