PORTALS OF THE SYMBOLIC

Transversal visit with Demian Mondragón from La Consultoría

In this tour of Ugo Rondinone’s exhibition long last happy, we will explore the profound connections between the artist’s works and the world of symbols, the unconscious, and psychology.

Rondinone’s participatory sculptures and drawings of the sun and moon will act as portals to access the symbolic plane and interpret the works from the perspective of the collective unconscious. In this way, we will analyze our own relationship with the cosmos, the importance of imagination in childhood, and resilience, using examples from art history and psychological approaches to these topics.

CINEMA-FISSURES
Things We Do for Love transversal visit with Mara Fortes.

The purpose of this visit is to investigate the extra-visual dimension of cinema, based on the idea of the “fissure of the image”, inspired by the concept of kintsugi that is addressed in Things We Do for Love.

Through exercises in the exhibition space of direct experience and a brief capsule of historical references, we will explore how this audiovisual installation awakens auditory, proprioceptive (the brain’s ability to recognize the muscles of the body in space), and intuitive intelligence. The visit is an invitation to be undisciplined spectators, to stretch time, fold space, feel the image, and navigate the multiverse of cinema —to grasp what overflows from the screen, sculpts stories and suspends the parameters that define our everyday reality.
