As part of the activities of Art Week in Mexico City, Arte Abierto invites you to the open house of the exhibition Temporal Advantage by artist Mauro Giaconi, taking place on Friday, February 6.
Arte Abierto invites the public interested in contemporary art to the exhibition's open house Temporary Advantage by the artist Mauro Giaconi, which will take place on Friday, February 6, as part of the activities of the Art Week in Mexico City.
TemporaryAdvantage is an installation that invites the spectator to question notions of truth, reality and time. Giaconi constructs a symbolic story where material, conceptual and sensory are integrated to blur the boundaries between reality and fiction. Through drawing, installation and the use of ephemeral materials, Giaconi explores the tension between what remains and what wears out, as well as the physical and symbolic traces left by the passage of time on bodies, spaces and systems of power.
The open house offers a direct encounter with the exhibition and with the artist in ArteAbierto Pedregal, inviting visitors to explore the exhibition from a close experience and without curatorial mediation. In line with the institution's approach, the event seeks to promote free dialogue between work, artist and public, in a context of open exchange during one of the busiest weeks of the city's artistic calendar.
Mauro Giaconi graduated from the National School of Fine Arts “Prilidiano Pueyrredón” (E.N.B.A.P.P., Buenos Aires, Argentina). He has lived and worked in Mexico City since 2011, where he works as a visual artist and independent cultural manager.
His artistic practice explores, through various media such as drawing, graphic intervention, sculpture, and installation, the tension between the real and the apparent. His recent interests focus on appearance and simulation as strategies of resistance, survival, and power, from which he proposes fractures in visual, historical, and political conventions.
His work has been featured in renowned national and international publications; he has participated in various international artist residencies and has exhibited in museums and institutions across the Americas and Europe.
Simultaneously, he works as an independent cultural manager. He is the founder and director of projects such as Obrera Centro, a space for creative encounters and exploration within the artistic community, and HerratecA, a community tool-lending library that functions like a public library but with tools and skills; both are based in Mexico City.
In the field of education, he coordinates independent projects for artistic training, such as Proyecto Imán, seminars on work analysis and artistic production, and DibujE, a study group focused on drawing in contemporary art, among others.
Since 2025, he has been a member of the National System of Art Creators (SNA).
