Dijo que la Secretaría de Cultura, SCf, sí está obligada a mostrar la parte del documento donde se verifique la existencia de la supuesta previsión testamentaria dejada por Paz antes de morir, sobre la cual se ha amparado la decisión de depositar su archivo en ECN, debido a que es una decisión que afecta al patrimonio cultural de la nación. “La autoridad sí está obligada a mostrar no todo el documento, pero sí esa parte donde toman como fundamento una decisión que afecta al patrimonio de la nación. Están obligados y al negarlo están pisoteando nuestros derechos culturales en la medida en que no nos muestran que existe un fundamento de su decisión y que no se trata de inacción, ignorancia, omisión o colusión para desaparecer un bien”, afirmó; además, aseveró que la SC debe aclarar si ECN será custodio o depositario del legado compuesto por libros, cartas y otros documentos, debido a que existe una gran diferencia jurídica entre ambos términos.

  • INTERPOL 26. August 2015 Stuttgart Theaterhaus „El Pintor“
    INTERPOL 26. August 2015 Stuttgart Theaterhaus „El Pintor“-Tour 2015 Gäste: Abay Es gab keine Garantie dafür, dass INTERPOL jemals ein weiteres Album veröffentlichen würden. Nach dem Ausstieg ihres Bassisten Carlos Dengler, der nach den Aufnahmen für die 2010 erschienene selbstbetitelte LP die Band verließ und dem darauf folgenden unermüdlichen Marathon von mehr als 200 Shows, hatten die übrigen Bandmitglieder - Gitarrist Daniel Kessler, Sänger/Gitarrist Paul Banks sowie Schlagzeuger Sam Fogarino – erstmals beschlossen, eine Auszeit von fast drei Jahren zu nehmen. In dieser Zeit wohnten sie in unterschiedlichen Städten und erzeugten so nicht nur eine geografische, sondern auch mentale Distanz zu INTERPOL. Zurück zum Ursprung: die Geschichte von INTERPOL beginnt 1997 an der NYU, als Daniel Kessler seinem Impuls folgt und Carlos Dengler und Paul Banks dazu rekrutiert eine Band zu gründen. „Mir ging es nicht so sehr darum, talentierte Musiker oder Leute mit dem gleichen Musikgeschmack zu finden, sondern eher Gleichgesinnte in Hinblick auf eine gewisse gemeinsame Sensibilität“, erinnert er sich. 2002 erscheint, mit Sam Fogarino am Schlagzeug, ihr Debüt ‚Turn On The Bright Lights‘ auf Matador und wird von Pitchfork als #1 Album des Jahres ausgezeichnet. Im folgenden Jahrzehnt veröffentlichen sie ein Trio an Alben, mit denen sie die Top 5 der Billboard 200 anführen. Es folgen Lobeshymnen von Rolling Stone bis zum TIME Magazine, einhergehend mit Auftritten bei Latenight Shows wie David Letterman, Conan O‘Brien, Jay Leno, Headline Shows bei Festivals wie dem Lollapalooza oder All Tomorrow's Parties, aber auch Konzerte mit Ikonen wie U2 und The Cure. Während ihrer Auszeit hatte jeder einzelne von ihnen Neben- und Soloprojekte, doch letztendlich haben sie wieder zusammen gefunden, nicht durch die Aussicht zurück ins Studio zu kehren, sondern durch den gleichen unerschütterlichen Drang, der sie ursprünglich zusammen gebracht hatte: to let the music lead them where it may.

    Dirección de Divulgación Cultural SÍNTESIS INFORMATIVA MATUTINA Jueves 05 / 07 / 2018 EDUARDO VÁZQUEZ MARTÍN Inauguran la muestra "Los caballos de la Revolución" de Manuel Marín El pintor, escultor y dibujante Manuel Marín inauguró este miércoles su muestra “Los caballos de la Revolución”, la cual fusiona materia, historia e idiosincrasia, en la Galería Media Luna del Museo Nacional de la Revolución (MNR). Son 17 piezas de madera laqueada y policromada, con las que rinden homenaje a la figura del equino. Durante la ceremonia de apertura de la exposición que permanecerá en ese espacio hasta el próximo 24 de agosto, el secretario de Cultura de la Ciudad de México, Eduardo Vázquez Martín, aseguró que Marín “honra al equino, animal que llegó a este territorio con la Conquista y tuvo un rol protagónico en la Revolución”. Explicó a los asistentes que la obra de Manuel Marín “es sencilla pero no fácil” porque, dijo, “el artista tiene el don de no dejar de ser niño, cualidad a la que suma su inmensa capacidad creativa y su madura técnica” para ofrecer al espectador piezas con las que ilustra uno de los capítulos más importantes e interesantes de la historia de esta nación. Marín describió sus piezas como esculturas-juguetes, y con una sonrisa, se dirigió a los presentes para que jugaran con ellas “aunque sea visualmente”. Además de Vázquez Martín, asistieron el titular de la Autoridad del Centro Histórico, Jesús González Schmal; la directora del MNR, Alejandra Utrilla y la museóloga Miriam Káiser. La muestra de Manuel Marín, dijo el responsable de la política cultural de la capital del país, “convive muy bien con la sencillez del Museo Nacional de la Revolución, que en el tiempo nuevo por venir (en alusión a la transición política del país) está llamado a ser un espacio abierto a la reflexión sobre en qué consisten las más grandes transformaciones”.
