TRAVELING INSIDE THE STORY

CHILDREN’S TOUR INSPIRED BY THINGS WE DO FOR LOVE IN COLLABORATION WITH CONTARTE

Things We Do for Love is an exhibition that began as a trip by the artist Erick Meyenberg to a remote place: Japan. Traveling Inside the Story is a journey for children that takes the idea of the expedition as a starting point to embark on a trip through different areas of Arte Abierto and its surroundings. It is an opportunity to become explorers and observe the environment in a different way.

This expedition includes several stations in Arte Abierto’s Garden, the lobby and the Things We Do for Love exhibition. At each station, stories of travelers from other times who ended up finding themselves will be told.

How can we transform the everyday environment into something special?

With the idea that to be transported is to transform, this small expedition is an invitation for girls and boys to carry out explorations of listening with closed eyes, observation through spyglasses and movement dynamics, to focus their attention on small fragments of reality and form visual, auditory, and physical metaphors as they walk.

Activity in collaboration with ContARTE.

Oral narrator: Emma Reyes.

NOTE FOR MOMS AND DADS:

At the beginning of the tour, the girls and boys will meet at Arte Abierto’s lobby, moms and dads must follow and accompany their kids at a certain distance at all times.

The narrator and Arte Abierto’s staff will guide and invite the children to follow the instructions and the route, always counting on the support and care of parents.

IN THOSE WATERS, IN ALL WATERS

CELLO IMPROVISATION WITH NATALIA PÉREZ TURNER

REGISTER HERE

In those waters, in all waters is an improvisation and live interpretation that cellist Natalia Pérez Turner will perform based on Things We Do for Love. This sound action is a reinterpretation of the work and an opportunity to dialogue again with the already finished piece (after almost a year of having participated in the musical composition for the video installation), in order to revisit it from the cello and be able to react immediately. not only to the images, but to the sensations and atmospheres that they generate together in space.

It is a search to transform the work again, make music part of its plastic content and invite the public to perceive the sound of the cello in an almost visible way, like the images themselves.

For the sound design of Things We Do for Love, Erick Meyenberg decided not to accompany the images with its real sound, but to experiment with the emotional and suggestive abstraction of electronic music, conducted by Roderic, in dialogue with Natalia’s cello performance. Pérez Turner, who contributed a great affective depth to the work and the space.

In this video installation, music is the emotional support that suggests multiple simultaneous readings and the sensation of being in an occupied space from floor to ceiling.

QUANTUM PRELUDE. SOUND ACTIVATION BY TANIA CANDIANI.

A conversation with Tania Candiani.

For our 9th Art an Architecture Derive our special guest speaker is Tania Candiani.

In this derive, the artist Tania Candiani will talk about her work Quantum Prelude, a two-channel audiovisual installation with octophonic sound and original music by Rogelio Sosa, in which different paradigms and readings on the perception and understanding of the emergence of life are intertwined and the world, ranging from ancestral indigenous knowledge and worldview to the implications of quantum physics.

The project, which was born after Candiani’s residence at CERN (The European Organization for Nuclear Research) takes shape at UNAM’s Sculptural Space, in the circular megalithic monument, circumscribed by 64 triangular prisms; 64 musicians were summoned, thus replicating the arithmetic, geometric and harmonic qualities constitutive of the sonority of music, the laws of physics, the organizing principle of nature and the expansiveness of the cosmos.

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

Things We Do for Love transversal visit with Mara Fortes

DESCRIPTION

As part of our activities linked to the exhibition Things We Do for Love we have a special visit with Mara Fortes.

Time: 5:30 p.m. – 7:00 p.m.
Aimed at all public
Limited admission
This visit/workshop is free

CINEMA-FISSURES
Things We Do for Love transversal visit with Mara Fortes.

The purpose of this visit is to investigate the extra-visual dimension of cinema, based on the idea of the “fissure of the image”, inspired by the concept of kintsugi that is addressed in Things We Do for Love.

Through exercises in the exhibition space of direct experience and a brief capsule of historical references, we will explore how this audiovisual installation awakens auditory, proprioceptive (the brain’s ability to recognize the muscles of the body in space), and intuitive intelligence. The visit is an invitation to be undisciplined spectators, to stretch time, fold space, feel the image, and navigate the multiverse of cinema —to grasp what overflows from the screen, sculpts stories and suspends the parameters that define our everyday reality.

Mara Fortes
Researcher and curator of cinema and audiovisual media. Her research focuses on media archaeology, installation art, avant-garde film history, experimental and expanded film, sound art, and queer film. She has curated for the Reina Sofía Museum, London MexFest, La otra bienal, REDCAT, and the Centro de Cultura Digital. Since 2003 she has worked in film distribution and exhibition, collaborating with NGOs such as Women Make Movies, and programming for various festivals, including the Morelia International Film Festival, the Ambulante Festival, and CUÓRUM. She is currently a Senior Curator at the Festival de Telluride.

MEMORY BEAT

CERAMIC WRITING WORKSHOP

WITH SANDRA SÁNCHEZ

DESCRIPTION

Arte Abierto begins the Public Program activities linked to the exhibition Things We Do for Love with a ceramic writing workshop taught by Sandra Sánchez.

Saturday October 15, 2022.
Time: 12:00 p.m. – 3:00 p.m.
Aimed at all public: children, youth and adults.
Limited admission | Prior registration at actividades@arteabierto.org
This workshop is free.

MEMORY BEAT

This workshop is an invitation to explore personal memory through narrative, visual and tactile writing. We will investigate our own history and translate specific experiences into forms, sensations, intensities and flows.

Ceramics will allow us to capture not only stories and figures, but also forces, footprints and body movements. In addition to making an inquiry about intimacy and writing. The result will be a piece of pottery that each participant can take home, like a talisman.

No prior knowledge is required.

IMPORTANT: As we will be working on low-temperature ceramics, after the workshop, we will keep your piece for burning. A week later we will have the piece already fired and enameled available for you to pick up at Arte Abierto.

Sandra Sánchez Writes in different media, including ceramics. Her current research focuses on modes of collaborative writing and proposals for production and reception beyond the aesthetic relationship “artist-work-spectator”. In 2015 she founded Zona de Desgaste, a space dedicated to mediation, writing and critical reflection on contemporary art and art philosophy. She currently edits OndaMx magazine, leads Aeromoto Library and teaches at Universidad del Claustro de Sor Juana.

The ideal of the multifamily apartment complex.

A conversation with Juan José Kochen.

We all know some Housing Unit in Mexico City, we have visited them or even lived in them. They are considered a symbol of modernity in our country, but what stories do they hide? And how have they defined the ways of life and the image of the capital?

Join us in our 8th Art and Achitecture Derive, Juan José Kochen will talk about the idea of the multifamily apartment complex in Mexico City.

The term multi-family emerged to identify a grouped housing typology –at different levels– to accommodate homes based on a social unit for the transformation of collective relations in the urban landscape.

Between notions of progress, modernization, “stabilizing development” and the “Mexican miracle”, the Welfare State built houses with squares, parks, gardens, murals, public art and infrastructure to add cities within the city.

How was the multi-family experience? What did we learn and what did we forget? Multifamily homes are the modern utopia of a Mexico without neighborhoods.
