Survived an intense art week in CDMX. Here’s my report for Collezione da Tiffany An extract translated: “An intense art week in Mexico City (Feb. 5-13) has just concluded, and it has been able to demonstrate how the local art scene is increasingly vibrant and growing. It has already been 20 years since the first edition of Zona Maco, the main fair that paralleled the Mexican contemporary art scene, which began to blossom in the late 1990s but has a rich decades-long tradition with artists, galleries, and the very first Expo Arte Guadalajara fair having paved the way. Palpable enthusiasm during the Preview on Wednesday, Feb. 7, with local galleries such as RGR, OMR and Traversia Cuatro virtually sold out on the first day. So many collectors (including Italians) and but also curators and institutions took the pretext of this art week to come and visit the increasingly vibrant local art scene, in what is becoming one of the most interesting artistic, but also business, centers in the Americas. The economy and political situation present relative stability in Mexico today, allowing confidence in purchases with a growing number of collectors, but also many with years of experience. The focus is on some of the names just announced for the upcoming Biennial, as well as other established names from Latin America” More online. https://lnkd.in/ef68cWSy #artweek #artadvisory #artfairs #mexicocity #mexicocityartweek

This is one of those beautiful AI object re-presentation virtual synthesis productions. I would love to see this type of AI synthesis use cut and paste collage processing with students in an early 2nd year architectural studio environment in an educational sensibility. Again being studio focused as a methodology of processing and production rather than a be all and end all limitation. Having used collage and poetics methods in University Architectural Studios to create synthetic perspectives, sections and plans AI now seems to offer up further iterative develop-mentation and drawing in layers that might allow new stories and un-realised poetic dimensions for distorting the spatiotemporal rational world - yey!

All Your Secrets – Gert & Uwe Tobias | Cassina Projects, Milano "In the work of the Tobias twins, the influence of their native land - Transylvania - and Germanic culture emerges. The theme of cultural identity is echoed, interweaving folklore and archetypes with contemporary cultural elements. Not a rustic folklore, but an authentic reinvention of it, which by creating new suggestions, allows the demon of matter to be exorcised by the ancient techniques used. These manage to renew themselves by finding new meanings directly in the organic structuring of the image in the chosen linguistic medium. For the Tobias, this is both a limit and a continuous source of possibilities, because matter retains any imprint, whether physical or imaginative; the power of expression in these works is to be able to emphasise the indelible aspect." https://lnkd.in/dsa9ZWT5

So creative . So beautiful

Of course this art is crazy. What art is not crazy? When it's not crazy it's not art. Jean Dubuffet Obviously by 1945 the world was also crazy and there were many who questioned the processes and genealogies of creators authenticated as artists.  If we listen to Dubuffet, as to anyone else who has arguments to define concepts based on experiences and observations, we arrive at one of the possible questions, we can all be creators of art: Social art, urban art in the street or in galleries?  Where to find it? Although perhaps the question is where we can experience the sensation/reflection/experience that art awakens in us. As a game for the intellect, for our own existence... we keep asking ourselves and questioning the evolution or involution that the manifestations (with the tools incorporated in this era, pose us). #artbrut #landart #urbanart https://lnkd.in/ditTEWiB and if you have time check this (https://lnkd.in/d9rnqXkM)
