Project “Rebarding”, Lisbon Architecture Triennale
Fundación Alumnos 47 and Proyecto Sonidero
November 16, 2013
Fundación Alumnos47 and El Proyecto Sonidero present ‘Rebardeando/Rebarding’, a work dedicated to the painting of walls or fences, traditionally used as mass media for dances of sound systems (sonideros) and northern or rock music concerts. An element that was ubiquitous in Mexico City, the walls or fences have been progressively displaced to the margins of the metropolis.
The project consisted in taking the logos of the institutions participating in Close, Closer: The Institute Effect of the Lisbon Architecture Triennale and intervene them, creating designs in synch with this particular popular aesthetic that prevails in those paintings. These logos were then painted in October 2013 on a wall of Ciudad Nezahualcóyotl, a suburban area of Mexico City, with the support of local painters ‘Publicidades Rance’. This whole process was documented by photography and film and will be presented at MUDE, Lisbon.
