So far the only photos I have taken are below, at the Xela Art Museum. The museum is in a beautiful Spanish Colonial building facing Parque Central. We saw a great contemporary exhibit entitled Suite Sweet Love; a title which turned out to be quite sarcastic considering the first thing one sees upon entering the gallery is a continuous film of the artist hitting herself over the head with a plastic sword while licking a sucker that says TE QUIERO. Contemporary. Very contemporary.
The installations included a wedding cake made of tapes and photo albums, a bed draped in film reels resembling chains, and a variety of wedding dresses with tags stating how long the bride has been married or when she was divorced. I thought the exhibit was quite creative, if bitter.
More photos of a happier Guatemala to follow...
