Arte Abierto starts its educational mediation and communication program.

Due to its pedagogical and participatory lines of work, the Public Program is one of the most important conceptual components of our foundation.

BERKE GOLD

Berke Gold (CDMX) is a designer and artist based in Monterrey.

For Berke, contemporary art is about learning, a piece by a contemporary artist ends up being the result of a learning process and applying that to design. During his creative processes Berke alternates from the vision of designer to that of artist.

His recent practice focuses on grime, craftsmanship, and false eyelashes. Through transdisciplinary practices, Berke’s work seeks to cross techniques and materials ‘as if they were stray dogs’.

In recent years he has conducted in-depth research on the Taxco School and the influence of William Spratling on the aesthetics of Mexican design in the 20th century as well as its influence in the 21st.

Since 2017 he has served as designer of the Alma brand. At the same time, he has designed packaging for brands such as Tamoa, Umani and Sexto Colectivo, always seeking the intersection between sustainability, fashion and Mexican identity. He currently teaches the Social Innovation course at the Central University and the Creation of Accessories at the CEDIM.

DIEGO PÉREZ

Diego Pérez García (CDMX, 1975) is a multidisciplinary visual artist who began his career in photography, although stone sculptures have been the center of his practice in recent years and now, sand, which makes us reflect that we are a small moment on the timeline. This practice results from a combination of gardening, models and stone carving of different colors, textures and materials.

For Diego to imagine and daydream is vital, since he considers both a trigger for the creative act. He constantly searches for that limit that divides art from other types of objects, convinced that all material is an endless source of forms whose relationships do not end in the work, but extend to the environment and the viewer.

His individual exhibitions include Pasatiempo, in collaboration with Iván Krassoievitch, Galería Machete (2015); Nuestra casa sería un campamento, Museo Experimental El Eco (2013); Lo lejano hace señas a lo lejano, Sala de Proyectos Gamboa del Museo de Arte Moderno, Ciudad de México (2010); Sombra de sol, Künstlerresidenz Blumen, Leipzig, Alemania (2008); Topografía Próxima, Centro Fotográfico Manuel Álvarez Bravo, Oaxaca (2006) y Sólo para el viento existen las hojas de los árboles, Celda Contemporánea (2006). His work has been shown in various group exhibitions at the Juan José Arreola Lake House, Luis Adelantado Gallery, kurimanzutto, Jumex Collection, Carrillo Gil Art Museum and Contemporary Art University Museum. He has participated in artistic residencies in Germany, Canada and the United States. He was a beneficiary of the Bancomer-MACG Arte Actual Program (2008-2009) and the Young Creators program of the National Fund for Culture and the Arts (2001-2002 and 2008-2009).

Diego Pérez lives and works in Mexico City.

ERIK TLASECA

Erik Bernardo Tlaseca Gaona (CDMX, 1989) is an interdisciplinary visual artist who studied Plastic and Visual Arts at the ENPEG “La Esmeralda” and the National University of Bogotá, Colombia.

In 2017 he was part of the Photographic Production Seminar of the Image Center. In 2014-2015 and 2018-2019 he was awarded the FONCA Young Creators scholarship and between 2019 and 2020 he was part of the BBVA – MACG program. He completed artistic residency programs at Motel Spatie, the Netherlands, at the WRO Art Center, Poland, and at the KUNCI Cultural Studies Center, Indonesia, as well as participated in various group exhibitions, including the Jakarta Biennale in Indonesia.

He was a founding member of Cooperativa Cráter Invertido, Zúngale and Taller de Producción Editorial.

His work addresses themes that arise from unattainable memories and images that have a connection on territorial transformations and changes in identity. The images and the archive are essential in his work, since they unite memory with his identity.

Research, field work and a symbiosis carried out with palm weavers from the Mixe area in San Pedro Jocotipac are evident in the video ‘Some day the night will come’.
