Espíritu – Luis Barragán and Mathias Goeritz inspired papier-maché sculpture
About the Item
"Espíritu" is part of a series of sculptures that explores the ideas that fueled Luis Barragán architecture.
In 1976, during an interview with Elena Poniatowska, Barragán stated that his masterplan for El Pedregal would've only been possible due to the openness of Mexican culture, in terms of architecture, back in the 1970s: "considero a México el espíritu más contemporáneo del mundo" ("I consider Mexico the most contemporary spirit in the world"), he said.
The phrase acquires another dimension if we consider Barragán's conservative upbringing and his obsession with intimacy in architecture.
The sculpture abstracts Barragán's words in the style of his collaborations with Mathias Goeritz (namely the windows at the Capuchinas Sacramentarias Chapel in Tlalpan), and uses papier-maché, channeling the close relationship between Barragán and Chucho Reyes, who encouraged him to experiment with color through their passion for folk art.
