Book Launch and Chat for Projections: Exhibiting the Hidden

“If we were to think of the exhibition space as a space station, everything orbiting around it—probes, stars and planets, human or extraterrestrial constructions, mechanical or natural entities, inert or alive—would constantly form new constellations of seemingly distant elements, held together by invisible forces that are now visible through our small projection device, from a distant corner in the north of Mexico City.”

Join Head Hi and Proyector, a curatorial platform based in Mexico City, for the release of Projections: Exhibiting the Hidden a new book that documents their projects promoting emerging voices in architecture research over its first five years of operation. The book unfolds the process and wide range of themes and phenomena they have addressed, representing the contemporary concerns of a new generation of architects, researchers, artists and practitioners and its disciplinary shifts. The book explores the peripheral condition —geographic and disciplinary— of these practices, delving into the exhibition, curatorship, small spaces, the archive and collective work, as devices that support the proliferation of expanded, experimental and critical practices in architecture.

Meet the Proyector founders. See what they are up to in Mexico City! Celebrate small, independent organizations focusing on the understanding of architecture.
