To start the program Parallel landscapes, the first visit will be a tour of the Anahuacalli Ecological Space, which is one of the treasures that the Museum houses. In this one there are almost 20,000 m2 of endemic vegetation, several water wells, and a sea of volcanic rock from the eruption of the Xitle volcano. This tour helps to understand how the original architecture, designed by Diego Rivera, combines landscape with functionalist architecture and aspects of pre-Hispanic cosmogony; while the architectural extension acts as a contemporary reinterpretation of existing buildings and dialogues with the volcanic environment in a game with rugged topography.
After the tour of the Anahuacalli Ecological Space, Plant Writings will share We live in a plant world that we inhabit, an activity to reflect on the blurred limits of the notion of interior-exterior, and environment-contour, to which architecture has adapted us. To this end, a collective drawing will be created on the windows and mirrors of the Anahuacalli workshop, taking into account the landscapes that are reflected and intertwined there to play with the boundaries of the environments that surround us and that make up the Museum in relation to the plant world.
Arte Abierto inicia su programa de mediación y comunicación educativa 2022 con una conversación entre la investigadora y escritora Irmgard Emmelhainz y Sebastien Noel de Troika, tomando la exposición No Sound of Water como punto de partida.
