The Central Campus of the UNAM is an architectural complex in which engineers and artists jointly participated with the intention of merging disciplines such as architecture, painting and sculpture, under what became known as Plastic Integration. In this talk, Gustavo Lipkau and Xavier Hierro will address the processes and searches of this movement and how it is reflected in eight fundamental buildings and murals on the university campus.

< Arte Abierto > continues with its new public program “Derivas de arte yarquitectura”, 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 drifts will be carried out free of charge on the last Saturday of each month, at 1:00 p.m. with a limited capacity.
