Artistic residence at ATEA
(La Merced, Mexico City, 2016)

Conversation in La Merced (Mexico City)

By Lucrecia Sodo and Jesus Cruz Caba

The piece that we generated and presented in Atea on October 29, 2016, was the result of 2 months of work, during which we explored and recognized different aspects of the Merced neighborhood: its identity, its commercial characteristic, plastic objects, the fabrics, hills, curtains and the color and movement that all this implies,

Without a preconceived idea, we began to discover possibilities of assemblies, overlays, and combinations of these materials with other elements from our daily work. This is how we created a functional piece, a kind of suspended partition in which different techniques and materials converge, ending the presentation of the piece to the period of residence at ATEA.
Conversation in La Merced is a creative discussion that seeks to generate assemblies between materials that represent specific identities and localities.
