Conversation between Eder Castillo and Arturo Ortiz Struck about the production and linking processes of Eder Castillo.
For the final Derive of 2024, and on the occasion of the presentation of GuggenSITO at Múltiple, Eder Castillo will talk about his production and collaborative processes with Arturo Ortiz Struck, as well as the strategies applied in this project and throughout the body of work he has developed to date.
Eder Castillo is an artist who hybridizes the cultural institution and the artistic object to create exceptional spaces, spaces different from those produced by the current city, and also different from those that make up museums and art centers. Through different experiences, he emphasizes performativity and interactivity. His work has focused on the generation of spaces and aesthetic moments that allow the encounter and interaction between non-traditional audiences and art.
We resume Derives of Art and Architecture in 2025, follow our social networks for more information.
