AMBULANTE

AMBULANTE

Ambulante goes to places that have limited access to screenings and education in documentary filmmaking, in a bid to build a participative, critical and informed audience, and to open new channels of expression and reflection in Mexico and in other countries.

Every year, for two months, Ambulante organizes an international documentary film festival that visits different states in Mexico. With an international exhibition of over one hundred films, approximately one hundred guests and more than one hundred and fifty venues, Ambulante promotes documentary cinema throughout Mexico. The tour seeks to widen the traditional exhibition circuits in the country, beyond the commercial film theaters so as to reach different groups.

As of 2019, Ambulante includes < Arte Abierto > as one of its venues in Mexico City. In May, < Arte Abierto > had an open-air screening of four of Ambulante’s documentary films at Artz Pedregal.

LA COLECCIÓN JUMEX

UGO RONDINONE (Switzerland, 1964)
LOVE INVENT US, 1999

Neon sign, acrylic, translucent foil, steel

In his artistic proposal, Ugo Rondinone uses “very basic raw symbols, something that everybody can relate to, from a child to an old person, from the East to the West.” His work emphasizes on creating an experience rather than conceptualizing or understanding it.

The rainbow is one of the most recurrent motives in Rondinone’s artwork. Since 1997 he has created large-scale signs with simple yet poetic messages. These metal structures shaped and colored like a rainbow, composed of large lit words seem to float in the air. This work seeks to be beautiful and fantastic; the rainbow is also a symbol used by the LGBT community and therefore this piece is about the freedom of loving whomever one chooses.

For Rondinone, this symbol is of special importance since it is a reminder of his long-term relationship with the acclaimed New York writer, poet and fellow artist John Giorno.

LA COLECCIÓN JUMEX

DAN GRAHAM (United States, 1942)
GROOVY SPIRAL, 2013

Two-way mirror, stainless steel

“My pavilions are always a kind of two-way mirror, which is both transparent and reflective simultaneously, and it changes as the sunlight changes. This relates to the changing landscape, but it also means that people on the inside and on the outside have views of each other superimposed, as each gaze at the other and at the material. It’s intersubjective.”

Dan Graham

Dan Graham’s pavilions are half way between design, art and functional architecture; they are built to create tangible experiences for the public. These works play with perspective and may even disorient the viewer, in a bid to question our everyday perception of spaces.

DANIEL BUREN

DANIEL BUREN (France, 1938)
DE LA ROTONDA DE LA FUENTE. CINCO COLORES PARA MÉXICO, 2018

In situ work, memorial to architect Manuel Tolsá

Marble, aluminum and colored glass

Daniel Buren’s work revolves around the abstraction of the form through lines and color; his artistic proposal is framed within the fields of architecture and urbanism. With his in situ work, he highlights certain aspects of the buildings and spaces he intervenes, and as a result he also has an impact on the landscape. Ultimately, his compositions address the relationship between human beings and their physical surroundings.

The artwork exhibited here was thought up and created to fit the central fountain of the ARTZ Pedregal complex. In doing so, the artist opened a dialogue with the space and its surroundings, by combining simple materials, geometric figures and solid colors that coexist with the water and the natural light.

AI WEIWEI

AI WEIWEI (China, 1957)
FOREVER, 2013

Stainless steel

Forever is China’s most popular bicycle brand and it has been mass-produced in Shanghai since 1940.

The sculpture consists of a series of bicycles tortuously exhibiting their iterative shape. It prompts a reflection on the individual in Chinese society, where little by little metropolitan growth has led to the emergence of other means of transport which have replaced the use of bicycles. Today, the urbanism of contemporary Chinese metropolis has left their utility and social status marginalized and diminished.

On the other hand, you can’t help but notice his reference to the ready-mades or found objects from the early 20th century, where the bicycle is one of the most recognizable figures.

TANIA CANDIANI

TANIA CANDIANI (Mexico, 1974)
KIOSKO SONORO, 2018

Steel structure, trumpets, tubes, concrete base

To create this interactive piece, the artist used as a starting point a traditional kiosk, and the social and cultural role it plays in the public square.

The sound sculpture reflects on the historic burden contained within this type of construction. It does so through its structure, which comprises a reticulated installation of trumpets, connected via rigid hoses to a single transmission point that can be activated by the public. The piece then acquires new attributions by allowing for a direct personal experience in a public environment.

CARLA ALTESOR

De padre uruguayo y madre de ascendencia Yucateca, Carla Altesor nació en la Ciudad de México. A causa de esta mezcla de costumbres, creció amando desde asados, pastas frescas y Panuchos, hasta “comfort foods” americanos. Guiada por una familia donde todos fueron maestros de clases de cocina, y gracias a la fusión de sabores y culturas, su paladar y conocimiento culinario tuvieron oportunidad de ampliarse desde temprana edad. Carla es Licenciada en Artes Plásticas por la Universidad de las Américas Puebla.

Estando en Cholula, su inquietud la impulsó a abrir un club de comida donde cada semana se preparaban menús de degustación con ingredientes locales. Igualmente, asesoró aperturas de negocios de comida, y empezó a crear y servir pequeños eventos exclusivos.

En 2007 comienza a impartir cursos de cocina particulares y a la par, escribie reseñas de restaurantes para revistas como Saborearte, Sabor y Animal.

Retoma la creación de eventos boutique dentro de la ciudad de México y aún los ejecuta. En 2016 se unió a Sicomoro Ediciones para llevar a cabo el libro Alejandro Ruiz, Cocina de Oaxaca, donde su participación comienza con la investigación culinaria, y pasa por creación, desarrollo prueba, edición de recetas y textos.

Actualmente Carla vive en la Ciudad de México y continúa desarrollando recetas, escribiendo, diseñando y dando asesorías dentro del rubro culinario.

EMMA JATZIRI

Emma Jatziri (1991) is a young contemporary Mexican artist with a Fine Arts Bachelor’s degree from UABC Faculty of Arts, Ensenada. She is a beneficiary of programs such as FONCA’s Young Creators and PECDA. She has received several awards, including the XXI Biennial of Baja California (2017). Collectively, the award “Arte Abierto para todos” (2019), I Biennial of Cultural Diffusion Biodiversity of Mexico (2019), Encuentro Nacional de Arte Joven (2018 and 2019), Salón ACME (2018) and UNAM Biennial (2016).

Emma Jatziri explores the creation of three-dimensional work in which it is possible to perceive elements of the drawing in her sculptures. The wire mesh is the technical solution with which she investigates the plastic and visual capacity of the material, and its construction possibilities.

Her work goes through the filter of personal experience, she does it not by mimetic transcriptions, but from the interpretation of a landscape that she rediscovers, claiming the peculiarities of her environment and of her cultural roots.

Emma Jatziri lives and works in Ensenada, Baja California.

MARCO MARGAIN

This capsule is for all foodies.

Marco Margain is a Mexican chef who practices “liquidation” cooking, referring to the use of ingredients that one has to create a delicious dish.

Marco’s most important projects are: his restaurant, Broka, in the heart of the Roma neighborhood and Hacienda San Andrés, where a large part of the ingredients in his kitchen come from, such as wild mushrooms which come from his organic crops. The union of these projects is focused on the return to the field and sustainable consumption. Both on the farm and in the restaurant work is done according to the natural processes of the earth; taking advantage of and consuming seasonal products.

Marco explains the importance of nourishing the land so that these nutrients are transmitted to the crops. For example, organic waste from the restaurant is returned to the ranch to make compost and livestock food.

This chef practices what some know as ‘agriculture with culture’, an agriculture that helps us regain a farming culture that is closer to nature and processes, respecting the land, the environment and the final product. A sustainable and healthy agri-food system that shows that there are alternatives regarding food production.
