Changarrito is a project developed by Mexico City-based Argentinean artist Máximo González, who recently exhibited at the Craft and Folk Art Museum (CAFAM) in Los Angeles. It is a contemporary art vending cart borne from González's desire to integrate local artists with the alternative economy of street commerce and the mobility of changarros, or mobile vending carts in Mexico.

Changarrito debuted at the international art fair ARCO '05 in Madrid, Spain, where Mexico was the invited country. González presented Changarrito as an alternative to the official gallery selection presented by the Mexican cultural authorities. With Changarrito, Máximo facilitated a more accurate portrayal of the vast Mexican art scene, as more than 60 artists were represented.

This is my first posting here on this site. Since I don't see a category for either textile/fiber art or batik I've put it here in "Crafts."
