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.

ERICK MEYENBERG

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.

WINTER MICROLANDSCAPES

OPERA FOR THE GARDEN

In collaboration with Vanessa Freitag and students from the Escuela Superior de Música and the Academia de la Danza Mexicana

The winter solstice is the astronomical event that has made us aware of life cycles and renewal. We have celebrated and represented it with rituals, parties, traditions, deities, pyramids, mythologies and calendars. Despite the arrival of the cold and the end of the growing season, what is actually celebrated at this time is the next return of the sun and its reappearance in the sky.

To welcome winter, students from the Escuela Superior de Música and the Academia de la Danza Mexicana will offer an opera concert* for the plants of the Jardín Arte Abierto, accompanying them at the change of season and celebrating their new cycle , in a kind of celebration and momentary fiction.

As part of the concert, the artist Vanessa Freitag (Brazil, 1982) made a series of textile sculptures to cover the singers and turn them into abstract micro-landscapes and new garden-organisms. With this, they are transformed into artificial flowers that sprout momentarily with the sole purpose of comforting nature.

* The musical repertoire is a compilation of opera pieces related to winter, the changes of season and the cyclical celebrations of each end of the year, change or transformation.

IN THOSE WATERS, IN ALL WATERS

CELLO IMPROVISATION WITH NATALIA PÉREZ TURNER

In those waters, in all waters is an improvisation and live interpretation that cellist Natalia Pérez Turner will perform based on Things We Do for Love. This sound action is a reinterpretation of the work and an opportunity to dialogue again with the already finished piece (after almost a year of having participated in the musical composition for the video installation), in order to revisit it from the cello and be able to react immediately. not only to the images, but to the sensations and atmospheres that they generate together in space.

It is a search to transform the work again, make music part of its plastic content and invite the public to perceive the sound of the cello in an almost visible way, like the images themselves.

>>

For the sound design of Things We Do for Love, Erick Meyenberg decided not to accompany the images with its real sound, but to experiment with the emotional and suggestive abstraction of electronic music, conducted by Roderic, in dialogue with Natalia’s cello performance. Pérez Turner, who contributed a great affective depth to the work and the space.

In this video installation, music is the emotional support that suggests multiple simultaneous readings and the sensation of being in an occupied space from floor to ceiling.

BETWEEN INTUITIONS AND ACTIONS: HOW WAS THE EXHIBITION THINGS WE DO FOR LOVE CREATED?

A conversation with Erick Meyenberg and Roberto Velázquez about the production processes and the implications of making an audiovisual and ceramic exhibition such as Things We Do for Love possible.

During the production process of  Things We Do for Love, there were a series of encounters and disagreements with different materials and supports that, despite the technical distances, made the project an assembled whole. Thus, this exhibition is an example of how the complexities of artistic practice and its transformations as a result of the multiple perspectives and actions that intervene in its production can be addressed.

This conversation with Erick Meyenberg and Roberto Velázquez, Director of Planning and Operations at Arte Abierto, will be a journey through the various collaborations that shaped the project, recounting the intuitions, actions, voices and finally, the matters that were involved. in its elaboration, such as ceramics, video, sound or museography itself.

Some of the questions that will guide the discussion are: How were the video and ceramic pieces in the exhibition created? What does it mean to mount an exhibition of these dimensions? What kind of knowledge, knowledge and trades are involved in the artistic creation and exhibitions?

For Arte Abierto it is essential to expose the collaborative nature of art through exhibitions that, like this one, arise from a process and an exchange of ideas, thoughts and feelings.

THINGS WE DO FOR LOVE

06.24.2022 – 02.19.2023

Things We Do for Love is a project commissioned by Arte Abierto to visual artist Erick Meyenberg (CDMX, 1980). It is a video-installation and a large-format sculpture that, both together, exposes the poetics of art and its effect in our perception of reality.

The exhibition exemplifies artistic practice complexities and its transformations as resulted from the multiple perspectives and actions intervening in its production. For Arte Abierto it is essential to expose the collaborative nature of art through exhibitions that, such this one, turn out from a process and an exchange of ideas, thoughts and feelings.

Inviting Erick Meyenberg to intervene in our space came up from the interest in bringing us closer to common ideas and concepts, transformed into an intimate reflection through art. Thus, what began as a personal path became a project to recognize how we define our gaze and the meanings that we produced from it.

In those waters, in all the waters, [the human being] hope[s] to see their real image reflection. An image that has been mutilated thousands of years ago. In that situation, lost in thought by the shore, we can find them anywhere. Yearning for what? What they used to be.

–Reinaldo Arenas, The Doorman (1989)

While in an artistic residency in Japan* I was going through a personal situation that made everything seem fragmented. As in any process, the way was guided by intuition and chance. Sometimes you must travel faraway to find your own reflection in other waters. Being unaware then, this journey of reencounter with myself arrived. I thought: How to move in such a foreign world? How to heal and paste the remaining pieces after a fracture?

Camera in hand, I started touring Tokyo, Kyoto, Kanazawa, Hiroshima and Naoshima by land and sea, capturing hundreds of images and life fragments that reminded me of the existence of beauty in everyday life. While recording everything that captured my attention, a phrase always came to my mind giving new meaning to what I was looking at: “Things we do for love”.

Back in Mexico, other lands and other seas showed up. With those waters came a new promise of life. Not knowing why, it seemed that my visual archive of two countries and cultures—so different from each other—was trying to say something. I wanted to find a way to put together these life fragments to transform them into a whole that, in turn, wouldn’t hide the fractures of its history. I found in Kintsugi (a Japanese philosophy that repairs broken objects and beautifies them by gluing the fragments with gold dust) the perfect metaphor to understand video editing as that affective binder capable of intertwining images apparently unconnected. Something that I could only have done with the help of my great friend, editor and filmmaker Martha Uc.

In Things We Do for Love, what once were wounds now are lines of light that accentuate the complex diversity of lived moments in the same story. I decided not to use the images’ real sound, but to experiment with the emotional and suggestive abstraction of electronic music. That’s where my friend and musician Roderic appeared—to me, the power of his music was the perfect light that recovered what had been lived and also a powerful emotional support to merge the collection of filmed moments. The cello—in the musical composition—emerged also because of instinct: Natalia Pérez-Turner’s performance gave the work a great affective-depth.

Later, after looking at a chrysanthemum that I filmed on a Tokyo cemetery ground after falling due to a typhoon, the idea of making a sculpture that would depict the water and the sea force and movement—video’s two recurring elements—came up. A new phrase came to my mind: “the sculpture had to rise from the ground, just as Aphrodite rose from the waters”. Coincidentally, the colors involved in the goddess of love and eroticism mythological birth are tied with Japan’s national colors. Along this path, the sculptor Óscar Garduño and the ceramist Carmen de la Parra helped me to create the sculptural work at Cerámica Suro workshop in Guadalajara.

At the end of this journey, Cuban writer Reinaldo Arenas appeared. Literature always comes just like that: untimely, unexpected, forceful, needed… A new intuition gave life to his text in Louise Phelan and Francisco López-Guerra voices, to whom I dedicate this work.

Just as the space forms a whole with the chrysanthemum petals on the gallery’s floor, the video editing made possible putting together the fragmentary images of my experience, turning out to be a surprising and unexpected ode to life which taught me that, beyond personal experiences, the relentless force reigns tirelessly.

His work is the result of an extensive investigation on topics such as literature, history, social sciences and natural sciences. To Meyenberg, art is a tool that helps to unearth that host of historical layers that has been left forgotten, making all the elements come into play to reach an “aesthetic whole”. He also considers video editing as a key process in his work. It is from there where he explores the aesthetic potential of images, where he plays with the possibilities they offer, their relationships, and through precise observations, he discovers new meanings, and new ideas.

THINGS WE DO FOR LOVE

ARTE ABIERTO presents Things We Do for Love by Erick Meyenberg, a show specially commissioned for Espacio Arte Abierto.

• The exhibition is made up of a multi-channel audiovisual project with five screens and ten-channel surround sound, and a sculpture that represents his first ceramic work for the artist.

• The project results in an ode to life that emerged from an introspective journey in which the artist manages to document the beauty of everyday life.

Things We Do for Love will be open to the public beginning Friday, June 24, 2022.

Arte Abierto presents its fourth exhibition with a multichannel video installation with five screens and a large-format ceramic sculpture, specially commissioned from the artist Erick Meyenberg (Mexico City, 1980) for Espacio Arte Abierto.

Things We Do for Love results in an ode to life in which different fragments of what makes up and gives context to existence are interconnected: the universe, space, time, force and affections seen from nature, cities, people… The idea for the video installation arose after Meyenberg returned from an artist residency in Japan* during which he began to understand his gaze through the lens of his camera as the only tool available to heal a personal story: “When everything has been broken, how to move in a world that is so foreign? How to rebuild it? How to glue the pieces that have remained? Thus, what began as a journey to a geography and culture totally alien to his own, became an introspection to find the beauty of life.

In his month-long stay in Tokyo, Kyoto, Kanazawa, Hiroshima, and Naoshima, Meyenberg captured moments of life seemingly unrelated to each other. In the process, while looking through what the camera framed him, he says that a phrase resonated in his mind “Things we do for love”. Back in Mexico, the visual fragments from Japan were joined by others taken in Los Cabos, Valle de Bravo, Acapulco and Ixtapa, as well as the sequence of some cicadas in their process of metamorphosis, taken from the Internet, which completed the visual archive that now compose the sample video.

For Meyenberg, the great accumulation of images that documented hundreds of moments, situations or places, represented a broken and disjointed world. Thus, uniting them through editing meant transforming the vision of the torn into a promise of life. Based on Kintsugi, a Japanese philosophy that repairs broken objects and sticks their fragments with gold dust, the artist found the perfect metaphor to convene his image archive and form the video installation created by the editor and filmmaker Martha Uc.

The music for the video had to contain the affective force of what was experienced and provide an emotional and abstract support where the collection of filmed moments could be interwoven. Thus, by intuition, the artist decided not to accompany the images with his real sound, but to experiment with the emotional and suggestive abstraction that electronic music allows, in collaboration with the musician Roderic.

For its part, the large-format ceramic sculpture presents a dismembered flower. Due to the dimensions of the work as a whole and the delicacy with which ceramics* must be modelled, glazed and baked so as not to compromise the material, it was produced in parts until it formed a sculptural object whose forms refer to a series of elements to which that Meyenberg came from an imaginative insight while shooting in both Japan and Mexico. After filming a chrysanthemum on the ground of a cemetery in Tokyo, after a typhoon, the idea arose of a sculpture that would recover the force and movement of the water and the sea that appear in much of the video, and whose colors would reflect the love and eroticism: “the sculpture had to emerge from the ground, just as Aphrodite emerged from the waters”, the artist mentions. Both the petals and the space between them, which becomes the Kintsugi or gold dust that holds them together, are part of the sculptural intervention.

Beyond a specific and determined interpretation, Things We Do for Love proposes an introspective and emotional reflection on the transition that occurs between mourning and hope as experiences that are the product of love.

The video of the exhibition was made in collaboration with the video editor Martha Uc, Roderic in musical composition and sound design, Santiago Rodríguez Rebolledo in sound supervision, cellist Natalia Pérez-Turner and guest performers: Louise Phelan and Francisco López -War.

*Casa NaNo artist residency in Tokyo, Japan, sponsored by Fundación Casa Wabi.
* The sculpture was made in the Cerámica Suro workshop in Guadalajara, Mexico.
