mexico city: a tremor in the structure


Photographers in Mexico City: I Heart Photograph is excited to announce a portfolio review and workshop I will be giving here next week, on Wednesday the 30th of June at the Museo Tamayo. Would love to have you take part so please send along your portfolios for consideration. Big thanks to Tóxico for organizing this as part of their exciting new Tóxico: Lab initiative, keep an eye on all their activities here. Also thanks to the Tamayo for hosting this event, follow their great online magazine here. Full details are below.

A Tremor In The Structure
Revisión de portafolio + plataforma de diálogo

30 de Junio 10am – 6pm
Museo Tamayo
Entrada gratuita
Selección por portafolio
Cupo muy limitado

Laurel Ptak es la creadora de I Heart Photograph, uno de los blogs de fotografía más visitados del mundo. Por medio de éste Laurel ha dado a conocer a docenas de jóvenes fotógrafos, y de paso se ha vuelto una figura importante entre la nueva generación de curadores independientes–quienes logran moverse con la misma soltura entre territorios virtuales y los espacio de las galerías o museos tradicionales. Porque además de haber trabajado con instituciones establecidads tales como el Guggenheim Museum, PS1 Contemporary Art Center, Art:21, Aperture Foundation y el Museo Tamayo, ha buscado experimentar continuamente con nuevas estrategias curatoriales y formatos altamente experimentales.

En este taller intensivo Laurel nos platicará sobre los nuevos modos en que se está reconstituyendo el mundo de la fotografía hoy en día; sobre las múltiples alternativas que existen para crear plataformas de visibilidad, comunidad e intercambios; y sobre la interesante posibilidad de poner en crisis a las estructuras jerárquicas tradicionales.

Además, habrá una revisión de portafolio en vivo y directo: podrás compartir tu trabajo, ver el trabajo de otros, intercambiar ideas y recibir retroalimentación. Los mejores portafolios serán publicados en iheartphotograph.com y en el blog de Tóxico; también se harán llegar a varios editores de las revistas culturales más importantes de México.

Laurel inaugura Tóxico: Lab, una serie de talleres multidisciplinarios de Tóxico: especialmente creados para (y por) una nueva generación de talentosos artistas emergentes.

Interesados en asistir al taller favor de mandar a foto@toxicocultura.com:

-Un PDF con tu portafolio
-Una breve biografía
-Un par de renglones que expliquen por qué te interesa asistir

La plática se dará en inglés, si requieres traducción porfavor menciónalo también en tu correo. Recomendamos escribir lo antes posible dado el número limitado de lugares. Fecha límite: Lunes 28 de junio, 6pm

agradecemos como siempre el generoso patrocinio de la fundación/colección jumex, así como el apoyo del museo tamayo, the lift y tomo.

billy rennekamp




if you're in nyc this is not to be missed tonight/this weekend. billy rennekamp's 'winwin' at CLEOPATRA's. "rennekamp has been collecting and creating a variety of sports balls and equipment...the artist's exhibition includes a video game in addition to videos. largely influenced by the writings of johan huizinga and roger caillois, rennekamp's work is mainly concerned with the generation of games through play within pre-established formal systems, ie. cheating." full details are here.

ramiro chaves




ramiro chaves's 'proyecto canada'. "CANADA are the monumental letters which, for over 50 years, advertised a famous mexican shoe brand, along the condominio insurgentes façade at the insurgentes avenue in mexico city. at the turn of the millennium the company went bankrupt and the letters, which had become an urban referent, were brought down...a few years after the economical failure of CANADA these letters became a forgotten document." see more here.
