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.

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.

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.

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.

MEDITATIO SONUS

Special cycle of sound-guided meditations

Arte Abierto presents a special cycle of Meditatio Sonus. This sound art series proposes sound-guided meditations and fosters mindfulness through the practice of deep listening. In this edition, the series will run over two days, with two different meditations each day: one in the morning and one in the afternoon.

The meditations will take place in a gallery between Ugo Rondinone’s sculptures The Sun (2022) and The Moon (2022), creating an immersive experience that connects visual and sound art.

Commissioned sound artists will conduct research on the relationship between mind, sound, and technology. The four meditation sessions will be guided live through sound pieces created specifically for this series.

Meditatio Sonus is a space for researching the phenomenon of sound from the perspective of art, linking the practice of listening and meditation.

MEDITATIO SONUS – PROGRAM

SAT.JUN.07.2025 – 11:00 AM
SARMEN ALMOND

Through this sound meditation, entitled Inner Sea, we will seek to restore our full breathing, deep listening, and harmony within the physical and mental body. We will begin with exercises for full breathing and relaxation, to prepare us for meditation. Likewise, we will recognize our posture and consciously perceive our body, locating tension and releasing thoughts. Sound will connect us with our inner universe, with breathing emanating frequencies, calm whispers, and colors that trigger calm, stillness, and creativity.

SAT.JUN.07.2025 – 5:00PM
YAIR LÓPEZ

Bin bin a-rio is a set of music that emerges from three text scores, which intertwine to form a new, living score in constant interaction with people and the environment. Its practice is imbued with a Deep Listening approach, inviting deep listening (dreamlike, bodily, and sensorial). The piece proposes cycles that refer to the Earth’s tide: the continuous erosion of the Earth caused by the gravitational pull of the moon and the sun, the ebb and flow of day and night. In this context, the duality of gender—male, female—is questioned and overflows, opening the way to a fluid exploration of the human: human, human, humane, humono…

SUN.08.JUN.2025 – 11:00AM
HUGO SOLÍS

For this guided meditation session, the artist proposes drawing on techniques of constant rhythmic motifs that numerous cultures and traditions have used to generate rituals and collective trances. Mantras, prayers, rosaries, and numerous sound repetition techniques will be reinterpreted on an electroacoustic piano from a minimalist musical perspective, using delay and reverb techniques that ideally accompany the participants’ meditation.

The performance will be divided into two distinctly contrasting sections that reference the sculptural work in the space, intended to engage in dialogue with Ugo Rondinone’s work the sun and the moon. The first half of the sound experience will refer to slow, calm, and melancholic rituals, while the second will feature luminous and hopeful chants and rituals.

SUN.08.JUN.2025 – 5:00PM
ARCANGELO CONSTANTINI

As part of the Speaker Strings series, which explores sympathetic resonance, a unique string instrument has been reworked. A classical guitar, worn by decades of use, has been transformed into a four-string bass through radical modifications. The original hardware was replaced, and a door hinge was used as an improvised support for the strings. A subwoofer was also integrated into the speaker cabinet, expanding its sonic capabilities and giving it an experimental character.

Through this metamorphosis, the instrument is immersed in an existential flux, establishing dialogues with hypothetical aesthetic processes. Sympathetic resonance, understood as a poetic and aesthetic phenomenon, reveals a profound connection between two vibrant entities. When two systems achieve a harmonious affinity, an invisible flow of energy and meaning emerges. This shared resonance generates a symphony of emotions and understandings, seeking to transcend the limitations of language to create a deeper and more enigmatic communication with the audience.

MEDITATIO SONUS
This is an initiative by Arcangelo Constantini and Marcela Armas, which emerged in Mexico City in 2012. They have held series at Ciudad Universitaria, in collaboration with the MUAC and the Alumnos 47 Foundation, at Casa del Lago, in collaboration with Casa Dharma, at the Los Pinos Cultural Complex, at the Museum of Art and History of Guanajuato, and at Casa Palmira Lázaro Cárdenas, in Cuernavaca.

Each series consists of eight sessions, held over eight consecutive Sundays.

WAYS TO BE AND DO

Sky Observation with Isidro Ramírez Ballinas

Through this guided visit of Ugo Rondinone’s exhibition long last happy, we will explore different ways of interpreting and interpreting the artist’s exploration of human emotions and spirituality, taking our experiences and life stories as a starting point.

Taking as reference the Matching Melania project by Melania Chavarría, we will reflect on the use of digital platforms as contemporary tools to contemplate the celestial world that Rondinone presents to us. This exercise seeks to encourage the creation of a personal creative discourse, which allows us to establish a meaningful dialogue with the exhibition.

MELANIA CHAVARRÍA NUÑO (Mexico City) Textile and fashion designer, graduated from CENTRO (Mexico) and the Royal Academy of Fine Arts of Belgium. She has worked in various areas of the fashion industry, encompassing projects in design, styling, teaching, journalism, and creative direction both in Mexico and abroad.

From her constant quest to create her own creative discourse, Matching Melania was born, a social media project that explores the possibility of fashion deepening its design discourse by coexisting and exchanging concepts, aesthetics, and visual elements with other creative industries such as art, interior design, and architecture.

Leaving aside the immediacy and volatility with which trends are generated, this project explores fashion from a different perspective, where the human body can be the territory for exploration, questioning, and communication of ideas, making use of the different elements that make up the practice of fashion design, such as textile printing or alteration, garment customization, or styling

AN AFTERNOON UNDER THE SUN AND THE MOON

Sky Observation with Isidro Ramírez Ballinas

Join us for a unique astronomical experience where you can observe two of the most fascinating celestial bodies up close: the Sun and the Moon.

With the help of a telescope equipped with a solar filter, we will safely observe sunspots, the coldest regions on the Sun’s surface, and solar granulation, phenomena that reveal activity in its atmosphere.

Afterward, we will turn our attention to the Moon, whose relief—craters, mountains, and seas—can be appreciated in great detail thanks to solar illumination. The contrast between light and shadow will allow lunar formations to be clearly distinguished, making this observation an unforgettable visual experience.

An activity to be amazed, learn and reconnect with the sky.

SEARCH AMONG CELESTIAL BODIES

Children’s Day activity at Ugo Rondinone’s long last happy exhibition

Arte Abierto invites children and their families to a fun artistic experience to celebrate Children’s Day.

Search Among Celestial Bodies will take place within the long last happy exhibition by Swiss artist Ugo Rondinone. In this artistic adventure, little explorers, accompanied by their families, will be able to explore the exhibition in search of two figures: a sun and a moon represented as a phoenix, and a koi fish. These figures are hidden among hundreds of drawings of suns and moons that constitute the works “my age your age and the age of the sun” and “my age your age and the age of the sun”.

The project seeks to foster imagination, curiosity, and a sense of exploration in an artistic and collaborative environment that invites reflection on the passage of time and the connection between generations.

Valentina Guerrero (Chile, 1994) Holds a master’s degree in Visual Arts from UNAM and is part of SOMA’s (Mexico City) educational program. Through her artistic research, Valentina explores issues related to the Capitalocene, hegemonic conceptions of nature, and the sociocultural meanings we assign to certain elements and bodies, such as the landscape. Her current work focuses on video, experimental writing, and the creation of glass pieces, which are activated through group cloud-gazing exercises. These optical and textual objects seek to reflect on how the sky and clouds can be perceived as monstrous traces of climate colonialism, linking empirical experiences with far-reaching historical events.

Her work has been exhibited nationally and internationally at the Anahuacalli Museum (MX), the Museum of Visual Arts (CL), the Fortnight Institute (USA), Espacio Belgrado (ARG), Roam Projects (DE), the Carrillo Gil Art Museum (MX), the Telearte Institute (CL), and the Artespacio Gallery (CL), among others.
