This residency of Ernesto Collado and Piero Steiner is a showcase and platform for collaboration with the university community. It features four activities based on the same theme, building ourselves together:
'Constructivo' (Constructive), a show that questions the ethics of modern architecture.
'Cimbrado' (Formwork), a creative laboratory.
'Demolición' (Demolition), a discussion group with academics from the UNAM’s Faculty of Architecture.
'El disparador' (The trigger), a site-specific piece to be detonated in the area surrounding the museum.
'Constructivo' is an impassioned manifesto against the sterility of modern architecture, as well as a critical and imaginative perspective on our society and the buildings that shelter it. It is a performative game where two real construction workers (the only ones who can actually build anything) invite you to rethink universal issues while seeking personal responses to the ethical void that surrounds them, with the help of their hilarious humour and boundless humanity.
'El Disparador' is a site-specific piece that begins with a man dressed in an elegant suit who guides you through well-known streets of your city, triggering unexpected mental associations. Without uttering a word, he triggers presentiments (between idea and emotion) on cardboard signs. His silence questions things noisily and the simplicity of the piece creates a space in which to rethink oneself and rethink everything. It takes a hilarious and unimagined look at places you thought you knew, shattering prejudices and preconceived ideas through humour and everyday poetry. It provides a good dose of ‘realisticism’ (the mysticism of everyday life).
'Cimbrado', a creative laboratory with art graduates and students of the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, is a space for experimentation created by Ernesto Collado and Piero Steiner based on new stage languages and methodologies. It is a place where young Mexican artists and two of the most interesting representatives from the Iberian scene can meet and engage.
'Demolición' is a discussion group with academics from the UNAM’s Faculty of Architecture and members of the Colegio de Arquitectos de la Ciudad de México (CAM SAM) based on the ethics of the inhabitable in contemporary architecture – a central theme in the work of Piero Steiner and Ernesto Collado.
