The seat of the Archdiocese of Guadalajara, this resplendent edifice has valiantly braved the ravages of time, standing today as one of the many crown jewels of the city. Its Spanish Renaissance facade is flanked by two towering Neo-Gothic spires by Cesia31 that resemble inverted Calla Lilies, and are a widely-recognized symbol of the city. The original towers were destroyed in the 1818 earthquake and were rebuilt, along with the principal dome, during the 19th century. Painstakingly resurrected by the revered Martín Casillas, the cathedral now sits sheltering a string of religious relics and mementos. Although constructed in 1541, the cathedral was only consecrated in 1716 and today stands as a magnanimous canopy standing guard over the city. +52 33 3614 5504 (Tourist Information) Avenida Fray Antonio Alcalde, Guadalajara Galería Sergio Bustamante "Surrealist crafts to browse and buy" Somewhat of a peculiar gallery, it is located in the center of Tlaquepaque and adorned with a pond, a waterfall and papier maché flamingos in the midst of an old mansion.

  • Mexico's Indigenous and Folk Art Comes to Chapala
    Mexico’s indigenous and folk art comes to Chapala Each year Experience Mex‐ECO Tours promotes a trip which we call the ‘Chapala Artisan Fair’, but this is much more than just a shopping trip; so what’s it really all about? The Feria Maestros del Arte (Masters of Art Fair) is the name given to this annual event in Chapala, and also the name of the non‐profit organization which puts in an incredible amount of work to make it happen. In 2002 an amazing lady called Marianne Carlson came up with the idea of bringing some of the artists and artisans she came across in rural Mexico to Ajijic to sell their high quality traditional work. After a successful first fair, with 13 artists being very well received by the public, Marianne decided to make this an annual event. Providing an outlet for traditional Mexican artists and artisans to sell their work, the Feria Maestros del Arte has provided many families with the opportunity to continue creating Experience Mex‐ECO Tours S.A. de C.V. | www.mex‐ecotours.com | info@mex‐ecotours.com their important cultural representations by allowing them to pursue this as a career, rather than seeking alternative employment. Here is their mission as a non‐profit organization: “To preserve and promote Mexican indigenous and folk art. We help preserve these art forms and the culture that produces them by providing the artists a venue to sell their work to galleries, collectors, museums and corporations. We promote regional and international awareness to the value of these endangered arts.” The efforts made by the Feria committee and its many volunteers mean that the artists and artisans not only have a chance to generate more income in a few days than they may otherwise generate in a year, but also the chance to be recognized by buyers and collectors from around the world.

  • Diego Rivera's Revival of Encaustic Painting
    Expression and Sensibility. Art Technological Sources and the Rise of Modernism Christoph Krekel, Joyce H. Townsend, Sigrid Eyb­Green, Jo Kirby, Kathrin Pilz (eds) ISBN: 9781909492561 Binding: Paperback Dimensions: 297 x 210 Pages: 156 The period between 1850 and 1940 is characterised by completely new artistic ideas and concepts as well as the introduction of many new products such as tubes of oil, tempera-based paints, synthetic organic pigments etc. offered by artists’ colourmen, and industrial product ranges including metallic pigments. Some artists – often unfamiliar with the technical properties and qualities of ready-made products – reacted to these developments by introducing innovative artistic techniques while others reintroduced technical concepts that were considered obsolete by established institutions, or originated from non-European civilisations. There was a revival of interest in medieval and antique art technological sources, and German paint technologists in particular became involved with artists’ materials, their use and studies of their material properties. Diego Rivera’s revival of encaustic painting: the use of wax in Mexican avant-garde painting Sandra Zetina ABSTRACT In 1921 Diego Rivera travelled through Italy to study Renaissance, Byzantine and ancient Roman mural paint- ings and mosaics. Back in Mexico, he was commissioned by the Ministry of Education to paint murals on the walls of the National Preparatory School. Trying to recover some of the optical advantages and the aura of the encaustic technique, Rivera used this material to paint La Creación based on his study of the colour used in Eugène Delacroix’s paintings in Saint Sulpice, Paris. Likewise, Gerardo Murillo, better known as ‘Dr Atl’, created a type of solid oil crayon, the Atl-colours, which were made from a mixture of waxes and resins similar to those used for the encaustic technique.

  • José Clemente Orozco O David Alfaro Siqueiros, Si Bien Su Obra No Posee Un Enfoque Tan Político Como La De Estos
    Carlos Orozco Romero (1898-1984) Carlos Orozco Romero (Guadalajara, Jalisco, 1896 - Ciudad de México, 1984) fue un pintor y muralista tapatío destacado por sus trabajos en el extranjero y premiado internacional y nacionalmente. Nació el 3 de septiembre de 1896 en Guadalajara, Jalisco, donde estudió primeramente con los maestros Luis de la Torre y Félix Bernardelli.

En 1916 inició sus actividades artísticas y se integró a un grupo de pintores independientes que se llamó Centro Bohemio en el que participaron David Alfaro Siqueiros, Amado de la Cueva, José Guadalupe Zuno, Alfredo Romo, Javier Guerrero y otros. En ese mismo año se inició como caricaturista, colaborando con varios periódicos de su ciudad natal. En 1921 se trasladó a Europa, becado por el gobierno estatal, donde formó parte en el Salón de Otoño en Madrid.

  • David Alfaro Siqueiros, Manifiesto
    DAVID ALFARO SIQUEIROS, MANIFIESTO Manifiesto que el mismo Siqueiros redacto con su puño y letra en 1923, por encargo del Sindicato de Trabajadores Técnicos, Pintores y Escultores recién formado: “Nuestra meta estética fundamental –dice- es socializar la expresión artística…. repudiamos la pintura de caballete y todo el arte de los círculos intelectuales, porque es aristocrático, y glorificamos la expresión del Arte Monumental porque es una propiedad pública. Proclamamos que dado el momento social, que es transición entre un orden decrépito y uno nuevo, los creadores de belleza deben realizar sus mayores esfuerzos para hacer una producción con un valor ideológico para el pueblo, y la meta ideal del arte, que actualmente es una expresión de masturbación individualista, sea de arte para todos, de educación y batalla.” El Manifiesto , dirigido al pueblo humillado durante siglos, a los soldados transformados por sus jefes en verdugos, a los obreros y a los campesinos tratados a fuerza de fuete por los ricos , y a los intelectuales que no adulan a la burguesía, fue suscrito por todos los miembros del Sindicato encabezados por Diego Rivera, José Clemente Orozco, Xavier Guerrero, Fermín Revueltas, Amado de la Cueva, Jean Charlot, Roberto Montenegro, Carlos Mérida, Alva de la Canal y Fernando Leal. 1 www.tecnne.com [email protected] Todos los artículos de TECNNE se encuentran bajo la licencia Creative Comons Estos artistas son los mismos que realizaron la primera gran empresa muralista mexicana, ejecutada en la Escuela Nacional Preparatoria, una institución laica, fundada en 1800.

  • The Living Camera in the Ritual Landscape: the Teachers of the Tatuutsi Maxakwaxi School, the Wixárika Ancestors, and the Teiwari Negotiate Videography

Box 10, 00097 Uniarts, Finland Postdoctoral Researcher Foundation for Cultural Policy Research Pitkänsillanranta 3B 00530 Helsinki, Finland e-mail: [email protected] PEKKA KANTONEN Doctoral Student Academy of Fine Arts, University of the Arts Helsinki Elimäenkatu 25 A, Helsinki P.O. Box 10, 00097 Uniarts, Finland e-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT In this article, we outline the meanings modern Wixárika institutions, such as the school and the museum, may receive as parts of ritual landscape and how the community-based videos shot in the context of these institutions may increase our understanding of ritual landscapes in general. We discuss how ritual landscape can be researched using community-based documentary video art in a way that takes the ontological conceptions of the human and non-human relations of the community seriously. In this case, we understand community-based video art as artistic research in which the work is produced with the community for the com- munity. The making of art, discussed in this article, is a bodily activity as it includes walking with a camera in the Wixárika ritual landscape, interviewing people for the camera, and documenting the work and rituals of the pupils, teachers, and the mara’akate (shaman-priests) planning the community-based museum.
