For the last Derive of the year and on the occasion of the presentation of the GuggenSITO at Múltiple, Eder Castillo will talk to us about his production and connection processes along with Arturo Ortiz Struck, as well as the strategies applied in this and in each of his works and projects that he has been carrying out to date.

Eder Castillo is an artist who hybridizes the cultural institution and the artistic object to create exceptional spaces, spaces different from those produced by the current city, and also different from those that make up museums and art centers. Through different experiences, he emphasizes performativity and interactivity. His work has focused on the generation of spaces and aesthetic moments that allow the encounter and interaction between non-traditional audiences and art.

We resume Derives of Art and Architecture in 2025, follow our social networks for more information.

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.

Mexico City’s Zona Rosa is, above all, an imaginary.That is, on a diffuse perimeter of Colonia Juárez, a series of emotions, ideas, experiences and anxieties are projected. Perhaps, this cloud of meanings began to take form in the 1920s, but it was in the 1960s when it became self-aware. A group of artists, intellectuals, journalists and more reflected on what they saw, did, prophesied and sentenced there. They even gave it the name: Zona Rosa. And this imaginary managed to expand and transcend the following generations.

The Zona Rosa is a space for recreation, transgressions, cosmopolitan life and nostalgia; it is a territory that feels contradictory since its christening: “neither red nor white, but pink, precisely pink.” In our next Derive we will analyze those 1960s and that endearing space that was both decadent and avant-garde.

MÚLTIPLE

Múltiple is a space for sharing. Here you can talk, contemplate, ask questions, explore or just hang out; come alone or accompanied, with friends or family, with children, young people or adults.

Múltiple is An Arte Abierto program that seeks to generate connections, exchanges and collaborations with projects that explore different possibilities of approaching art from various disciplines.

In October and November, Múltiple will bring together four projects to experiment with digital art processes, dance, public art and theater, using our exhibition hall simultaneously to transform it into an open forum for activities and a space for interaction between audiences, projects and artists.

Our goal is to spontaneously share and connect with art through devices, presentations, workshops and activities that reflect the personality, processes, themes and particular searches of each of our guests:

CUTOUT TRACK 03 – Digital Arts
THEATER FACTO – Theater
TRAZO – Contemporary dance
GUGGENSITO– Public Art and Social Architecture

All Múltiple activities are free and for all audiences.

Tlatelolco is possibly one of the best-known modern architectural projects in Mexico City, not only for its design but for its historical relevance throughout different periods: the pre-Hispanic era, its colonial past and today. It is a site that has gained particular relevance within citizen memory.

This Derive is a review of some artistic projects carried out by the artist Balam Bartolomé in the Tlatelolco area, works that refer equally to public space, as well as its gardens and buildings, from the Mesoamerican era to the modern dystopia. The projects and works make visible the historical layers that is Tlatelolco, and how the ancient island makes the past coexist with the present in its perimeter, by drawing a map and a route for the national future.

SITES (Monterrey, 1994)
SITES seeks to generate ‘electroclimates’ through sound, installation, and performance. Immersed in technological spiritual syncretism, her projects operate as atmospheres inhabiting the hertzian space: an invisible and timeless architecture where electromagnetic waves, human experience, and auras coexist. Through her nomadic and animistic practice, she initiates temporary environments for contemplation. Sites has produced works across Monterrey, N.L., Mexico City, Chiapas, and Los Angeles over the past 10 years. She has showcased her work at venues such as Museo Anahuacalli, Kurimanzutto, Museo MARCO, Mercedes Benz Fashion Week, PEANA Project Room, Torre de los Vientos, Salón Acme No.11, and Museo de la Ciudad in Querétaro, entre otros. She has also participated in poetry readings in Mexico City and Los Angeles. Currently, she is working on two new releases that will be available on streaming platforms, alongside her existing catalog.

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.
