Edgar Fabián Frías' ​"The Museum Of Multidimensional Mutant Maps"


  • Philosophical Research Society (map)

The Philosophical Research Society proudly presents "The Museum of Multidimensional Mutant Maps," a solo exhibition featuring bold new works by interdisciplinary artist Edgar Fabián Frías. On view January 13 through February 24, 2024, this exhibition transforms the gallery into an immersive museum experience reexamining maps through the lens of imagination, reflection, and reinvention.

Inspired by the Nierika, a Wixárika technology, Frías has created interactive installations, paintings, sculptures, prints, and videos to help guide, confuse, and connect with visitors to this museum. These new artworks are arranged throughout thematic wings of the museum, each exploring different facets of maps. 

By interweaving indigenous, psychedelic, punk, and futurist influences, Frías has constructed a museum at once critical, visionary and whimsical. Their mutant maps capture traces of haunted pasts, possible presents and emergent futures - if we dare to reorient our perspectives. Ultimately, this exhibition serves as a testament to the transformative power of indigenous technologies and art practices to prompt reflection, spark imagination and manifest reinvention.
