Temporal

de Antonio Bravo, Cristóbal Sarro, Núria Güell, Marwa Arsanios

"Rainfed agriculture is also an indicator of a certain form of time: a time of waiting, observing, patience, and a rhythm that must adapt to whatever natural conditions might arise. The project presented here is called Temporal. Residency Program, a collaboration between the Museo Universitario Arte Contemporáneo (MUAC) and the Museo Amparo, exhibited at both museums in 2018 and 2019, respectively. In this project, time and human adaptation to time, as part of the processes in question, have had a decisive influence on the results, which will probably exceed the specified timeframes. Temporal began with an invitation to four artists: Marwa Arsanios (Washington, D.C., 1978), Antonio Bravo (Mexico State, 1983), Núria Güell (Vidreres, Girona, 1981), and Cristóbal Sarro (Puebla, 1992), to conduct a residency around Mexico City or Puebla to produce a new piece of work. The project organically adapted to each artist's research process, which allowed us to modify the initial deadlines in hopes of positively shaping their evolution and formal results."--Page 15.
