¡Hombre! Prints by José Guadalupe Posada October 19, 2013–April 6, 2014 This exhibition commemorates the 100th anniversary of the death of José Guadalupe Posada (1852–1913), one of the key figures in the development of modern Mexican printmaking. Born of humble origins in the city of Aguascalientes, Posada died a well-known man in Mexico City. As a freelance artist, he completed an estimated 15,000 different ephemeral prints for the penny press that documented just about every facet of Mexican life. ¡Hombre! Presents over 50 of Posada’s depictions of male figures, an amusing array of outlaws, fugitives, demons, lovers, politicians, and matadors, as well as the indelible images of the rural heroes known as valientes (brave ones), the popular everyman Don Chepito, and the magnificent calaveras.

México Inside Out: Themes in Art Since 1990 Sep 15, 2013 - Jan 15, 2014 México Inside Out: Themes in Art Since 1990 is one of the largest and most ambitious exhibitions in over a decade to examine contemporary art of central Mexico and Mexico City from the 1990s to the present day. Organized by curator Andrea Karnes, the exhibition is the first of its kind to be presented in North Texas. This thematic exhibition features approximately sixty works by twenty-three artists who explore aspects of the country’s complex sociopolitical climate. The artists in Inside Out tackle issues regarding borders, violence, corruption, economic and civic institutions, and revolution.

BULLETIN 2013

Energy Reform for Mexico

WRITTEN BY

Enrique Peña Nieto As a result of teamwork and our valuable plurality, the Senate and the House of Representatives passed the Energy Reform. The Energy Reform along with other transformative reforms will be the basis for Mexico to achieve more rapid, sustained and sustainable economic growth over the next few years and decades. As a result of this decision, Mexico will become a global energy reference: we will make better use of our vast energy resources that were previously technically and economically impossible to exploit. This will boost our development. Hundreds of thousands of high-level jobs for Mexican engineers, technicians and specialists who will be internationally competitive will be created.

Miscellaneous

The Energy Reform will create more energy so that housewives, entrepreneurs and Mexicans with a small or medium business will have to pay less for electricity and gas. Clean, renewable energy use will be promoted and multiplied, and most importantly: oil, oil reserves and oil revenues will remain the exclusive property of the nation. PEMEX and CFE will continue acting as levers of national development; they will remain public companies with 100% Mexican ownership. Energy Reform strengthens national sovereignty, increases the country’s energy security and will allow us to have enough energy for more businesses to set up in Mexico and create new jobs. From now onwards, Mexico could become an energy power for the benefit of all Mexicans. It is now up to the State Congresses to discuss the decision made by the Senate. Let’s keep working together and contributing from our sphere of responsibility to the success of our country. Congratulations to the Senators and Representatives for their energy and determination to move and transform Mexico.
