"What Else Could We Talk About Teresa Margolles, who for almost two decades has explored the artistic possibilities of human remains, has focused her participation at the Venice Biennale on effecting a conceptual, emotional, and material transfer of the proofs of violence on the streets of Mexico into the decadent luxury of the world of art."
"For the works included in this project, Margolles collaborated with native embroiderers from Guatemala, Panamá, Nicaragua, Brazil, Mexico, and the United States, who shared her concerns about violence, particularly against women, as well ..."
"The sculptures of Mexican artist Teresa Margolles (born 1963) superficially evoke the cool neutrality of minimalist art, but turn out to be deeply freighted with political content. Her Spartan sculptures, often connoting medical conditions, explore the chaos of her country’s drug wars and point to a more general tabooing of death and violence. This volume looks at her recent works."

"Characterized by a minimal yet vivid stylistic grammar and crude realism, the works of Mexican artist Teresa Margolles (born 1963) presented in this monograph contend with the prevalence of death and violence, particularly in contemporary Mexico, investigating them in connection with social and economic inequality."
"Violence and the dead are major thematics in the sociopolitical art of Teresa Margolles. Born in Culiacán, Mexico, Margolles unfalteringly exposes the social causes and consequences of the endemic violence that ravages her country: violent deaths from the drug trade, exclusions, feminicides, and social injustice. Many of her works consist of substances or objects that have been in close contact to violent crimes and dead bodies, such as ..."
"Según la prensa, 2008 fue el año en que más balas se dispararon en la historia reciente de México. Ese mismo año más de 5,000 personas perdieron la vida en diversos episodios de violencia y ejecuciones ligados con la actividad del tráfico de estupefacientes y su represión. Teresa Margolles, quien por cerca de dos décadas se ha ocupado de explorar las posibilidades artísticas de restos humanos, enfocó su participación en la Bienal de Ven ..."

"Living in a cramped space where Beverly Hills and Calcutta meet every day, the artists gathered here explore the tension between wealth and poverty, among progress, stagnation, and improvisation, and between the violence and civility that animates the vibrant center that is Mexico City. Compounding the complexity of urban living, high rates of kidnapping, murder, and pollution become a daily threat. For the rich, the body becomes an obj ..."
"This Mexican artist's work deals with death and violence and yet her installations are of almost delicate quality. She explores the role of memory and the past as well as social, political and economic issues. Her treatment of the human body expresses individuality in its complex relationship with race, class and community."
"The work of Mexican artist Teresa Margolles revolves around what is perhaps the last great taboo topic of our time: death. Her approach is even more daring, for she is not interested in folklore and ritual but in the palpable reality of the corpse. "What does a corpse have to go through?" wonders Margolles, who is also a forensic medical assistant and a scholar in the field of communications. Employing a minimalist aesthetic, she transf ..."
