Contextual Art Practices & Curatorship II – Espacios Revelados, Guadalajara Case
Speakers: Aristeo Mora and Pilar Mackenna and Italo Gallardo (Cia Laura Palmer)
Moderator: Ariadna Rodriguez
Espacios Revelados program revitalizes and reimagines abandoned buildings and public spaces in South American cities through artistic interventions, providing new perspectives on urban neighbourhoods in the age of globalization. In Guadalajara, Mexico, the project ran from Aug 2019 to Mar 2020 and brought together creators, academics, and organizations interested in the city’s modern architecture. Aristeo and Cia La Palmer joined us to share their experiences and lessons learned from the project.
In April 2023, PLANT launched its DREAM phase with online conversations on Contextual Art Practices and Curatorship. These conversations are looking forward to reflecting on how art production can be more socially and environmentally responsible while revealing Contextual Art Practices as approaches that are simultaneously rooted in territory and that can be replicated anywhere. By bringing together artists and curators who will share their practical experiences, we hope to broaden and enrich this dialogue, activating a wider national and international engagement and drawing new synergies for potential collaborations.
