  • Cultural Management in the National Palace of Mexico: Use and Heritage Conservation
    Ge-conservación Conservação | Conservation Cultural management in the National Palace of Mexico: use and heritage conservation Lilia Teresa Rivero Weber Abstract: Conservation of Mexico National Palace is a complex labor, since implies the preservation, not only of the material aspects of the building and the objects contained within, but also all the immaterial values reflected on the walls of the structure that mirrors the historic continuity of Mexico and therefore part of the national identity. Due these conditions, National Palace is in our days the most emblematic and symbolical government building of the country. In order to preserve the monument, a comprehensive conservation-cultural management program has been developed and implemented, considering operational aspects of the monument management, that is also part of the cultural infrastructure of Mexico City, since this historical complex attracts around 340 000 visitors each year. In addition, among the Conservator´s Office strategy has been to promote collaboration between different actors involved with the use, operation and conservation of the monument, in which are included external governmental offices and academic institutions, both national and international. This collaborative approach has been crucial in order to implement the Management Program for the conservation of the monument. Key words: Cultural Management, Preventive Conservation, Strategic Planning. Gestión cultural en el Palacio Nacional de México: uso y conservación del patrimonio Resumen: La conservación del Palacio Nacional de México representa una labor compleja, ya que no solo contempla los aspectos materiales del edificio y los objetos contenidos en éste, sino que también todos los aspectos inmateriales del inmueble y que muestran la continuidad histórica de México, y por lo tanto, del desarrollo de la identidad nacional.

    Dirección de Difusión y Relaciones Públicas Ciudad de México, a 19 de mayo de 2019 Boletín núm. 713 El Museo Mural Diego Rivera realiza recorrido en lengua náhuatl, en el contexto del Día Internacional de los Museos Este proyecto de inclusión y acceso al arte fortalece el papel de los museos como espacios de encuentro Se trata de un acercamiento a la diversidad cultural del país y a la obra del artista El Museo Mural Diego Rivera celebró con un recorrido guiado en lengua náhuatl en torno al mural Sueño de una tarde dominical en la Alameda Central, que el artista guanajuatense pintara entre julio y septiembre de 1947. El recorrido, además de abordar el contenido de la obra, también alude la historia del recinto. Esta actividad del Instituto Nacional de Bellas Artes y Literatura (INBAL), realizada en el marco del Día Internacional de los Museos, se llevó a cabo en colaboración con el Instituto Nacional de Lenguas Indígenas (INALI). “El proyecto abordó los temas que ofrecemos durante nuestras visitas tradicionales, sólo que en náhuatl. Se habló sobre la historia del mural y de los personajes que aparecen, que fueron protagonistas de la historia de nuestro país. Este es un recorrido no sólo de acercamiento a la obra de Rivera, sino, particularmente, a la diversidad cultural que existe en el país”, señaló en entrevista Marisol Argüelles, directora del recinto. “El mural concentra varias etapas de la historia de México. Se explica el momento histórico, quiénes son los personajes, el papel de éstos dentro de la historia y de la composición pictórica y se alude a algunas reflexiones que el artista hace a través de su obra.

  • Más Que Una Plaza, Mi Casa
    TextosDeLaCasa #86 arkeopatias.wordpress.com 22 de febrero de 2016 MÁS QUE UNA PLAZA, MI CASA Astrid Nayelly Cortés Torres Vivir en la Ciudad de México no es fácil, cada día se vive una aventura diferente en el transporte público y privado, hay que esquivar ambulantes y aglomeraciones, trazar nuevas rutas evitando perderse en el intento, y cargando lo indispensable por si se es víctima de la delincuencia. Todo esto para llegar al trabajo, la escuela y la casa; pero ¿qué pasa cuando el trabajo, la escuela y la casa están en el mismo sitio, a unas cuantas calles?, a esto y más nos enfrentamos los habitantes del Centro Histórico de la Ciudad de México, que, aunque a muchos les sorprenda, el Centro Histórico no sólo es un lugar de comercio y diversión, también es el hogar de muchas personas. Pero antes de hablar el día a día que se vive en este sitio, es importante mencionar algunos datos. El 11 de Abril de 1980 se emitió la declaratoria federal sobre el límite geográfico de la Ciudad en el siglo XIX, correspondiente a 1,000 hectáreas, y se denominó como Centro Histórico de la Ciudad de México. Esta declaratoria estuvo vinculada a las excavaciones arqueológicas de Templo Mayor en 1978 y detonó en las primeras acciones de atención a la conservación en el sitio[1]. En esta declaratoria adquiere el nombre de “ciudad suspendida en el tiempo” como estrategia de conservación. En 1985 tras el sismo de 8.1 grados en escala de Richter que afecto a la ciudad, hubo gran impacto en el Centro Histórico, resultando en la implementación de un plan de emergencia para la reconstrucción de viviendas y retiro de escombro, resultando en una nueva configuración urbana.

  • Dear All, Thank You So Much for Taking the Time to Read This Early Draft Of
    Dear all, Thank you so much for taking the time to read this early draft of what I hope to turn into the fifth chapter of my dissertation. My dissertation analyzes the ways in which the political role of artists and cultural institutions in Mexico have changed in the wake of a series of political and socio-economic transformations commonly referred to as the country’s “twin” neoliberal and democratic transition. This chapter is a direct continuation of the previous one, in which I analyze the way the state directly commissioned and deployed art during the official bicentennial commemorations of Independence and the centennial commemorations of Revolution in 2010. In this chapter, my goal is to contrast these official commemorations with the way members of the artistic community itself engaged critically in the commemorative events and, by extension, with the state. I am testing many of the arguments here, as well as the structure of the chapter, and I am looking forward to any suggestions, including the use of theory to sustain my arguments. To situate this chapter, I am pasting below a one-paragraph contextual introduction from the previous chapter: 2010 was one of the most violent years in Mexico’s recent history. The drug war launched by president Felipe Calderón a few years earlier was linked to over fifteen thousand homicides, and the visual and media landscape was saturated with gruesome images of the drug war’s casualties. That same year, Mexico commemorated two hundred years of independence and one hundred years of revolution. But despite the spectacular (and expensive) attempts to make the state’s power highly visible, the celebrations were marked by public indifference, resistance, and even outright hostility, and fell far from being an innocent expression of collective festivity.

Los estudios que hay acerca de Angelina Beloff se han centrado bajo la sombra de Diego Rivera, con quien tuvo una relación de diez años. Por consiguiente, la investigación está encaminada a tener un acercamiento más crítico a su obra y a su desempeño laboral en Europa y en México del siglo XX. La presente investigación busca rescatar a Beloff dentro del contexto de los artistas mexicanos de la época. Sin hacer un recuento biográfico, toma como referencia diversos textos que la mencionan, para sustentar y debatir junto con los que han excluido la figura de Beloff dentro de la historiografía mexicana. Asimismo explica por qué es relevante estudiar a esta artista extranjera que decidió vivir en nuestro país junto con otras figuras del medio artístico contemporáneo. Palabras clave: Angelina Beloff, extranjera, arte mexicano, exclusión, historiografía. Abstract: Why study Angelina Beloff? What relationship does she has with the Mexican context? Studies about Angelina Beloff have been centered under Diego Rivera's shadow, with whom she had a relationship for ten years. Therefore, the investigation is driven to have a more critical close up to her art work and her job performance in Europe and Mexico during the Twentieth Century.

  • The Reconstruction of Colonial Monuments in the 1920S and 1930S in Mexico ELSA ARROYO and SANDRA ZETINA
    The reconstruction of Colonial monuments in the 1920s and 1930s in Mexico ELSA ARROYO AND SANDRA ZETINA Translation by Valerie Magar Abstract This article presents an overview of the criteria and policies for the reconstruction of historical monuments from the viceregal period in Mexico, through the review of paradigmatic cases which contributed to the establishment of practices and guidelines developed since the 1920s, and that were extended at least until the middle of the last century. It addresses the conformation of the legal framework that gave rise to the guidelines for the protection and safeguard of built heritage, as well as the context of reassessment of the historical legacy through systematic studies of representative examples of Baroque art and its ornamental components, considered in a first moment as emblematic of Mexico’s cultural identity. Based on case studies, issues related to the level of reconstruction of buildings are discussed, as well as the ideas at that time on the historical value of monuments and their function; and finally, it presents the results of the interventions in terms of their ability to maintain monuments as effective devices for the evocation of the past through the preservation of its material remains. Keywords: reconstruction, viceregal heritage, neo-Colonial heritage Background: the first piece of legislation on monuments as property of the Mexican nation While the renovation process of the Museo Nacional was taking place in 1864 during the Second Empire (1863-1867) under the government of the Emperor Maximilian of Habsburg, social awareness grew about the value of objects and monuments of the past, as well as on their function as public elements capable of adding their share in the construction of the identity of the modern nation that the government intended to build in Mexico.
