d  a  v  i  s      b  i  r  k  s WAR and PEACE Galería Nina Menocal, Mexico February 21 - April 4, 2012 curated by Nina Menocal and Isabel Ruiz Contemporary artists express the reality in which they are living:  the rejection of war and its transgressions against the dignity and integrity of the humanbeing, and, at the same time, a profound admiration for a world of beauty, for happiness, and for nature in all the surprises it embodies.These are torn feelings that coexist intensely, especially in the measure that humanity is most threatened. That is why we have titled this exhibition “War & Peace”, like Tolstoy’s great novel. The exhibition should invite a reflection on how to fight against violence and evil and bring beauty into our daily lives. Isabel Ruiz,  2012 participating artists: Lidzie Alvisa, Carlos Aguirre, Davis Birks, Jose Bedia, Angel Delgado, Gabriela Gutierrez, Enrique Jezik, Israel Leon, Laurie Litowitz, Luis Moro, Glexis Novoa
