'˜El Chapo' arrest put in context by Void exhibition
With the arrest of Mexican drug lord JoaquÃn '˜El Chapo' Guzmán punters still have a few weeks to visit Brian Maguire's exhibition: '˜J'ACCUSE:' Paintings, Ciudad Juárez' at the Void.
The work - curated by Jonathan Cummins - will be showing until February 6.
‘J’ACCUSE’ interrogates the international war on and for drugs, the violence of a destabilised state and the darkness that permeates borderlands and trade between wealthy and poorer nations.
