NO WALLS, BUT TRANSPARENCIES

"The ruins in their singularity are the most living thing in history, since only what has survived its destruction, what has remained in ruins, lives historically," says María Zambrano. Jorge Scrimaglio, Argentine architect, is a builder who appeals to that spirit that Kahn defined in the same sense: “you have to surround buildings with ruins”. And a building that appeals to be a ruin, with walls that are not such, that house emptiness and serve as support to a sense that extends triumphant; as a way of survival, not from what it was, but from what it did not become. Empty as absence. Making concrete a possibility not yet realized, like the life of the ruins that are indefinite and more than any other spectacle awakens in the mind of those who contemplate them the impression of an infinity.

AMAZE ME AND I AMAZE YOU – FRIEDEBERG AT DOT FIFTYONE GALLERY, MIAMI

Dot Fiftyone presents the first solo show of the celebrated Mexican artist Pedro Friedeberg in the gallery. With a career spanning more than six decades, Friedeberg is considered an outstanding and emblematic cultural figure. Born in 1936, he was first recognized as a Surrealist artist alongside Leonora Carrington and Remedios Varo. He originally trained as an architect and rejected modernism, turning to art with his mentor and friend Mathias Goeritz. In the early 1960s he was part of the interdisciplinary group Los Hartos (The Fed-Ups), always opposing the canon as well as visual and conceptual trends. The irony and absurdity that has characterized his broader artistic practice is embodied in the Mano-Silla (Hand Chair), which has elevated him to the global sphere since 1962. He remains prolific and is significant for new generations.

COLUMNS AS TEXTS: READING ARCHITECTURE

In 1985, Josefina Ludmer gave a set of classes in the form of a seminar at the University of Buenos Aires. These classes marked a turning point in the way we read literary theory. In dialogue with the book Ways of Seeing by John Berger, Ludmer will raise the question about ways of reading literature. Ricardo Piglia dictates in 1990 a seminar composed of 11 classes that will later be known as the seminar of "The three vanguards"; This will become a point of reference to account - among other problems - for how certain authors build their own tradition by confronting it with others.

PHOTOGRAPHY AS A CONSTRUCTION OF ARCHITECTURAL SENSE

Gonzalo Maggi, in his photography, provides entity to a space that, although occupied, emanates a certain feeling of emptiness. By introducing a subject, an individual but metonymic form of existence, he gives architecture a meaning that exceeds its own ontology.
