In 2020, Mexico celebrates its 20th anniversary and as part of the celebrations we invite the French artist Camille Walala to reinterpret under its characteristic «pop tribal» style 3 emblematic buildings of Mexican architecture.
The spaces that aroused Walala's creativity are the Luis Barragán and Mathias Goeritz satellite towershe MUAC (University Museum of Contemporary Art) from Teodoro González de León and the «Paragüas» of the National Museum of Anthropology of Pedro Ramírez Vázquezwhich we present in three unique covers that will leave an indelible mark on the history of AD Mexico.
Within the framework of the Art Weekwe tell you the story behind this collection edition.
Satellite towers
Conceived as a sculptural set, the Satellite towers They were created by the architect Luis Barragán -Onico Mexicano awarded a Pritzker Prize- and the multifaceted artist Mathias Goeritz with the collaboration of Jesus «Chucho» Reyes Pintor and antique dealer. For their creation, Goeritz and Barragán found inspiration in the Towers of San Gimignano in Italy.
Inaugurated in 1958, under the government of Adolfo Ruiz Cortines as a symbol of the nascent satellite city, a subdivision that was then raised as a place to live away from the city in an environment in contact with nature.
