Espacios revelados

About this book

"Espacios Revelados Guadalajara" is an artistic project that brings together local, national and international creators, as well as academics, civil organizations and neighbors around the forgotten modern architectural heritage developed since 1950 through an initiative of the Foundation Siemens Stiftung in collaboration with the Goethe-Institut Mexiko and the Secretaría de Cultural of Jalisco. From August 2019 to March 2020, a new urban project of the CHANGING PLACES / ESPACIOS REVELADOS series was held in Guadalajara, Mexico's second largest city and the capital of the state of Jalisco. DocumentA/Escénicas published an independent book with artistic documents and texts on the topics of the project in Guadalajara. Titled "Espacios revelados. Prácticas artísticas en territorio" (Spaces revealed. Artistic practices in the territory), the book comprises a collection of extracts referring to thematic, aesthetic and conceptual developments of the project in an ethnographic, analytical and testimonial approach that relates the reflections and questions, which unfold the artistic practices in the territory and reflects on empty, deactivated, abandoned spaces, and location-specific practices of the artists in the urban space.
