12 Oct AMBIENT TO READ: TEXTURES 🗓 🗺
Sound action and reading session in Modthen Nature
As part of Arte Abierto’s Public Program that derives from the exhibition Modthern Nature by Gabriela Galván, which approaches different ways of understanding nature and the ecosystem of El Pedregal, Ambient to read proposes a live ambient and reading session within room, inspired by the textures within exhibition.
At Modthern Nature the surfaces are full of textures that can range from smooth to rough, that is why we turn to them to be able to build a bridge between music, reading and the pieces in the exhibition, with their gardens and technologies for sustaining life. For this session, Ambient to read brings together two musicians, Neurokill and Nico to mix a live ambient set, and the artist and poet Rocío Gallardo, who will share poems authored by her and other writers from a fanzine. Additionally, Coffee to Read will share some vessels with us to accompany the session.
As on every occasion, there will be coffee to share. Bring your readings! Welcome!

AMBIENT PARA LEER
Is a proposal by Prohibido, Deseo and Café para leer. The three projects come together to offer a space where DJs interested in experimentation prepare a set thinking about various bodily alterations linked to the act of reading. The selection of texts and the setting is carried out by a guest artist per session, who proposes a textual route based on music. Ambient to read is an installation that seeks to tense the party with reading, breaking the cliché that in the first there is no knowledge and that the second only happens in the interior of silence. Interested in working with the decontextualization of spaces: electronic music outside of club culture, reading outside of academia, and art outside of galleries. The effect is always unexpected, however, the intention is to open a threshold so that bodies can be attentive to their surroundings, to the affections of the music and the intensities that all reading fosters.
