Human Landscapes Museography

-









I am posting here the exhibition space, because I liked very much the way the paintings were arranged. I exhibited 30 paintings... but the truth is that I had chosen 37 paintings for this exhibition, but when I painted I didn't realized the way all those paintings will look together. When I was at the gallery the museography expert showed me how bad some paintings looked together and we decided then to take off 7 paintings.

Less is more, isn't it?

Odette, lo cierto es que se ven preciosas las pinturas en esas salas. Ya me gustaría poder verlas al natural y además con las salas vacías como las muestras en estas últimas fotos.

Soy socia-amiga del Museo Guggenheim y me encanta visitarlo cuando se abre solo para los socios, sin público y a poder ser cuando ya ha anochecido porque el contraste entre el interior del Museo y el exterior visto a través de las cristaleras genera un espacio mágico.

Pizarr,

Qué bueno que coincides conmigo :)

Eso de tener el Guggenheim para ti solita ha de ser una de las mejores experiencias que cualquier ser humano pueda tener!

Yo estuve en Bilbao de niña cuando aún no existía el Guggenheim... y es increíble como una obra de arte de la arquitectura puede cambiar la imagen y me inagino que también toda la vida de una ciudad.

Ahora tu ciudad es un destino deseado de muchos, no?

Pues sí, poder ver las pinturas o las fotos o cualquier pieza en solitario es lo que deseamos todos. Me gusta por ejemplo que en la Fundación March, de Madrid, si alguien levanta la voz, le susurran silencio, ya es algo! Pero se ve muy bonito ese espacio con tus cuadros, tienes razón en estar contenta.

Querida Odette,

Vuelvo a ver tus cuadros y me emociono por haber sido parte de este evento. Te felicito y te auguro el mayor de los éxitos en el viejo continente. Serás grande y yo tendré el placer y el orgullo, como los tengo ahora, de decir que te conozco y que nos une una vieja y fuerte amistad. Me gustó tu muestra, me gustó el espacio, sentí mucha calidez. He estado casi en todas tus muestras, creo que solo he faltado a la de Irlanda, y me atrevo a decir que este espacio fue el que mejor se prestó para que tus mujeres se lucieran... Felicidades y los mejores deseos para lo que se avecina. Ojalá y pueda seguir acompañàndote en esta etapa de tu vida, separadas por un mar de corales y piratas. Eleiang!

Michel Rojkind and Victor Legorreta at the RA

This weekend I went twice to the Royal Academy of Arts to the talks of Mexican Architects.  The first talk on Saturday was by architect Michel Rojkind. It was amazing, I liked very much the friendly and social approach to all of his projects, they are quite innovative and he thinks of people.  He is an excellent story teller and all the public was captured by his talk. He is a people person, and he reflects that in his architecture... the project that impact me the most was the on-site extension of la Cineteca Nacional. I loved this place since I was very young and used to live in Satélite; as I am a film lover remember driving every weekend there. Later I was lucky enough to live in Coyoacan so I travelled there by bike.  I was very impressed by the fact that Rojkind's project involves the whole area of the Cineteca, he includes the Archives in his plan and leaves the old Cineteca building untouched, giving tribute to the history of this old buildi...

A leap of faith

  13 years ago I took a leap of faith and came with my family to London.  I thought it was going to be easy. It was not. I thought that because during my youth I lived in another country, and it was one of the best experiences in my life. That other country was Germany, and since then I longed for Europe, well I confess I still do… because you should know, England is not Europe. Of course this is my very personal view. I was born in Mexico City, a vibrant and chaotic city. Mexico is a surreal beautiful country. When you are abroad you worth it even more. You might wondered then, why did we decide to leave Mexico?  Well, we decided to leave Mexico because my country was becoming very insecure. It was during president Calderon’s failed drug war. Mexico was so violent that we decided to migrate for the sake of our family.  I have been very lucky to be able to travel a lot during my lifetime. When I was a kid, I was two months in China. It was the China of Mao ...
