520 _a The museum features a deliriously baroque collection of seditious Mexican memorabilia -- plastic toys, pinatas, masks, stickers, clothing, and other trinkets -- related to the controversial image of Mexico's corrupt ex-president Carlos Salinas de Gortari. All of the pieces included in Razo's collection, which are sold throughout the shattered streets of Mexico City, were conceived and produced by Mexican artisans as alternative means of political participation or subtle acts of sabotage against the state and Salinas' legacy. With perceptive essays by Mexican critics Cuauhtemoc Medina and Federico Navarrete, and by Los Angeles-based artists Daniel J. Martinez and Ruben Ortiz Torres, this catalogue documents the Museo Salinas and its aims both in an aesthetic and a socio-economic context.
