For the most recent edition of the series of Registries - undertaken by the Museum of Contemporary Art of Monterrey a decade ago -, the focus of attention returns to the metropolitan area of the capital of Nuevo León and its prolific artistic scene. This fourth edition acquires relevance when reviewing what a dozen contemporary artists produce today, marking a kind of diagnosis that simultaneously unites and differentiates them from the six artists who participated in the first edition. What unites them all is undoubtedly the questioning of the immediacy of urban space, as well as the search for visual poetics and critical approaches to their reality. What distances them, on the other hand, is the vertiginous evolution of the world that has occurred in the last ten years, which has led to an unexpected reality, especially in the technological and media sphere. It is clear that the ones and the others, as well as the artists that were present in other editions of the "registers" and that in their moment expanded the focus of attention to other regions of the country, make up an incredibly vibrant generation that today resonates in the international field, putting Mexican art in a preponderant place.
