the building in Circuito Interior and Leibinitz in Mexico City, from where Jose Carlos Martinat took the grafittied windows, it used to be one of my favourite 'anonymous' modern buildings, soon to be demolished or transformed...

Difraccion
Revolver Galeria from Peru at Arroniz Gallery, Mexico City
Plaza Rio de Janeiro No. 53 Colonia Roma
from June 21 to August 19, 2011

with works by Miguel Andrade Valdez, Elena Damiani, Matias Duville, Philippe Gruenberg, Andrés Marroquin Winkelmann, José Carlos Martinat, Gilda Mantilla, Giancarlo Scaglia y José Vera Matos.

'Difraccion' presents the work of 9 artists that are working on the perceptual experience from the possibilities offered by light. Physical diffraction is a phenomenon of light waves based on the bending and spreading of these when they encounter a limitation or pass through a slot. In this case it refers to the light waves that pass through different gaps and into the gallery. The exhibition brings together a variety of artists, techniques, resources and materials within the same subject, where the object complements the work that appeals to different connotations, generating a speech. Indeed, the art show is an act of self-consciousness and a break with a previous art production. Most of all the emergence of a new sensitivity to the present. The intervention leads to a specific experience in the viewer, without a precise objective to understand this representation of light from the elements that when are placed in the gallery have the possibility to reconfigure the vision of who enters into the exhibition space.

'Somewhere Over the Rainbow', Pablo Leon de la Barra’s proposal for CIRCA LABS proposes a laboratory to explore possible cultural scenarios in Puerto Rico, it functions as a kind of Village Fair/Market/Open Museum, where invited galleries, some of the most interesting young contemporary galleries from the American continent, take over containers which become ‘rooms’ of an open air museum which doesn’t exist in Puerto Rico yet. In the space between the containers, a social space is created where different local artists and organizations will create an oasis-activation zone. There will also be a bulletin board for cultural proposals for Puerto Rico, a reading area, a hanging painting exhibition and an outdoor cinema. With this, within the art fair CIRCA LABS provides an opportunity to envision future possibilities for cultural life in Puerto Rico and creates a different scenario for market and culture to coexist.
