I CAN BE A SEED IN THE WATERFALL

A guided visit to Troika’s No Sound of Water exhibition by Sofía Porbert

• Thursday, April 28, 2022 at 5:00 pm.

• The objective of this activity is to revisit Troika’s No Sound of Water show with Sofía Probert.

• Free admission.

• There will be a limited number of 15 participants.

• No registration required.

• At Espacio Arte Abierto and gardens.

Arte Abierto invites the general public to revisit the Troika’s exhibition No Sound of Water together with biologist Sofía Probert, from a new narrative that seeks to reflect on how we dialogue with the complexity that inhabiting this present entails.

I Can Be a Seed in the Waterfall is a guided visit with Sofía Probert that seeks to intersperse the content of the exhibition No Sound of Water with its symbolic, biological level and with its intimate and sensitive scope, a scope that we discover as we are inside the installation.

It is an introspective visit to delve into the different concepts that the exhibition addresses; such as the idea of the anthropocene, the notion of the inhospitable, synthetic biology, fictitious ecosystems, the power to imagine futures or the possibility of the existence of non-organic intelligences. Some installation elements will also be explored; such as salt, white-toned environment or sound.

From a collective dynamic in the open air and next to Arte Abierto’s trees, the participants will be able to close the process of their visit by sharing their experience in order to create a collective map of emotions.

I Can Be a Seed in the Waterfall is an invitation to (re)think the future of life based on one’s own experiences.

Sofía Probert (1999)

She is currently studying Biology at the Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana UAM, Xochimilco. Her interest in biology has led her to develop, from different artistic disciplines, a constant dialogue between organic life and aesthetics, combining digital and analog processes. Her work proposes to rethink our relationship with the natural world from a critical reflection on the anthropocentric view of biodiversity, living beings and nature. Probert explores the ways in which organic life expresses itself aesthetically and develops a constant political discourse around socio-environmental problems such as the climate crisis and the struggle for women’s liberation.

Sofía Probert has participated in the El Aleph Festival organized by UNAM, in the Synergic exhibition in London, organized by Óvalo Galería de Arte and Art Number 23, in the Bahidorá Carnival Art Circuit in Las Estacas, Morelos, and has collaborated with illustrations for the New York Times Magazine, Revista Ambulante and Chilango.

She has collaborated in podcasts, interviews and disclosure texts for different media.

CONVERSATION: LA TORRE DE LOS VIENTOS

URBAN ENVIRONMENT, EVERYDAY LIFE AND ART

• Live conversation with Tania Ragasol.

• Saturday, February 26, 2022. at 12:00 pm.

• The event will be held at Espacio Arte Abierto, located on the 2nd floor in Artz Pedregal.

• Free admission.

The curator and art historian Tania Ragasol will talk in <Arte Abierto> about the history, importance and present of La Torre de los Vientos, an inhabitable sculpture that can also be thought of as an object perched on the urban fabric, a ghost of the urban landscape and a witness of the city.

La Torre de los Vientos was created by the artist and architect Gonzalo Fonseca (Uruguay, 1922 – Italy, 1997) as part of the Friendship Route (Ruta de la Amistad), a project conceived by Mathias Goeritz with the support of Pedro Ramírez Vázquez, to create a sculpture corridor with 19 stations (sculptures) by artists from five continents.

Part of this story will be revisited from the voice of Ragasol: from the creation of the project in the framework of the 1968 Mexico Olympic Games, to its current cultural program. The talk will be woven with personal anecdotes and historical data that account for the existence and future of La Torre de los Vientos, as well as its importance in the contemporary art scene in Mexico City in the 1990s.

The conversation follows up on the story that the presenter has made of this tower in #Visor, a podcast that she makes for the platform @convoynetwork.

TROIKA: NO SOUND OF WATER

< ARTE ABIERTO > PRESENTS TROIKA’S NO SOUND OF WATER

• No Sound of Water is an immersive, large-format installation that takes the visitor into an isolated, salt-filled reality. Being inside, you can feel an atmosphere that transports you to a place that could exist in the future.

• Through an installation that simulates a fictitious ecosystem, the collective seeks to reflect on the future of the Earth and its transformation into an inhospitable place as a result of human activity.

• The exhibition will be open from November 12, 2021 to May 15, 2022 at Espacio Arte Abierto located in Artz Pedregal.

<Arte Abierto> presents Troika’s work through two installations that are exhibited for the first time in Mexico: No Sound of Water (2021), commissioned by the Arte Abierto Foundation, and Terminal Beach (2020).

For more than two decades, the Troika contemporary art collective, formed in 2003 by Eva Rucki (Germany, 1976), Conny Freyer (Germany, 1976) and Sebastian Noel (France, 1977), has sought to challenge our perception of the world and its eventual destruction. For the No Sound of Water exhibition, they present two artworks that together form a hostile and desolate landscape that, although it could be thought of as part of a fictitious ecosystem, could become reality as a result of various destructive human actions. Far from stating an ecological discourse or moral, the exhibition focuses on the problems caused by technological, capitalist and industrial advances and the impact they have to such a degree that they cause a new geological era (the Anthropocene) and the eventual decomposition of the Earth. .

No Sound of Water forms part of Troika’s ongoing project Untertage. Meaning “below the earth”, or literally, “under the day”, Untertage takes shape as an elaborate ecosystemic fiction: its protagonist, salt, is devised as the hero of an aeonian drama of world domination. The crystal takes centre stage as an agent of cultural evolution, the critical component for the tools without which human civilization could not have developed as we know it.

Troika’s No Sound of Water is open from November 12, 2021 to May 15, 2022 at Espacio Arte Abierto located on the 2nd floor of ARTZ Pedregal: Periférico Sur 3720, Jardines del Pedregal, Álvaro Obregón, Mexico City.
