This exhibition brings together artists, collectives, investigators, and activists across multiple disciplines who challenge the division between nature and the human, from its political constitution. Through poetic and meditative, yet also speculative and fantastic encounters, the exhibited pieces work within the grief of the planet’s destruction to trace the distance between the natural world as an object of use and exploitation and its reconfiguration at the most profound level of ontology, granting nature sentience, will, and even spirit.
Curatorship: Alejandra Labastida Escalante and Lucía Sanromán Aranda
This exhibition, part of The Sedimentary Effect, seeks to contextualize the Mexicali Experimental Project, a self-built social housing complex developed in Mexico in 1975-76 under the guidance of architect Christopher Alexander. Through new commissions with artists and architects, original archives, and photographs, the exhibition presents the early explorations of social and radical architecture that coincided with Alexander's theories and thinking.
Currently at view at Centro Cultural Tijuana.
