The exhibition An Englishman Abroad with artworks by British artist Jordan McKenzie challenges traditional perceptions of aesthetic and art as an endeavor disjointed by a social component. His artworks, a varied mix of performances, videos, installations and prints, bring into the fore issues of social realism, identity and gender in a British society that is increasingly in crisis.

An Englishman Abroad explores, with a peculiar British sense of humor, how art can face up to the social and cultural challenges that have arisen and continue to permeate the repetitive crises that are characterizing the XXIst century, which have become a post-postmodern condition of globalized perpetual and widespread failures.
