ART AND ARCHITECTURE DERIVES

CULTURAL GEOGRAPHIES: THE INVENTION OF MUSEUM CIRCUITS IN MEXICO CITY OF THE 20TH CENTURY.

A conversation with Ana Garduño.

• Live talk with Ana Garduño

• Saturday, March 25, 2023 at 1:00 pm.

• The event will be held at Espacio Arte Abierto, located on the 2nd floor in Artz Pedregal.

Our program Drifts of Art & Architecture at Arte Abierto is restarting. For our 10th talk our guest is the historian and researcher Ana Garduño, who will talk about the various museum projects and “Cities of the Arts” that emerged throughout the 20th Century in Mexico: from utopian proposals to completely feasible, going through the Olinka by Dr. Atl or the City of Museums and Arts by Diego Rivera, to projects such as the National Museum of Anthropology.

Espacio Arte Abierto is located in the center of the garden, entering through the 2nd floor of ARTZ Pedregal (Periférico Sur 3720, Jardines del Pedregal, Álvaro Obregón) in Mexico City.

Arte Abierto’s Art and Architecture Derives is a program of routes proposed by invited curators, architects, artists and urban planners, to explore a series of architectural spaces and significant artistic interventions in public spaces in Mexico City. The purpose of the derives is to generate experiences of spatial rediscovery, which renew our view of the legacy of certain architectural and artistic works, both emblematic and forgotten.

The derives are held the last Saturday of each month of 2022 at 12:00 p.m. Free entry. Limited seating.

Posted at 17:57h in Colección

JOSE DÁVILA

JOSE DÁVILA (Mexico, 1974)
JOINT EFFORT, 2019

Concrete volumes, volcanic rock and ratchet straps

This piece is a sculpture of large dimensions that exemplifies the formal and conceptual interests of the artist Jose Dávila, such as the relationship with resistance, tension and the geometric order of the materials that he uses. The volcanic rock and concrete here point out a contrast between organic and industrial materials, highlighting their strengths and capacities through a composition in which both elements support their respective weights, while the straps strengthen the dynamic exerted between the concrete and the rock. As suggested by its title, this piece is literally a joint effort to keep the balance, strength and harmony of its components.

Jose Dávila (Guadalajara, 1974) His work addresses the existent relationships between contrasting and contradictory elements. Most of his work focuses on exploring the possibilities, capacities and properties of sculpture, through a meticulous selection of the materials and the forms with which his pieces are produced. Commonly guided by intuition, in his sculptural structures tension and calm, geometric order and random chaos, and fragility and resistance coexist while connecting the form with the content.

Things We Do for Love transversal visit with Mara Fortes

DESCRIPTION

As part of our activities linked to the exhibition Things We Do for Love we have a special visit with Mara Fortes.

Thursday October 27, 2022
Time: 5:30 p.m. – 7:00 p.m.
Aimed at all public
Limited admission
This visit/workshop is free

CINEMA-FISSURES
Things We Do for Love transversal visit with Mara Fortes.

Through exercises in the exhibition space of direct experience and a brief capsule of historical references, we will explore how this audiovisual installation awakens auditory, proprioceptive (the brain’s ability to recognize the muscles of the body in space), and intuitive intelligence. The visit is an invitation to be undisciplined spectators, to stretch time, fold space, feel the image, and navigate the multiverse of cinema —to grasp what overflows from the screen, sculpts stories and suspends the parameters that define our everyday reality.

Mara Fortes
Researcher and curator of cinema and audiovisual media. Her research focuses on media archaeology, installation art, avant-garde film history, experimental and expanded film, sound art, and queer film. She has curated for the Reina Sofía Museum, London MexFest, La otra bienal, REDCAT, and the Centro de Cultura Digital. Since 2003 she has worked in film distribution and exhibition, collaborating with NGOs such as Women Make Movies, and programming for various festivals, including the Morelia International Film Festival, the Ambulante Festival, and CUÓRUM. She is currently a Senior Curator at the Festival de Telluride. Her publications include the books Chris Marker Inmemoria and El cine como arte subversivo de Amos Vogel (edited with Lorena Gómez Mostajo), and Historias de la Noche (with Fabiola Torres-Alzaga).

MEMORY BEAT

CERAMIC WRITING WORKSHOP

WITH SANDRA SÁNCHEZ

DESCRIPTION

Arte Abierto begins the Public Program activities linked to the exhibition Things We Do for Love with a ceramic writing workshop taught by Sandra Sánchez.

Saturday October 15, 2022.
Time: 12:00 p.m. – 3:00 p.m.
Aimed at all public: children, youth and adults.
Limited admission | Prior registration at actividades@arteabierto.org
This workshop is free.

MEMORY BEAT

This workshop is an invitation to explore personal memory through narrative, visual and tactile writing. We will investigate our own history and translate specific experiences into forms, sensations, intensities and flows.

Ceramics will allow us to capture not only stories and figures, but also forces, footprints and body movements. In addition to making an inquiry about intimacy and writing. The result will be a piece of pottery that each participant can take home, like a talisman.

No prior knowledge is required.

IMPORTANT: As we will be working on low-temperature ceramics, after the workshop, we will keep your piece for burning. A week later we will have the piece already fired and enameled available for you to pick up at Arte Abierto.

Sandra Sánchez Writes in different media, including ceramics. Her current research focuses on modes of collaborative writing and proposals for production and reception beyond the aesthetic relationship “artist-work-spectator”. In 2015 she founded Zona de Desgaste, a space dedicated to mediation, writing and critical reflection on contemporary art and art philosophy. She currently edits OndaMx magazine, leads Aeromoto Library and teaches at Universidad del Claustro de Sor Juana.
