A trip to accompany Panósmico on one of their explorations of the Gran Canal of Desagüe in Mexico City. During the walk, the guides collected information tangible and intangible, from samples of soil/land and water to photographs of landscape comparison. The participants made a log about the current and historic infrastructure of the channel.

A conversation between Tania Candiani, Adriana Salazar, and Ruth Estévez about their artistic and interdisciplinary projects and research around aquatic ecosystems. The three invitees will speak on projects where the conjunction of art and ecology open new forms of investigation, exchange, and production.

Iñigo Malvido, collaborator of Circuito’s Hydrographic Auscultation (CAH) project of the collective Panósmico, carries out a lecture on the novel, AY AGÜITA, which combines subjective thoughts, group blogs, and diverse landscapes in a personal and free narrative.

“A House is Not Just a House” revisits the work of Tatiana Bilbao concerned with the subject matter of housing. Her work constructs arguments on the production of domestic spaces, in the manner of both expansive and minimal forms, inseparable from the context where they are located and rooted in the fundamental principles of living. The book includes reflections from colleagues and academics such as Amale Andraos, Gabriela Etchegaray, Hilary Sample, and Ivonne Santoyo-Orozco.

The presentation of this book at LIGA unites the speakers in a debate that serves to understand the background and work of Tatiana Bilbao as well as deepen the conversation about social housing. One such relevant project is that of the recent exposition inaugurated at LIGA titled “Trayectorias de un panel” (Trajectories of a Panel), on the topic of the geopolitical history of housing in Chile.

A House is Not Just a House is part of the series Transcripts on Housing, of the series GSAPP Transcripts, in collaboration with the M.Arch Housing Studios at Columbia University’s GSAPP.

ABOUT THE RAMBLE INTERLUDES. The Ramble Interludes cycle proposes a series of walks; each one will depart from a space that have a special connection with art and the city and will focus on a specific urban context, a certain neighborhood.

Representatives of ten different spaces will guide subjective visits to the urban surroundings the building belongs to; they will point out spontaneous situations that have sparked their interest or anonymous architectural landmarks.

This series of encounters thus sets out to investigate the relation between the architecture of the city and its users through case studies where different communities and collectives are connected with their districts thanks to cultural programmes.

ABOUT STUDIO INTERLUDES. How does architectural space influence artistic production—and vice-versa? This is the question to be examined by means of a series of visits to the homes and studios of leading Mexican artists. The investigation will address the connections between a spatial and sensorial context—visual, auditory, material—and the work that is conceived or created within it. The discussion will successively advance more deeply, over several months, into the creative atmosphere in which a number of a key artists produce their work. Each event literally evolves in situ, with a specific character arising from the personality of the space visited, and of the person who inhabits it.

In this way, this series establishes a conceptual link between the traditional journeys made by modern architects to visit emblematic works from antiquity, and the contemporary practice of studio visits.

ABOUT UNDISCIPLINED INTERLUDES: This cycle explores the relationships that spawn in the intersection of disciplines and collaborative work. Through the work of invited authors in Theater, Cinema, Literature and Visual Arts, a series of events around space appropriation are proposed. The encounters on this cycle are interventions in themselves which allow the artists to test and expand their practice from analytic, thoughtful and creative methods similar to the processes of architectural projection.
