MORPHO

ANIBAL CATALAN

Morpho is a sculptural installation, especially conceived for the architectural space of Antara Polanco and developed in collaboration with Arte Abierto.

In Morpho, the Mexican artist Anibal Catalan takes as a reference the natural forms of the tiger dragonfly and the colors of the painting Yellow Landscape (1908) by the Russian artist Kasimir Malevich, to create a structure that allows the viewer to relate sensitively and spatially with the place that inhabits and travels. The side walls use the same shapes and colors in composition, creating a dialogue between the two-dimensionality of the murals and the three-dimensionality of the installation.

Morpho opens to the public in the main access tunnel of Antara and will be temporarily from Thursday March 23 to May 31, with free access.

ART & ARCHITECTURE DERIVES

Cultural geographies:

The invention of museum circuits in 20th century Mexico City.

A conversation with Ana Garduño

We restart our program Art & Architecture Derives. On this occasion we are accompanied by the historian and researcher Ana Garduño.

Have you observed how there are museum circuits in certain areas of Mexico City?

Join us in this 10º Art and Architecture Derive. Ana Garduño will talk about the various museum projects and “Cities of the Arts” that emerged throughout the 20th century in Mexico: from utopian proposals to completely feasible, passing through the Olinka of Dr. Atl or the City of Museums and Arts by Diego Rivera, until reaching projects such as the National Museum of Anthropology. Throughout this period, the urban process of Mexico City had an impact on the cultural infrastructure and produced an expansion of museums that went from the central zone to the south or Chapultepec.

The appearance of the new museum circuits, in addition to grouping in specific territories, promoted the strengthening and emergence of networks of art galleries and cultural centers in surrounding areas. These new circuits, in turn, fostered a certain cultural invisibility of other areas (north, east, west) and their erasure in the artistic life of the inhabitants of the city.

Arte Abierto continues with its new public program Derivas de Arte y Arquitectura (Art & Architecture Derives), which seeks to renew our gaze on the architectural legacy of Mexico City. From a series of talks focused on rescuing the parallel stories of emblematic architectural projects and public spaces that have witnessed the variable intersection between art and architecture. In this first stage, the program deals mainly with modern architecture, based on a series of talks given by invited curators, architects, artists and urban planners.

With this program, ways of returning to architecture part of its public, experiential, collective character and close to those of us who inhabit the city are tested, recognizing in it its condition as a living archive. From these talks, circumstances, contexts and anecdotes are revealed that have been part of his sensitive memory and that complement his material memory, a relationship that often escapes documentary narratives and academic accounts.

The objective of the drifts is to generate experiences of spatial rediscovery, which allow us to renew our gaze on the legacy of certain emblematic architectural and artistic works, as well as those that have been forgotten.

The derives will be carried out free of charge on the last Saturday of each month, at 1:00 p.m. with a limited capacity.

WINTER MICROLANDSCAPES

OPERA FOR THE GARDEN

In collaboration with Vanessa Freitag and students from the Escuela Superior de Música and the Academia de la Danza Mexicana

The winter solstice is the astronomical event that has made us aware of life cycles and renewal. We have celebrated and represented it with rituals, parties, traditions, deities, pyramids, mythologies and calendars. Despite the arrival of the cold and the end of the growing season, what is actually celebrated at this time is the next return of the sun and its reappearance in the sky.

To welcome winter, students from the Escuela Superior de Música and the Academia de la Danza Mexicana will offer an opera concert* for the plants of the Jardín Arte Abierto, accompanying them at the change of season and celebrating their new cycle , in a kind of celebration and momentary fiction.

As part of the concert, the artist Vanessa Freitag (Brazil, 1982) made a series of textile sculptures to cover the singers and turn them into abstract micro-landscapes and new garden-organisms. With this, they are transformed into artificial flowers that sprout momentarily with the sole purpose of comforting nature.

* The musical repertoire is a compilation of opera pieces related to winter, the changes of season and the cyclical celebrations of each end of the year, change or transformation.

VANESSA FREITAG (Santa Rosa, Brazil 1982)
She lives and works in León, Guanajuato. She is an artist trained in Plastic Arts, Artistic Education (Brazil) and Social Anthropology (Mexico), and a professor at the University of Guanajuato. Currently, she combines the teaching practice with the artistic one to investigate the contemporary textile language. Her interests revolve around crafts and the study of the natural landscape – flora and fauna – both in Mexico and Brazil, from where she thinks about her identity as a migrant. She creates textile clusters, micro-landscapes and abstract bodies that occupy space, and experiments with recycled materials to build organic forms that often inhabit an imaginary natural universe.

Among her individual exhibitions are O Jardim (Dos Topos Gallery / León / Mexico), Topiarius (Untitled Gallery / San Francisco / USA) and Pequenho Jardim Simbiótico (Latin Artists Gallery). She has also participated in collective exhibitions in Brazil, Chile, Mexico, Puerto Rico, the United States, Romania, and the Ukraine. She received first place in the sculpture category at the IV Guanajuato Contemporary Art Salon (2021, Irapuato / Mexico) and at FIBRA – Textile Art Biennial (2019, Porto Alegre / Brazil). In 2020, she collaborated in the MEIO Cura project (Flotar Programa, CDMX). Recently, she did a work production residency at Residencia Art Project (Playa del Carmen / Mexico).

TRAVELING INSIDE THE STORY

CHILDREN’S TOUR INSPIRED BY THINGS WE DO FOR LOVE IN COLLABORATION WITH CONTARTE

REGISTER HERE

Things We Do for Love is an exhibition that began as a trip by the artist Erick Meyenberg to a remote place: Japan. Traveling Inside the Story is a journey for children that takes the idea of the expedition as a starting point to embark on a trip through different areas of Arte Abierto and its surroundings. It is an opportunity to become explorers and observe the environment in a different way.

This expedition includes several stations in Arte Abierto’s Garden, the lobby and the Things We Do for Love exhibition. At each station, stories of travelers from other times who ended up finding themselves will be told.

How can we transform the everyday environment into something special?

With the idea that to be transported is to transform, this small expedition is an invitation for girls and boys to carry out explorations of listening with closed eyes, observation through spyglasses and movement dynamics, to focus their attention on small fragments of reality and form visual, auditory, and physical metaphors as they walk.

Activity in collaboration with ContARTE.

Oral narrator: Emma Reyes.

NOTE FOR MOMS AND DADS:

At the beginning of the tour, the girls and boys will meet at Arte Abierto’s lobby, moms and dads must follow and accompany their kids at a certain distance at all times.

The narrator and Arte Abierto’s staff will guide and invite the children to follow the instructions and the route, always counting on the support and care of parents.

IN THOSE WATERS, IN ALL WATERS

CELLO IMPROVISATION WITH NATALIA PÉREZ TURNER

REGISTER HERE

In those waters, in all waters is an improvisation and live interpretation that cellist Natalia Pérez Turner will perform based on Things We Do for Love. This sound action is a reinterpretation of the work and an opportunity to dialogue again with the already finished piece (after almost a year of having participated in the musical composition for the video installation), in order to revisit it from the cello and be able to react immediately. not only to the images, but to the sensations and atmospheres that they generate together in space.

It is a search to transform the work again, make music part of its plastic content and invite the public to perceive the sound of the cello in an almost visible way, like the images themselves.

For the sound design of Things We Do for Love, Erick Meyenberg decided not to accompany the images with its real sound, but to experiment with the emotional and suggestive abstraction of electronic music, conducted by Roderic, in dialogue with Natalia’s cello performance. Pérez Turner, who contributed a great affective depth to the work and the space.

In this video installation, music is the emotional support that suggests multiple simultaneous readings and the sensation of being in an occupied space from floor to ceiling.
