Conversaciones con Mathias Goeritz

Autor: Mario Monteforte Toledo , Mathias Goeritz

Número de Páginas: 212

Cuando dos hombres inteligentes que han rebasado ya los sesenta años, se ponen a charlar delante de una grabadora, suele salir casi siempre un libro lleno de interés. Así sucede con éste, en el que un escritor guatemalteco y un escultor alemán hablan en su trastierro mexicano de política, arte, modernidad, vanguardia, religión y futuro imaginado. Tal vez sea necesario advertir que los dos cordialísimos dialogantes están a considerable distancia ideológica uno del otro.

El retorno de la serpiente y la invención de la arquitectura emocional

Autor: Varios Autores

Número de Páginas: 588

Catálogo de la retrospectiva del escultor Mathias Goeritz, MNCARS. Un recorrido calidoscópico sobre la figura, la obra y las aportaciones teóricas del escultor mexicano de origen alemán Mathias Goeritz (Danzig, 1915 - México DF, 1990). La exposición retrospectiva MNCARS y el presente libro, con motivo del centenario de su nacimiento, se articulan alrededor del concepto de la arquitectura emocional, que formuló en 1954 y que convirtió en el eje teórico y estético de toda su obra a lo largo de la segunda mitad del siglo XX. La obra escultórica de Goeritz y su trayectoria son una asunción del arte como un proyecto meta-artístico que desborda en el ámbito de lo social, lo político y lo público. A partir de una forma primigenia -las líneas de una arista que conforman el cuerpo de una serpiente-, Goeritz urde toda su obra formal y conceptual, caracterizada por los principios de colaboración, libertad de creación y de recuperación de las funciones sociales del diseño.

Mathias Goeritz

Autor: Jennifer Josten

Número de Páginas: 353

The first major work in English on Mathias Goeritz (1915-1990), this book illuminates the artist's pivotal role within the landscape of twentieth-century modernism. Goeritz became recognized as an abstract sculptor after arriving in Mexico from Germany by way of Spain in 1949. His call to integrate abstract forms into civic and religious architecture, outlined in his "Emotional Architecture" manifesto, had a transformative impact on midcentury Mexican art and design. While best known for the experimental museum El Eco and his collaborations with the architect Luis Barrag n, including the brightly colored towers of Satellite City, Goeritz also shaped the Bauhaus-inspired curriculum at Guadalajara's School of Architecture and the iconic Cultural Program of Mexico City's 1968 Olympic Games. Josten addresses the Cold War implications of these and other initiatives that pitted Goeritz, an advocate of internationalist abstraction, against Diego Rivera and David Alfaro Siqueiros, ardent defenders of the realist style that prevailed in official Mexican art during the postrevolutionary period. Exploring Goeritz's dialogues with leading figures among the Parisian and New York avant-gardes,...

Número de Páginas: 1191

El Comité Organizador del 56º Congreso Internacional de Americanistas (ICA) publica las actas del encuentro celebrado en la Universidad de Salamanca el 15 al 20 de julio de 2018. Bajo el lema «Universalidad y particularismo en las Américas», reflexionó sobre la dialéctica entre la universalidad y los particularismos en la producción de conocimiento, un diálogo en el que la necesidad de conocer los particularismos de los fenómenos sociales, políticos, artísticos y culturales obliga a formular nuevas hipótesis que enriquecen y replantean las grandes teorías generales de las ciencias y las humanidades. El carácter interdisciplinario e inclusivo que ha caracterizado al ICA desde su inicio en 1875, como un congreso de estudios de área en sentido completo, hace aún más significativa esa dinámica de producción de conocimiento. Con un planteamiento interdisciplinario e inclusivo, ICA reúne a investigadores que estudian el continente americano, desde Alaska hasta Tierra de Fuego, incluyendo el territorio del Caribe, a partir del análisis de su política, economía, cultural, lenguas, historia y prehistoria. Así, el Comité Organizador les invitó participar en el...

Constructing Identity in Contemporary Architecture

Autor: Peter Herrle , Stephanus Schmitz

Número de Páginas: 309

The global spread of uniform modes of production and cultural values has been accompanied by a dissemination of stereotypes of "modern" architecture styles almost everywhere around the globe. Paradoxically, the reverse process has also emerged: In some countries, the elites feel the necessity to counterbalance the "loss of identity" and defend their own cultures against the "intruding" forces of globalization. What started as a defensive notion has developed into a more progressive attempt to re-create what has allegedly been lost. This trend is being strongly expressed in discourses about architecture in countries of the South. Who are the actors feeling compelled to "construct" new identities? How are these new identities in architecture created in various parts of the world? And, which are the ingredients borrowed from various historical and ethnic traditions and other sources? These and other questions are discussed in five case studies from different parts of the world, written by renowned scholars from Brazil, Mexico, Egypt, India and Singapore.
