Modernity and the Architecture of Mexico
Since the mid 1970s, there has been an extraordinary renewal of interest in early modern architecture, both as a way of gaining insight into contemporary architectural culture and as a reaction to neoconservative postmodernism. This book undertakes a critical reappraisal of the notion of modernity in Mexican architecture and its influence on a generation of Mexican architects whose works spanned the 1920s through the 1960s. Nine essays by noted architects and architectural historians cover a range of topics from broad-based critical commentaries to discussions of individual architects and buildings.

New Tendencies in Mexican Art
Since the 1980s there has been considerable interest in Mexico and its art, as one can see from the sheer number of exhibitions, catalogues, and articles devoted to the subject. Despite this interest, there are few books devoted to contemporary Mexican art. New Tendencies in Mexican Art is the first book-length study devoted to a generation of Mexican artists who have had enormous international success. It focuses on several 'tendencies' Gallo has identified as prominent themes in the work of these artists including orientalism, perversion, and a fascination with urban culture.
Las artes de la ciudad
Durante los noventa, el arte exhibido en México integró obras que fueron definidas como "conceptuales" o experimentales, pero que, para Rubén Gallo, están particularmente marcadas por la irreverencia y el humor. Una visión personal sobre esa generación creativa y fecunda llevó al autor, crítico y participante de ese auge, a ensayar en este libro sobre temas y obras de su interés: el orientalismo de los jóvenes artistas mexicanos, el voyerismo fotográfico de la serie Ricas y famosas, la radiodifusión pirata y el programa Sin Cabeza, las representaciones de la ciudad de Francis Alÿs, Minerva Cuevas, Santiago Sierra, Teresa Margolles y Jonathan Hernández, así como la creación de museos propios, dentro de la comodidad del hogar. Publicado originalmente como New Tendencies in Mexican Art: the 1990s, el texto de Rubén Gallo está dedicado a los críticos del futuro, unos que "sabrán hacer de la crítica un terreno plural, polifónico y abierto".
