"The singularity is to celebrate Luis Barragán inside one of Barragán's own masterpieces. This exhibition centers on the evolution of his work, from modern great buildings to his own particular language. The exhibition traces how Barragán constructed a personal vocabulary from vernacular traditions, sacred art, landscape design, and modern principles."
"Barragán en Barragán focuses on more than ten of Barragán's projects, including Casa Gálvez, the Casa-Estudio Barragán, the Convent of the Capuchinas, and La Cuadra itself. The exhibition features scale models and archival photographs by figures such as Yukio Futagawa, René Burri, and Armando Salas Portugal, the latter a close collaborator who helped articulate Barragán's distinctive use of color and atmosphere."
La Cuadra, the 1968 equestrian complex designed by Luis Barragán on Mexico City's outskirts, has reopened as a public cultural campus under Fernando Romero's direction. The reopening coincides with Mexico City Art Week 2026 and features two inaugural exhibitions. Barragán en Barragán, curated by architect Jorge Covarrubias, is the first exhibition about Barragán presented inside one of his own buildings. It showcases over ten of his projects including Casa Gálvez, Casa-Estudio Barragán, and the Convent of the Capuchinas, featuring scale models and archival photographs by renowned photographers. The exhibition contextualizes Barragán's work within his cultural network, including artists like Chucho Reyes and Doctor Atl. A parallel exhibition presents works by Cuban-born American visual artist Felix Gonzalez-Torres.
