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.

Plastic integration of the buildings of the central campus at CU: its murals

Live talk with Gustavo Lipkau and Xavier Hierro about the plastic integration of the buildings of the central campus at CU: its murals.

At < Arte Abierto > we continue with our program Derives of Art and Architecture, and as special guests we have architects Gustavo Lipkau and Xavier Hierro.

The Central Campus at UNAM is an architectural complex in which engineers and artists jointly participated with the intention of merging disciplines such as architecture, painting and sculpture, under what became known as Plastic Integration.

In this talk, Gustavo Lipkau and Xavier Hierro will address the processes and searches of this movement and how it is reflected in eight fundamental buildings and murals on the university campus. It will be a conversation that, beyond theory, the architects will share events and anecdotes around the construction of this key space for Mexico City.

In parallel, he has added experiences in the design and manufacture of furniture, production of audiovisual works and installations and, more recently, in large-scale painting.

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