THE COLLECTION CHRONICLES

MAGNETIC PROJECTION

Visit + Workshop

Contemporary art doesn’t follow rules or fixed interests. It isn’t governed by pre-established values; in fact, it unfolds in multiple directions, influenced by the context, experience, and thinking of each artist.

With this idea as a starting point, we invite families to explore some pieces from Arte Abierto Collection. During the visit, we will explore some concepts and processes that shape contemporary practices. At the end, each family will collaboratively create a conceptual portrait, freely combining techniques such as painting, drawing, pastels, collage, writing, or object appropriation.

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.
