The exhibition design for the \u2018Mexican Modernisms\u2019 exhibition at the BOZAR in Brussels consists of two different rooms, each with a different layout and content. In the first room, huge prints of 40 architectural projects were glued on black MDF boards and fixed to the lateral walls in order to create a sort of \u2018painter’s cabinet\u2019 and take advantage of the height of the space. In the middle, a large central table with a black MDF top and a pinewood structure creates a place for documentation booklets with additional information. A series of flexible drawing table lamps and wooden stools break the symmetry to give the space a more spontaneous character. The second room contains audiovisual work. The space is organized through three L-shaped platforms made out of black MDF and pinewood beams that create independent yet open spaces for viewing the video fragments.<\/p>\n
Curatorial: The history of Mexican modern architecture is presented here as an array of fragments that showcase a diverse and heterogeneous production of over 50 years of design and building. These fragments are arranged here in a sort of \u2018wunderkammer\u2019 of architectural projects, which expose their relevance beyond their specific historical and geographical condition. In doing so, we have embarked on a double agenda. First, to de-mystify the idea of what is considered as Mexican Modern Architecture, both in Mexico and abroad: the idea of a colorful play of surfaces as a reductive interpretation of certain architectures may suggest. And secondly, to privilege the medium of architectural photography as the main way modern architecture is conveyed through history.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
