Alameda Circuit: Some notes on the Alameda Garden, Meetings, Shock box and Serigraphs Works

Abstract

The personal exhibition of Gilbertto Prado and Grupo Poéticas Digitais was held at the Alameda Art Laboratory, LAA, in Mexico City in June / August 2018. The "Alameda Circuit" exhibition combined a series of site specific works created for the LAA , in the old convent of San Diego (XVI Century) in dialogue with personal works of the artist and the Group arranged in 5 different rooms. The idea, and its conceptual party, was to establish various circuits with / between space and visitors in their relationship with works. The various historical processes, including local customs, invasion, colonization and evangelization, cultural clashes and their ties to the urban environment, particularly the neighboring Paseo Alameda, combined with the story of an artistic trajectory of several decades, were put on the scene. The exhibition was curated by Jorge La Ferla. This text will deal with some notes on the Alameda Garden, Encontros (Meetings), and Shock Box works.
