At This Architectural Gem, an Artist Was Present. Horses, Too.
Briefly

Marina Abramovic's recent performance art event in Mexico City showcased her unique approach to art, merging it with architecture at the Barragan-designed Cuadra San Cristobal. The highly anticipated event, amidst an extravagant Mexico City Art Week, saw Abramovic presenting a manifesto emphasizing the role of conflict in artistry. The prominent locale will evolve into a cultural center, La Cuadra, further fostering creative expression. Amidst this, a performance highlighted the whimsical nature of art, turning even the lunch menu into a melodic experience, all while emphasizing the significance of art as 'oxygen' for life.
Abramovic emphasized, "An artist should have enemies. Enemies are very important; An artist should die consciously, without fear; Don't forget we have art, and art is oxygen."
The horses began to trot around Abramovic and Leon de la Barra, while she sat on a platform in front of Barragan's iconic wall, reading her manifesto.
