Curated by renowned curator and art critic Octavio Zaya, Theorem presents large-scale installation, sculpture, video art, and photography by nearly 30 artists from 15 different countries in Mana’s 50,000-square-foot Glass Gallery. Several artists from far-flung locations such as Peru, Brazil, and Norway, are traveling to Mana to create their installations on-site. The artists address the hypothetical question ‘what if?’ — as inspired by Pier Paolo Pasolini’s 1968 film Teorema — contemplating a world turned upside-down, where social tensions can be amplified to the point of poetic subversion, achieving possible transcendence.

Exhibiting artists include: Miguel Andrade Valdez, Julieta Aranda, Kader Attia, Marlon de Azambuja, Elena Bajo, Otto Berchem, Monika Bravo, Fernando Bryce, Marìa Magdalena Campos-Pons, Heman Chong, Elena Damiani, Aleksandar Duravcevic, Radames “Juni” Figueroa, Nicole Franchy, Richard Garet, Kendell Geers, Pedro Gómez-Egaña, Lucia Koch, Annette Lemieux, Ramón Miranda Beltrán, Warren Neidich, Jo Ractliffe, Rivka Rinn, Santiago Roose, Susan Siegel, DM Simons, Milagros de la Torre, Sergio Vega, Antonio Vega Macotela, Zoé T.
