A space to share. Here you can talk, contemplate, ask, explore or hang out; come alone or accompanied, with friends or family, together with children, young people or adults.
Arte Abierto presents for the first time Multiple, a program that seeks to generate connections, exchanges and collaborations with projects that explore different possibilities of approaching art from various disciplines.
During the months of October and November, Multiple will bring together four projects to experiment with processes of digital art, dance, public art and theater, using our exhibition hall simultaneously to transform it into an open forum for activities and a space for interaction between audiences, projects and artists.
The objective of Arte Abierto is to create a program to spontaneously share and connect with art through devices, presentations, workshops and activities that reflect the personality, processes, themes and particular searches of each of our guests:
CUTOUT TRACK 03* — Digital art
STROKE — Contemporary dance
FACTO THEATER — Theater
GUGGENSITO — Public art and social architecture
All the activities of Multiple they are free and for all audiences.
Follow our social networks to learn more about the program and schedules.

Rodrigo Garrido's work challenges the boundaries between the biological and the algorithmic through its Sentient Sculptures. These works, which intrinsically merge artificial intelligence, digital manufacturing and computer simulations, function as systems that explore and decode the essence of the human species, our minds, and the social constructs that define us.
His vision is profoundly influenced by his previous experience as an entrepreneur, allowing him to dissect the technical conditions and structures of human invention with a critical and multidisciplinary perspective. Under this premise, his sculptures not only propose an avant-garde aesthetic, but they act as vehicles to understand our future potentials.
In recent years, this proposal has gained great relevance in the art scene, most notably his solo exhibition at the Laboratorio de Arte Alameda (2024), as well as his passage through Patio by Zona Maco, Clavo Seis and Mutek MX festival. His global recognition includes the nomination for the prestigious Lumen Prize 2023 and the artist of the week badge for BBA Prize 2024 in Germany, consolidating him as one of the strongest voices at the intersection between technology and humanity.
Contemporary dance cycle that in each edition presents a thematic selection of short-form solo and duets in spaces not designed for dance. The cycle seeks to give visibility to contemporary dance through intervention in the physical space and architecture of a specific place, thinking of it as a possibility of creation and reading, bringing dance closer to places not designed for this discipline.
