ART & ARCHITECTURE DERIVES

QUANTUM PRELUDE. SOUND ACTIVATION BY TANIA CANDIANI.

A conversation with Tania Candiani.

For our 9th Art an Architecture Derive our special guest speaker is Tania Candiani.

In this derive, the artist Tania Candiani will talk about her work Quantum Prelude, a two-channel audiovisual installation with octophonic sound and original music by Rogelio Sosa, in which different paradigms and readings on the perception and understanding of the emergence of life are intertwined and the world, ranging from ancestral indigenous knowledge and worldview to the implications of quantum physics.

The project, which was born after Candiani’s residence at CERN (The European Organization for Nuclear Research) takes shape at UNAM’s Sculptural Space, in the circular megalithic monument, circumscribed by 64 triangular prisms; 64 musicians were summoned, thus replicating the arithmetic, geometric and harmonic qualities constitutive of the sonority of music, the laws of physics, the organizing principle of nature and the expansiveness of the cosmos.

Arte Abierto continues with its new public program “Derivas de arte y arquitectura”, which seeks to renew our gaze on the architectural legacy of Mexico City. From a series of talks focused on rescuing the parallel stories of emblematic architectural projects and public spaces that have witnessed the variable intersection between art and architecture. In this first stage, the program deals mainly with modern architecture, based on a series of talks given by invited curators, architects, artists and urban planners.

With this program, ways of returning to architecture part of its public, experiential, collective character and close to those of us who inhabit the city are tested, recognizing in it its condition as a living archive. From these talks, circumstances, contexts and anecdotes are revealed that have been part of his sensitive memory and that complement his material memory, a relationship that often escapes documentary narratives and academic accounts.

The objective of the drifts is to generate experiences of spatial rediscovery, which allow us to renew our gaze on the legacy of certain emblematic architectural and artistic works, as well as those that have been forgotten.

The derives will be carried out free of charge on the last Saturday of each month, at 1:00 p.m. with a limited capacity.

DERIVES OF ART AND ARCHITECTURE

Plastic integration of the buildings of the central campus at CU: its murals

Live talk with Gustavo Lipkau and Xavier Hierro about the plastic integration of the buildings of the central campus at CU: its murals.

At < Arte Abierto > we continue with our program Derives of Art and Architecture, and as special guests we have architects Gustavo Lipkau and Xavier Hierro.

The Central Campus at UNAM is an architectural complex in which engineers and artists jointly participated with the intention of merging disciplines such as architecture, painting and sculpture, under what became known as Plastic Integration.

In this talk, Gustavo Lipkau and Xavier Hierro will address the processes and searches of this movement and how it is reflected in eight fundamental buildings and murals on the university campus. It will be a conversation that, beyond theory, the architects will share events and anecdotes around the construction of this key space for Mexico City.
