Catalogue of the exhibition of 29 works by Federico Silva (b. 1923, Ciudad de Mexico). Kinetic Art is supported by movement and is materialized, mainly, in the field of sculpture with mobile mechanisms, pictorially it can rely on the projection of moving colors, on the chromatic decomposition of light or on optical illusions, and can be added with sound effects or electronic music, very particularly with synthesized music. The exhibition is made up of works created by Maestro Federico Silva, mostly made between 1969 and 1973, all of them corresponding to the artistic trend called "Kinetic Art" whose antecedents go back to "Futurism" (1910), kineticism has a first moment in the forties and fifties, although its great height occurs in the decades of the sixties and seventies. Very young, Federico Silva began his artistic career in muralism, a movement of deep social significance for the people of Mexico, and also practiced as a figurative creator. With great mastery in easel painting, he conquered with his talent a prominent space in the artistic environment of Mexico, which he then renounced, moving away from the security and comfort gained, to launch himself in the search of new creative horizons. Shaken by the restlessness of the sixties, he abandons his figurative work to go abstract. He begins his first kinetic works in Mexico and later travels to France where he comes into contact with the most outstanding creators of kineticism. Upon his return to our country, he immerses himself in study and reflection, which allowed him to delve into this current in a broader way. Federico Silva decided to walk the path of innovation and set up an electronics workshop-laboratory to develop his artistic work. In this way he assumed the risks of an artistic search, supported by the powers of science and technology. In that redoubt destined for experimentation and the design of concrete solutions, he would spread the wings of his imagination, until he created a series of surprising artifacts in its wealth of sensory consequences
