Chickens have no remedy is a book of aphorisms, notes and fragments; a compilation of various passages that have accumulated over the years in the author's personal notebooks. The tones in the writing, as in everyday humor, cover a diverse spectrum that goes from the philosophical sentence to irony and play. This book becomes a journey through the different topics that interest Palacios Kaim: art, books, home, space-time, body, humor. Luis Palacios Kaim (Mexico D.F., 1946) is a sociologist and philosopher from the Universidad Iberoamericana, an institution where he has taught subjects related to aesthetics and art theory. For thirty years, he has dedicated himself to sculpture, drawing, graphic arts and literature. He has exhibited his sculptural and plastic work in Mexico, the United States, France, Belgium, Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, Hungary, Malaysia, Singapore, Hong Kong, and Macao. His books include Zoe (2009), Ich Bin Volker (2010) and General León 51 (2013). The latter selected in Photo Book, PhotoEspaña; The factory, Madrid, Spain (2014) and INFOCUS, Phoenix, Arizona, USA (2014). He is currently a fellow of the Program of the National System of Art Creators, in the specialty of alternative media, of FONCA, period 2015-2017. «[...] both the content and the form (which in this case are knotted, confused) probe very deep aspects of life, laden with mystery and about which it is not easy to talk – unless we do it like Luis certainly already wrote it–, with that great talent for dealing with fundamental issues even with humor». Bernardo Garcia
