THE COLLECTION CHRONICLES

ARCANA FOOTPRINT

Visit + Workshop

In this visit, we will explore how tarot can be used as a narrative and interpretive tool for art, and how art constructs a personal narrative. We will conclude the tour with an instant print workshop, in which, using simple materials such as disposable plates, vegetables, and fruits, we will print an engraving that tells our life story based on a brief introduction to the 22 Major Arcana of the Tarot. This activity is an opportunity to explore creativity, life narratives, and the connection between art and tarot.

The Collection Chronicles is a program that offers different ways to explore Arte Abierto’s permanent collection. Through various activities that invite the public to experiment and play with the works—regardless of their prior knowledge—participants will be able to inhabit spaces for dialogue where contemporary art is experienced in a close and collective way, open to multiple interpretations.

Arte Abierto has a solid collection of works by highly relevant artists in the field of contemporary art on loan. Some of these installations and works were selected or commissioned from the very beginning of ARTZ, which was conceived as a small city where users can enjoy spaces for recreation, leisure, exercise, work, residential life, and art, all in one place. This fosters social cohesion and facilitates encounters between people through its spaces, creating bridges between everyday life, art, and contemporary culture.

The Collection Chronicles are held at Arte Abierto Pedregal and are free-of-charge.
