WAYS TO BE AND DO

Sky Observation with Isidro Ramírez Ballinas

Through this guided visit of Ugo Rondinone’s exhibition long last happy, we will explore different ways of interpreting and interpreting the artist’s exploration of human emotions and spirituality, taking our experiences and life stories as a starting point.

Taking as reference the Matching Melania project by Melania Chavarría, we will reflect on the use of digital platforms as contemporary tools to contemplate the celestial world that Rondinone presents to us. This exercise seeks to encourage the creation of a personal creative discourse, which allows us to establish a meaningful dialogue with the exhibition.

MELANIA CHAVARRÍA NUÑO (Mexico City) Textile and fashion designer, graduated from CENTRO (Mexico) and the Royal Academy of Fine Arts of Belgium. She has worked in various areas of the fashion industry, encompassing projects in design, styling, teaching, journalism, and creative direction both in Mexico and abroad.

From her constant quest to create her own creative discourse, Matching Melania was born, a social media project that explores the possibility of fashion deepening its design discourse by coexisting and exchanging concepts, aesthetics, and visual elements with other creative industries such as art, interior design, and architecture.

Leaving aside the immediacy and volatility with which trends are generated, this project explores fashion from a different perspective, where the human body can be the territory for exploration, questioning, and communication of ideas, making use of the different elements that make up the practice of fashion design, such as textile printing or alteration, garment customization, or styling

AN AFTERNOON UNDER THE SUN AND THE MOON

Sky Observation with Isidro Ramírez Ballinas

Join us for a unique astronomical experience where you can observe two of the most fascinating celestial bodies up close: the Sun and the Moon.

With the help of a telescope equipped with a solar filter, we will safely observe sunspots, the coldest regions on the Sun’s surface, and solar granulation, phenomena that reveal activity in its atmosphere.

Afterward, we will turn our attention to the Moon, whose relief—craters, mountains, and seas—can be appreciated in great detail thanks to solar illumination. The contrast between light and shadow will allow lunar formations to be clearly distinguished, making this observation an unforgettable visual experience.

An activity to be amazed, learn and reconnect with the sky.

SEARCH AMONG CELESTIAL BODIES

Children’s Day activity at Ugo Rondinone’s long last happy exhibition

Arte Abierto invites children and their families to a fun artistic experience to celebrate Children’s Day.

Search Among Celestial Bodies will take place within the long last happy exhibition by Swiss artist Ugo Rondinone. In this artistic adventure, little explorers, accompanied by their families, will be able to explore the exhibition in search of two figures: a sun and a moon represented as a phoenix, and a koi fish. These figures are hidden among hundreds of drawings of suns and moons that constitute the works “my age your age and the age of the sun” and “my age your age and the age of the sun”.

The project seeks to foster imagination, curiosity, and a sense of exploration in an artistic and collaborative environment that invites reflection on the passage of time and the connection between generations.

PROGRAMA PÚBLICO | long last happy

>> 

Valentina Guerrero (Chile, 1994) Holds a master’s degree in Visual Arts from UNAM and is part of SOMA’s (Mexico City) educational program. Through her artistic research, Valentina explores issues related to the Capitalocene, hegemonic conceptions of nature, and the sociocultural meanings we assign to certain elements and bodies, such as the landscape. Her current work focuses on video, experimental writing, and the creation of glass pieces, which are activated through group cloud-gazing exercises. These optical and textual objects seek to reflect on how the sky and clouds can be perceived as monstrous traces of climate colonialism, linking empirical experiences with far-reaching historical events.

Her work has been exhibited nationally and internationally at the Anahuacalli Museum (MX), the Museum of Visual Arts (CL), the Fortnight Institute (USA), Espacio Belgrado (ARG), Roam Projects (DE), the Carrillo Gil Art Museum (MX), the Telearte Institute (CL), and the Artespacio Gallery (CL), among others.
