    Lauren Brincat’s video work Mexican Standoff shows a performance she undertook in Mexico City. Here a group of female horse riders, including the artist herself, standoff with a statue of a heroic man on horseback at the Museo Nacional de Arte. The work forms a response to the lack of statues of heroic women on horseback compared to the many, many public statues of men portrayed in a heroic manner.
