The artists Abraham Cruzvillegas and Wendy Cabrera Rubio will establish a dialogue along with the curator and collector Patrick Charpenel around the concepts: the game, chance and accident. The conversation will establish connections between its practices and investigations, inviting us to reflect on the role played by the rules, instructions and procedures in contemporary art.
The conversation will take place in the context of Gabriel Orozco’s exhibition: National Polytechnic. The event will be moderated by Susana Solís García, education coordinator of the Jumex Museum.
