03 Dec ARTE ABIERTO OPENS NEW VENUE IN BAJA CALIFORNIA SUR 🗓 🗺

ARTE ABIERTO BAJA

NEW VENUE IN BAJA CALIFORNIA SUR

• Arte Abierto Baja will operate through collaboration with local artists and cultural agents, learning from the environment and its people, fostering sensitive and spontaneous conversations, without the figure of the curator as mediator.
• Arte Abierto proposes a model where art is built from interaction, experience, and dialogue with the public.
• It opens the doors of its new venue with an installation by Mexican artist Abraham Cruzvillegas.

Arte Abierto is pleased to announce the opening of Arte Abierto Baja, its new venue in the heart of Cabo del Sol, located within the architectural complex of Ánima Village. The installation presented for the inauguration of our space is by Mexican artist Abraham Cruzvillegas.

With the opening of Arte Abierto Baja, the Foundation expands the vision it began in 2019 in Mexico City: a cultural affairs model that seeks to break down barriers between contemporary art and diverse audiences, prioritizing direct experience, interaction, and collective learning.

Arte Abierto Baja is a space that will function as an experimental laboratory for the creation and dissemination of artistic projects, inspired by the philosophy of Grupo SOMA’s architectural complexes.

What has set us apart from other cultural projects—and what we aim to preserve—is our cultural affairs model, which seeks to build a genuine connection with a broad range of audiences, encouraging learning and creative experiences beyond specialized or even museum environments.

>> The new venue is divided into two architectural spaces:

The first: a 179 m² concrete container with a height of 6 meters, without a roof, designed to host pieces created specifically for the context. Here, the Commissions and Exhibitions Program will host national and international artists who will develop site-specific works that dialogue with the territory and its communities.

The second: a space dedicated to bringing Arte Abierto’s Public Program to life, offering multiple activities designed to host workshops, open processes, meetings with young artists, and multidisciplinary activities. A fertile territory dedicated to learning, community engagement, and exposure to new creative experiences for the local community.

The installation that opens the space dedicated to the Commissions and Exhibitions Program: a work created from the territory by Abraham Cruzvillegas.

THERE IS NO MANUAL:

POLITICAL IMAGINATION AND THE MAKING OF CONTEMPORARY ART

Theoretical and practical workshop led by Sandra Sánchez and Pablo Rasgado

This three-day theoretical and practical workshop will explore the role of imagination as a political tool, specifically an artistic imagination that abandons isolation to engage with untamed knowledge, local practices, materials, and specific narratives. Examples will be provided, and exercises will be conducted to identify a problem or area of reality that can be challenged through imaginative action. The aim is not to propose something new, but to fracture the existing order in order to re-enchant it and restore its meaning.

WED.26.NOV.2025
Led by >> Pablo Rasgado
Location >> Arte Abierto Pedregal

The first part will consist of a review of the participants’ work, followed by an exercise in “wild references”: an open exchange of images, texts, and case studies between instructors and participants to broaden the frameworks from which each artist is working. During the second part, and based on the references gathered, we will review key examples that have marked past decades to analyze how the art system is being reconfigured in the present, focusing on the question: what defines artistic practice today?

THU.27.NOV.2025
Led by >> Sandra Sánchez
Location >> Arte Abierto Pedregal

During the first part of the session, we will do body exercises to deconstruct the central gaze and open it to listening and the haptic. During the second part, we will explore how the artist’s body can open up a political space using examples from works by Ana Mendieta, Vito Acconci, Verónica Gerber, Regina José Galindo, and Tania Bruguera, as well as texts by Marlene Dumas and Brian Massumi.

WED.03.DIC.2025
Led by >> Sandra Sánchez y Pablo Rasgado
Location >> Obrera centrO

Reversing the teaching roles, in this session, workshop participants will bring an imaginative action exercise with their respective natural references to share with the group. We will use floating attention and free association as means of listening and collective feedback. We will discuss their strategies and create a collective manual to open a space based on imaginative actions.

Sandra Sánchez is an artist, curator, writer, and editor. Her work is based on the practical possibilities of art, collaboration, and listening to critically disrupt the sensitive logics of neoliberalism. She is part of El Cuarto de los Ojos Sucios (a performance space dedicated to the mediation, exhibition, and reflection on contemporary painting), and research groups such as Máquina Simple and Ambient para Leer. She is the editor of the digital magazine Onda MX and a lecturer at Universidad del Claustro de Sor Juana.

THE CITY IS A GAME

Workshop by Amarillo Público. Urban Public Art Service

This workshop aims to expand the possibilities for using public space, understanding the city as a place full of “invisible” layers that must be understood in order to intervene. We will explore concepts such as everyday life, the infraordinary, the politics of the senses, and contextual art. As part of the activity, we will create signage to assign new meaning to urban space.

MEETINGS POINT

Intervention by Amarillo Público. Urban Public Art Service

For five weeks, Amarillo Público will create an intervention at Arte Abierto to propose a game of spatial exploration using textile arrows that will invite the discovery of multiple meeting points. Faced with the urban saturation of one-way arrows—which impose order and a single meaning—this project will question: Can an arrow point toward surprise, the unknown, and discovery? Where do these arrows lead? This piece invites people to walk and discover not only an intervention but also an encounter with others.

All the arrows in the installation will be “oriented” toward Arte Abierto, guiding the way to the encounter and discovery of the main work, which will take place on the terrace.

MEDITATIO SONUS

Special cycle of sound-guided meditations

Arte Abierto presents a special cycle of Meditatio Sonus. This sound art series proposes sound-guided meditations and fosters mindfulness through the practice of deep listening. In this edition, the series will run over two days, with two different meditations each day: one in the morning and one in the afternoon.

The meditations will take place in a gallery between Ugo Rondinone’s sculptures The Sun (2022) and The Moon (2022), creating an immersive experience that connects visual and sound art.

Commissioned sound artists will conduct research on the relationship between mind, sound, and technology. The four meditation sessions will be guided live through sound pieces created specifically for this series.

Meditatio Sonus is a space for researching the phenomenon of sound from the perspective of art, linking the practice of listening and meditation.

MEDITATIO SONUS – PROGRAM

SAT.JUN.07.2025 – 11:00 AM
SARMEN ALMOND

Through this sound meditation, entitled Inner Sea, we will seek to restore our full breathing, deep listening, and harmony within the physical and mental body. We will begin with exercises for full breathing and relaxation, to prepare us for meditation. Likewise, we will recognize our posture and consciously perceive our body, locating tension and releasing thoughts. Sound will connect us with our inner universe, with breathing emanating frequencies, calm whispers, and colors that trigger calm, stillness, and creativity.

SAT.JUN.07.2025 – 5:00PM
YAIR LÓPEZ

Bin bin a-rio is a set of music that emerges from three text scores, which intertwine to form a new, living score in constant interaction with people and the environment. Its practice is imbued with a Deep Listening approach, inviting deep listening (dreamlike, bodily, and sensorial). The piece proposes cycles that refer to the Earth’s tide: the continuous erosion of the Earth caused by the gravitational pull of the moon and the sun, the ebb and flow of day and night. In this context, the duality of gender—male, female—is questioned and overflows, opening the way to a fluid exploration of the human: human, human, humane, humono…

SUN.08.JUN.2025 – 11:00AM
HUGO SOLÍS

For this guided meditation session, the artist proposes drawing on techniques of constant rhythmic motifs that numerous cultures and traditions have used to generate rituals and collective trances. Mantras, prayers, rosaries, and numerous sound repetition techniques will be reinterpreted on an electroacoustic piano from a minimalist musical perspective, using delay and reverb techniques that ideally accompany the participants’ meditation.

The performance will be divided into two distinctly contrasting sections that reference the sculptural work in the space, intended to engage in dialogue with Ugo Rondinone’s work the sun and the moon. The first half of the sound experience will refer to slow, calm, and melancholic rituals, while the second will feature luminous and hopeful chants and rituals.

SUN.08.JUN.2025 – 5:00PM
ARCANGELO CONSTANTINI

As part of the Speaker Strings series, which explores sympathetic resonance, a unique string instrument has been reworked. A classical guitar, worn by decades of use, has been transformed into a four-string bass through radical modifications. The original hardware was replaced, and a door hinge was used as an improvised support for the strings. A subwoofer was also integrated into the speaker cabinet, expanding its sonic capabilities and giving it an experimental character.

Through this metamorphosis, the instrument is immersed in an existential flux, establishing dialogues with hypothetical aesthetic processes. Sympathetic resonance, understood as a poetic and aesthetic phenomenon, reveals a profound connection between two vibrant entities. When two systems achieve a harmonious affinity, an invisible flow of energy and meaning emerges. This shared resonance generates a symphony of emotions and understandings, seeking to transcend the limitations of language to create a deeper and more enigmatic communication with the audience.

MEDITATIO SONUS
This is an initiative by Arcangelo Constantini and Marcela Armas, which emerged in Mexico City in 2012. They have held series at Ciudad Universitaria, in collaboration with the MUAC and the Alumnos 47 Foundation, at Casa del Lago, in collaboration with Casa Dharma, at the Los Pinos Cultural Complex, at the Museum of Art and History of Guanajuato, and at Casa Palmira Lázaro Cárdenas, in Cuernavaca.

Each series consists of eight sessions, held over eight consecutive Sundays.

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

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.

Arte Abierto continues with its new public program Derivas de Arte y Arquitectura (Art & Architecture Derives), 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 Derives 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.

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.
