SENSORY ROUTE

Recorrido por las obras de la Colección Fundación Arte Abierto

Sensory Route is a journey so that people of any age, from children to adults, can approach contemporary art from everyday life and the body, through exercises of observation, interaction and attentive exploration. The intention is to learn about some of the formulas of contemporary art from the works of the Arte Abierto Foundation Collection that are located in the outdoor spaces of ARTZ Pedregal.

Using a sensory map as a guide and the senses of our body, we will explore and reflect on the creation mechanisms of some of the artists that are part of our collection.

Join the tour every Saturday in December at 4:00 pm.

REMOTE PULSE, 2019

Installation with heart rate sensor board.

Remote Pulse is an interactive installation consisting of two pulse-sensing stations that are interconnected over the Internet. When a person places their hands on one station automatically the persono in the other station feels their pulse, as the plates vibrate in sync with the heartbeath of the remote person, and viceversa. Two lights indicate the hearthbeat of both persons as well.

This piece was originally presented as part of Lozano-Hemmer’s Border Tuner installation across the US-Mexico border, with one station in Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua, and the other in El Paso, Texas. For the exhibition Latidos, the stations were interconnected between Arte Abierto, in Mexico City and the Museo Amparo of Puebla. Now both stations are located in the architectural complex of Artz Pedregal.

RAFAEL LOZANO-HEMMER

(Mexico, 1967)

Interdisciplinary artist whose work has been focused in developing interactive installations that are at the intersection of architecture and performance. His main interest is to create platforms for public participation, usign technology as a language of our time, and as an inevitable yet questionable vehicle. He was the first artist to officially represent Mexico at the 52nd Venice Biennale. His work has been presented at San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, the Museo Universitario Arte Contemporáneo in Mexico City, and the Museum of Contemporary Art Australia (MCA),among other spaces.

THINGS WE DO FOR LOVE, 2022

Ceramic sculpture

During a trip to Japan, Erick Meyenberg saw and filmed a chrysanthemum on a Tokyo cementery after falling because of a typhoon. The scence reverberated in the artista due to a personal momento he was going through that made everything around him look fragmented. Thus, from the Japanese philosophy and technique of Kintsugi, which consist of repairing broken ceramics, highlighting the joints to underline their value and beauty despite their fractures, he had the ide of making a sculpture of the dismembered petals of that flower –considered the imperial emblem of Japon–. Meyenberg then thought that the sculpture had to rise from the ground just as Aphrodite rose from the waters; its forms recover the strenght and movement ow water, while its color reflects the love and eroticism embodied by Aphrodite. The Kintsugi metaphor invite to reconize the beauty that exits even in the fragments or breaks that are part of life.

This work represents the first time that Meyenberg works with ceramics. It was conceived specifically for his video-installations Things We Do for Love, commissioned by Arte Abierto, and was produced at Cerámica Suro workshop in Guadalajara.

ESE PUNTO EN EL ESPACIO, 2021

Ese punto en el espacio (That Point in Space) (2021) is an optical artifact that shows the capacity of geometry and reflective matter to guide light and build simulated spaces that challenge our gaze. When looking inside the piece, you can observe a game of infinite reflections that, in turn, generate a parallel scenario in relation to our position in real physical space.

Conceived as a light sculpture, the effect it produces is the result of a precise composition in which a series of mirrors are arranged geometrically. The abstraction that is generated represents, for Julia Carrillo, a tribute to The Aleph by Jorge Luis Borges in which a point in space contains the four corners of the universe, that is, the Whole.

The art piece was created and commissioned especially for the Luz Instante exhibition that was presented at Arte Abierto in 2021 and which brought together seven works by Carrillo focused on the exploration of light.
