    ABOGADO

    July 20 – August 11, 2024

    Anahuacalli Museum, Mexico City, MX

    A site-specific intervention by FOS at the Anahuacalli Museum in Mexico City. The project combines sculpture, architecture, design, and music to create a space that fosters reflection and discussion on the concept of Justice and the creation of laws as manifestations of social cooperation.    

     

    Architecturally, ABOGADO is conceived as a 10 x 10 meter plan volume that symbolizes the structure within which we organize ourselves as a society. Inside, it houses enough space to carry out activations through the public program and the presence of visitors. The pavilion is oriented in the space in relation to the Anahuacalli museum building. The entrance of the pavilion welcomes the public entering the esplanade, and the exit coincides with the main entrance of the museum, connecting both buildings.

    For this intervention, artist FOS was inspired by one of the multiple facets that the Anahuacalli and the City of the Arts project conceived by Diego Rivera had in their origins: to provide space for reflection on relevant topics and artistic and cultural expressions of the contemporary world, as well as to provide a space where different crafts and disciplines could coincide. Taking this as a starting point, FOS sought to create a space to think about our coexistence in freedom under the law, as well as our ability to re-imagine and redesign a future based on our past and present, maintaining ourselves as a free society.   

     

    The roof of the pavilion is composed of magnified fragments of Mesoamerican pieces belonging to the Anahuacalli museum collection, thus integrating the history of the place and the original vocation of housing Diego Rivera’s collection.    

     

    As in most of FOS’ previous works, this space conveys the history of the place through signs and references. When entering the pavilion, the public will be covered by fragments of artifacts from their own history.
