Break the Beat | Mezclas Colectivas by Arte Abierto

BREAK THE BEAT | COLLECTIVE MIXES

LOVE MUSIC AND WANT TO SHARE IT?

Arte Abierto creates an experience so you can mix like a professional DJ in the afternoons of Break The Beat – Collective Mixes.

BREAK THE BEAT – COLLECTIVE MIXES is an experience designed for young people aged 15 and over, in which you will learn the basic principles of mixing and explore music through the culture of DJing. We want to generate a community of young people, who develop their creativity and can share, through music, what they are most passionate about, creating sound atmospheres that expand their environment.

At the end, the participants will be able to mix and experiment with their favorite songs in a LIVE PRESENTATION for their friends or for their musical community from a professional DJ booth in Arte Abierto’s garden, with the mentoring of a highly experienced DJ, who will accompany you in this exciting moment and will guide you step by step in your process towards self-discovery as a DJ.

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.

< 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.
