That’s where the problem and the interest of everyone involved is “Echeverria said in an interview with Informer .
During the talk, the gallery owner lamented that people are straying from the original goal of the project: “Everyone is going on the side of the Catholic relic, which also goes against Catholicism itself that says that you are dust and you will become powder; teaching here is that the body should not matter once you die, but hey, the church somehow gave the character of relic bones. However, the important thing is to answer: Why is there a lady with a colonialist role in Switzerland who is deciding what we do have and what you do not have to say a Mexican architect? What is sought with all this talk about forms of power, public access and copyright artistic legacy environment, “the gallery owner.
Chronicle of a ring announced

In 2015 the exhumation of the ashes of Barragan was conducted with the approval of the family and the Jalisco authorities. It was carried out making diamond; same that he was offered to Mrs. Stilt and rejected by it. Now this piece is part of an exhibition at the Kunst Halle Sankt Gallen in Switzerland, where it will remain until August 21 and then be taken to the San Francisco Art Institute where it will be exposed permanently from November.
No v back
In addition to answering the question Magid, another objective of the project was to give back to Mexico files professional architect, whose owner is Federica Stilt, who has them in Switzerland within the Barragan Foundation, which she created. To achieve his mother Jill -within project designed his second act entitled “proposal” whose central axis was precisely the development of the ring. The idea was to exchange the jewel in the documents.
At this point, the director insists LABOR noted that Jill has not obtained a final response Stilt; however, The New Yorker published the same Federica expressed fears for the integrity of the file in the hands of Mexican institutions and Barragan become a “Frida Kahlo architecture” by mercadológico use of the image of the architect.
