Omar Rodríguez-Graham | Fabiola Menchelli | Emilio Chapela

In its main room, Arróniz presents First essay by Omar Rodríguez-Graham.

Omar Rodríguez-Graham reflects on and seeks to give continuity to certain legacies in the history of painting. In this project, his attention is focused on large-scale or mural painting and, also, on some instances in which the medium was used to articulate, through a synthesis with other artistic disciplines, a totalizing experience. Both questions may resonate with the development of modern art in Mexico during the first decades of the 20th century. The project, one of the most ambitious in Rodríguez-Graham's career, includes, in addition to his pictorial practice, a musical piece of his own and has had the creative collaboration of the choreographer Diego Vega Solórza and the Mexican designer Guillermo Vargas ( 1/ 8takamura); in addition to a curatorial text by Daniel Garza Usabiaga

In the project room I carry all the names I'm given by Fabiola Menchelli Curated by Laura Orozco.

The exhibition consists of a homonymous series that materially and discursively disrupts the photographic object through its interaction with other cultural practices. Doubling implies an irremediable aggression against the materiality of the medium, which generally appears as a smooth, continuous and two-dimensional surface. However, photography appears and is due to the transition between its opposites: negative and positive, visible and invisible, real and fiction, digital and analog, liquid and solid, etc. Fabiola Menchelli is a Beneficiary of the National System of Art Creators.

And on the terrace, the exhibition Another Elephant by Emilio Chapela.

Emilio Chapela's artistic practice explores the intricate connections between science, technology and ecology. He investigates the notions of time and space that are manifested through matter and forces such as astronomical phenomena, light, weather, gravity, rocks, plants, volcanoes and rivers. Another Elephant investigates the environmental crisis and the relationships of power and domination exerted by human activities on their environment through symbols, such as the railway. As part of the exhibition, Another Planet will be premiered, a musical composition performed by two singers and a guitar, made by Enrico Chapela specifically for the exhibition and based on the well-known children's song in which a potentially infinite number of elephants balance on the a spider's web without breaking it.
