Through his multi-faceted exhibitions, Mexico City-based artist Humberto Chávez articulates his exploration of the Freudian concept of disquieting alienation, the persistent feeling of anxiety that we all experience with our surroundings and society. He relies on a plethora of media, including photos, video, objects, text and music, to communicate this sense of disconnect. By taking objects that have lost their original meanings and recycling them, Chávez demonstrates how individuals can create their own realities. During an interview with Omaha’s City Weekly, Chávez said: “We are redefining the space between the art and the viewer…Creativity isn’t the monopoly of artists … everybody can determine the content of life in his particular sphere.” His solo installation, Tiempo Muerto, showed at the Bemis Center in 2005.
