There is a fantastic exhibit of the art of Francisco Toledo along with other contemporary Oaxacan artists in the beautiful huge gallery space in the Center for the Arts in San Agustin or CASA. El maestro has a separate small gallery for his drawings, but it appears that he also collaborated with many of the other artists. These impressive ceramic pillars by Jose Angel Santos y Ismael Guardado greet visitors.

Beautiful work.

The seed dress is amazing. Made for the goddess of nature...to lay on a rich reddish brown dirt and slowly grow green sprouts.
Wouldn't that be nice. I wonder what kind of seeds they are? Calabasa?
This show looks amazing. Your photos make it crackle with life. The execution of detail in the works is wondrous. I wish I could be there to see it. Henry
Will the show be going on the end of January? I would LOVE to see it, especially the dress.
