DERIVES OF ART & ACHITECTURE

The Route of Friendship MEXICO68… beyond 1968.

A conversation with Luis Javier de la Torre.

n our fifth session of Derives of Art An Achetecture in Arte Abierto we invited the President of the Patronato Ruta de la Amistad, A.C. Luis Javier de la Torre, who’s conversation will guide us to rediscover the current Route of Friendship MEXICO68, integrated by 22 monumental sculptures located south of Mexico City and which were designed especially for the Olympic Games by artists from five continents.

Currently, the sculptures and their surroundings are home to different actions: multidisciplinary art in natural environments that are complex to conceive in urban life, as well as activities that break with the daily routine of a road as complex as the Periférico Sur. 54 years after its creation, the Route retains its original surprise factor for those who stand at the foot of the works.

Luis Javier de la Torre (Mexico City, 1964)
He is currently president of the Patronato Ruta de la Amistad A.C. He has dedicated himself to the field of management and communication, carrying out public relations projects in the advertising field and fund management in the cultural field. He has a graphic design studio that offers communication alternatives to projects with an artistic and ecological focus. In 1992 he began his research around The Route of Friendship project, and in 1994 he created, together with the architect Javier Ramírez Campuzano, the Patronato Ruta de la Amistad A.C., an institution dedicated to rescuing, preserving and disseminating the cultural legacy derived from the Olympic Games in Mexico. In 1996, in collaboration with Gonzalo Fonseca, he opens the Torre de los Vientos to house independent artistic projects. At the same time, he creates and directs the De-construction project and carries out urban ecological recovery initiatives, such as the restoration of the pedregales.

< Arte Abierto > continues with its new public program “Derivas de arte y arquitectura”, which seeks to renew our gaze on the architectural legacy of Mexico City. From a series of talks focused on rescuing the parallel stories of emblematic architectural projects and public spaces that have witnessed the variable intersection between art and architecture. In this first stage, the program deals mainly with modern architecture, based on a series of talks given by invited curators, architects, artists and urban planners.

With this program, ways of returning to architecture part of its public, experiential, collective character and close to those of us who inhabit the city are tested, recognizing in it its condition as a living archive. From these talks, circumstances, contexts and anecdotes are revealed that have been part of his sensitive memory and that complement his material memory, a relationship that often escapes documentary narratives and academic accounts.

The objective of the drifts is to generate experiences of spatial rediscovery, which allow us to renew our gaze on the legacy of certain emblematic architectural and artistic works, as well as those that have been forgotten.

The derives will be carried out free of charge on the last Saturday of each month, at 1:00 p.m. with a limited capacity.

DERIVES OF ART & ACHITECTURE

The house/studio Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo.

From the domestic space to the public dimension

Conversation with Marisol Argüelles

For our fourth session of Derives of Art An Achetectureen <Arte Abierto> we have as a guest the curator and researcher Marisol Argüelles. 

The Museo Casa Estudio Diego Rivera y Frida Kahlo, is composed by four architectural bodies built between 1929 and 1934, it was created as the home of two of the most iconic figures of the cultural environment of the 20th century: Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo. Its architect, Juan O’Gorman, conceived these spaces as “inhabiting machines” through workshops and studios that are the guiding axis of his architectural design.

From its restoration in the 1980s, its private nature was altered to become a public site, also modifying the way of being inhabited.

DERIVES OF ART AND ARCHITECTURE

Plastic integration of the buildings of the central campus at CU: its murals

Live talk with Gustavo Lipkau and Xavier Hierro about the plastic integration of the buildings of the central campus at CU: its murals.

At < Arte Abierto > we continue with our program Derives of Art and Architecture, and as special guests we have architects Gustavo Lipkau and Xavier Hierro.

The Central Campus at UNAM is an architectural complex in which engineers and artists jointly participated with the intention of merging disciplines such as architecture, painting and sculpture, under what became known as Plastic Integration.

In this talk, Gustavo Lipkau and Xavier Hierro will address the processes and searches of this movement and how it is reflected in eight fundamental buildings and murals on the university campus. It will be a conversation that, beyond theory, the architects will share events and anecdotes around the construction of this key space for Mexico City.
