THE COLLECTION CHRONICLES

POV VISITS OF A MUSEUM THAT ISN’T A MUSEUM

Visit + Workshop

When we think of a place where works of art are exhibited, the first thing that probably comes to mind is a museum. But have you ever thought that you can also find works of art inside a shopping mall?
We invite you to participate in this activity where, after a tour through Arte Abierto Collection works, you can share your POV (point of view) by creating a TikTok video.

To enjoy this activity, we recommend bringing your cell phone with the TikTok app pre-installed.

PUBLIC PROGRAM

>>

The Collection Chronicles is a program that offers different ways to explore Arte Abierto’s permanent collection. Through various activities that invite the public to experiment and play with the works—regardless of their prior knowledge—participants will be able to inhabit spaces for dialogue where contemporary art is experienced in a close and collective way, open to multiple interpretations.
>>
Arte Abierto has a solid collection of works by highly relevant artists in the field of contemporary art on loan. Some of these installations and works were selected or commissioned from the very beginning of ARTZ, which was conceived as a small city where users can enjoy spaces for recreation, leisure, exercise, work, residential life, and art, all in one place. This fosters social cohesion and facilitates encounters between people through its spaces, creating bridges between everyday life, art, and contemporary culture.

The Collection Chronicles are held at Arte Abierto Pedregal and are free-of-charge.

THE COLLECTION CHRONICLES

MAGNETIC PROJECTION

Visit + Workshop

Contemporary art doesn’t follow rules or fixed interests. It isn’t governed by pre-established values; in fact, it unfolds in multiple directions, influenced by the context, experience, and thinking of each artist.

With this idea as a starting point, we invite families to explore some pieces from Arte Abierto Collection. During the visit, we will explore some concepts and processes that shape contemporary practices. At the end, each family will collaboratively create a conceptual portrait, freely combining techniques such as painting, drawing, pastels, collage, writing, or object appropriation.

ARCANA FOOTPRINT

Visit + Workshop

In this visit, we will explore how tarot can be used as a narrative and interpretive tool for art, and how art constructs a personal narrative. We will conclude the tour with an instant print workshop, in which, using simple materials such as disposable plates, vegetables, and fruits, we will print an engraving that tells our life story based on a brief introduction to the 22 Major Arcana of the Tarot. This activity is an opportunity to explore creativity, life narratives, and the connection between art and tarot.

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.

METAL ON METAL ON WIND

PEPE MOGT & TANIA CANDIANI

KIOSCO SONORO ACTIVATION

As part of Arte Abierto’s Public Program and in collaboration with MUAC (Museo Universitario de Arte Contemporáneo), METAL ON METAL ON WIND, will take place, an outdoor sound intervention by Pepe Mogt to activate the sculpture Kiosko sonoro (2018) by Tania Candiani. This art piece is part of the Arte Abierto Collection and is comprised of a series of interconnected trumpets, which refers to the traditional kiosks in public squares. Its shape reflects on the social and cultural dynamics behind these constructions and how we appropriate them in our daily lives.

Tania Candiani (Mexico City, 1974)
She lives and works in Mexico City. One of the central interests of her work is the expanded idea of translation, extended to the experimental field through the use of visual, sound, textual and symbolic languages. Many of her projects consider the universe of sound and the politics of listening as a tool capable of expanding and transforming perceptions, both human and non-human. A fundamental part of her work is related to feminist policies and practices, understanding them as a communal, affective and ritual experience. Its production usually involves interdisciplinary work groups in various fields, consolidating intersections between art, literature, music, architecture, science, and labor, with an emphasis on ancestral knowledge and techniques, technologies, and their history in the production of knowledge. She is a member of the National System of Art Creators of Mexico; she is a recipient of the Guggenheim Fellowship in the Arts, the Smithsonian Institution Research Grant for Artists; she is an artist-in-residence at the Arts at CERN program, in Geneva, Switzerland. In 2015 she represented Mexico at the 56th Venice Biennale. Her work has been exhibited internationally in museums, institutions and independent spaces, and is part of important public and private collections.

TANIA CANDIANI

TANIA CANDIANI (Mexico, 1974)
KIOSKO SONORO, 2018

Steel structure, trumpets, tubes, concrete base.

To create this interactive piece, the artist used as a starting point a traditional kiosk, and the social and cultural role it plays in the public square.

The sound sculpture reflects on the historic burden contained within this type of construction. It does so through its structure, which comprises a reticulated installation of trumpets, connected via rigid hoses to a single transmission point that can be activated by the public. The piece then acquires new attributions by allowing for a direct personal experience in a public environment.

Tania Candiani (Mexico, 1974) is a multidisciplinary artist working in the intersection between art, literature, design, music, architecture, science and technology. Her projects plays and approach to the different symbolic and communication systems used daily, such as the phonetic, graphic, linguistic and technological languages. Thus, her works —performances, installations, objects, sculptures, actions— seeks to reflect on the different ways in which we relate each other as social and cultural beings. Candiani has been fellow of the Sistema Nacional de Creadores de México (National System of Art Creators) since 2012 and represented Mexico at the 56th Venice Biennale. Her work has been presented in museums, public spaces and art institutions from Colombia, Cuba, United States, Italy, Lithuania, Mexico, Poland, United Kingdom and Russia, among others.
