Teresa Margolles, Rendición de Cuentas / Score Settling (Score 11), 2008. Courtesy the artist
“Her works took the form of mundane and ‘luxury’ objects that embody the trauma of violent deaths in Mexico, more precisely in Sinaloa. The Northwestern state is the home of the Sinaloa Cartel, a criminal organization regarded as “the most powerful drug trafficking organization in the world.” Every day in Sinaloa people are victims of drug related violence.
Margolles and her assistants went to the scenes of the crimes and collected the traces of violence and social suffering: they soaked pieces of cloth with the mud and blood left on the site of executions, they picked up fragments of windshield glass that had exploded after a shooting, and they copied narcomensajes -the messages left by drug lords over the corpses of beheaded victims.
The artist used these remnants of gun violence to create jewellery, embroidery pieces, or colour fabrics and Level 2 Gallery is showing some of these works.
The flag at the entrance of the exhibition space was dyed using the blood found on the site of shootings and decapitations. ”
