Together Apart, 1a BienalSur, Cúcuta, Colombia, 2017
museography, production and technical direction: malinche*productions



Pablo Helguera, Las Ruinas del Libertador, recinto Ex Teresa, Cúcuta, Colombia, 2017


Proclaimed as artistic response to the humanitarian crisis at the Colombian-Venezuelan border, including 40+ international and regional artists at 5+ venues across the city center (+ conferences, workshops, film-program) the project formed part of the 1. edition of BienalSur, a new Biennial developed in and focused on Latin America.


 Although an exhibition without precedence for Cúcuta, Colombia falls in place, a hoax is probably what best describes Juntos Aparte/Together Apart.

The Pavilion of Reflections
Manifesta 11, what people do for money
Zürich, Switzerland, 2016





Pavillon of Refections, Manifesta 10, lake Zürich near Bellevue, 2016
                                 

In June 2015 first considerations arise, that Manifesta 11 might become a show which is `scattered´, as much conceptually as in sense of territory, requiring a heart piece, ideally located in the center of the city, which is physically the lake.
In response and in collaboration with the studio Tom Emerson, ETHZürich,  the Pavilion of Reflection is developed as central hub, meeting point, open-air art cinema, bar/restaurant, and public bath.

*170t wood and steel,  600qm, capacity 400 visitors, 28sqm day-light led screen
*designed and partially build by students of Studio Tom Emerson, ETH Zürich under coordination of Boris Gusic and Adi Heusser.
* program: 28 films ( +- 10 min each) on the development of the new comissions are being produced and directed by film students of Zürich art faculty, ZHDK.
