DERIVES OF ART & ACHITECTURE

The Route of Friendship MEXICO68… beyond 1968.

A conversation with Luis Javier de la Torre.

n our fifth session of Derives of Art An Achetecture in Arte Abierto we invited the President of the Patronato Ruta de la Amistad, A.C. Luis Javier de la Torre, who’s conversation will guide us to rediscover the current Route of Friendship MEXICO68, integrated by 22 monumental sculptures located south of Mexico City and which were designed especially for the Olympic Games by artists from five continents.

Currently, the sculptures and their surroundings are home to different actions: multidisciplinary art in natural environments that are complex to conceive in urban life, as well as activities that break with the daily routine of a road as complex as the Periférico Sur. 54 years after its creation, the Route retains its original surprise factor for those who stand at the foot of the works.

Luis Javier de la Torre (Mexico City, 1964)
He is currently president of the Patronato Ruta de la Amistad A.C. He has dedicated himself to the field of management and communication, carrying out public relations projects in the advertising field and fund management in the cultural field. He has a graphic design studio that offers communication alternatives to projects with an artistic and ecological focus. In 1992 he began his research around The Route of Friendship project, and in 1994 he created, together with the architect Javier Ramírez Campuzano, the Patronato Ruta de la Amistad A.C., an institution dedicated to rescuing, preserving and disseminating the cultural legacy derived from the Olympic Games in Mexico. In 1996, in collaboration with Gonzalo Fonseca, he opens the Torre de los Vientos to house independent artistic projects. At the same time, he creates and directs the De-construction project and carries out urban ecological recovery initiatives, such as the restoration of the pedregales.

< 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.

DERIVES OF ART & ACHITECTURE

The house/studio Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo.

From the domestic space to the public dimension

Conversation with Marisol Argüelles

For our fourth session of Derives of Art An Achetectureen <Arte Abierto> we have as a guest the curator and researcher Marisol Argüelles. 

The Museo Casa Estudio Diego Rivera y Frida Kahlo, is composed by four architectural bodies built between 1929 and 1934, it was created as the home of two of the most iconic figures of the cultural environment of the 20th century: Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo. Its architect, Juan O’Gorman, conceived these spaces as “inhabiting machines” through workshops and studios that are the guiding axis of his architectural design.

From its restoration in the 1980s, its private nature was altered to become a public site, also modifying the way of being inhabited.

I CAN BE A SEED IN THE WATERFALL

NO SOUND OF WATER VIEW GUIDED BY SOFIA PROBERT

DESCRIPTION

Arte Abierto invites our public to Troika’s No Sound of Water show, in a guided visit with biologist Sofía Probert.

  • Thursday, February 28, 2022.
  • Time: 5:00 p.m.
  • Aimed at all public.
  • Limited to 15 atendees.
  • This event is free admission and no pre-registration is required.

IN THE WATERFALL I CAN BE A SEED

As part of the public program of < Arte Abierto > and the activities of the NO SOUND OF WATER exhibition, we invite the public to revisit the Troika exhibition together with the biologist and disseminator of the climate crisis, SOFÍA PROBERT; from a new narrative that seeks to reflect on how we dialogue with the complexity that inhabiting this present entails.

In the Waterfall I can be a Seed is a journey accompanied by 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 elements that compose the installation will also be explored; such as salt, white-toned environment or sound.

From a collective dynamic outdoors and next to the trees of < Arte Abierto >, 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.

In the Waterfall I can be a Seed 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.

No Sound of Water exhibition by the Troika collective will be open to the public from November 12 to May 15, 2022 at Espacio Arte Abierto, located on the 2nd floor of ARTZ Pedregal in Mexico City.

Free admission.
