Mario García Torres

<p>Mario García Torres’s It Must Have Been a Tuesday is an investigation of repetition through the lens of hope, time, and transformation. The work comprises 164 photocopies mounted on canvas equating the number of days that the artist’s studio was closed during Mexico’s first lockdown in 2020. It begins as a single page reading, ‘Cerrado temporalmente,’ Spanish for ‘temporarily closed,’ which was affixed to the artist’s studio door. García Torres returned to the studio the following day, photocopied the sign and attached it back to the door, repeating that process each day until the studio was able to reopen. With the increasing distortion introduced by the photocopier, the text became progressively illegible, resulting in a gradual breakdown of the message and the creation of an abstracted composition. The photocopies are presented chronologically and span over 43 meters.</p><p><strong>Mario García Torres</strong> (born 1975 in Monclova, Mexico) draws on daily life and encounters with a wider cultural landscape to question ideas of truth, certainty, and time. Extending from his engagement with film, his work has come to include painting, installation, sculpture, and theatrical monologue. García Torres lives and works in Mexico City and in Los Angeles.</p>
