He first exhibited in the late 1960s and later exhibited at Galerie Espace, several times at the Galeria Mizrachi in Mexico City, the Galeria Gabriela Orozco, and many other venues. In 1979, Giron and famed Mexican artist Pedro Friedeberg founded the influential avant-garde gallery Galeria La Chinche in Mexico City.

The Bed Bug (La Chinche)In 1979 Xavier Girón and Pedro Friedeberg founded "La Chinche", a 12-square-meter gallery that was annexed to a private parking lot located at 122 Hamburg Street in Mexico City's Zona Rosa. During a little more than two years of activity (1979-1981) the founders held 13 exhibitions.In 2014 the Museo Experimental el Eco put into practice a reduced sequel to La Chinche, framed in the parallel activities of the exhibition Challenge to Stability, Artistic Processes in Mexico 1952-1967, held at the University Museum of Contemporary Art MUAC. "...Thanks to these connections, Pedro Friedeberg began to meet other Mexican surrealist artists such as Leonora Carrington (1917 – 2011) and Alice Rahon (1904 – 1987), until he became a member of Los Hartos in 1961.This artistic group or movement advocated the spiritualization of art and was based on Dadaist principles: the creation of anti-art for art's sake, rejecting the political and social painting that was dominant in Mexico at the time.They were original, eccentric, irreverent, and iconoclastic, and the influence of this group led Friedeberg to believe in the autonomy of aestheticism.For Friedeberg, "Los Hartos is the most important movement of the 1960s. Thanks to this move... José Luis Cuevas became famous. Thanks also to Los Hartos, Chucho Reyes began to sell like hotcakes and the Antonio Souza gallery became immortal... Thanks to Los Hartos we were able to found, together with Xavier Girón, chinchismo in the gallery La Chinche, amen".In 1979, Pedro Friedeberg and Xavier Girón organized an artistic movement called "Chinchismo," which comes from "chinche," which comes from bedbug, meaning error, and asked thirty artists to create "mistakes" with the idea of ridiculing artistic movements or "isms."
