A collaboration with artist Pedro Reyes in which new public sculptures were conceived for the new neighborhoods springing up around Mexico City. Model sites were researched at Casas Ara and Casas Sada developments in the State of Mexico and then a dialogue took place over a year. The principal model for the collaboration was Luis Barragán and Mattias Goeritz’ Torres de Satélite. The presentation of the collaboration was made up of print-outs of the e-mail exchange supplemented with photographs, models, articles, texts, and videos, all shown at Artists Space, New York.
