Reclaiming the public space
La recuperación del espacio público busca cultivar y fortalecer las relaciones con las comunidades a través del arte. Impulsando la interacción con la obra plástica, se fortalece a la sociedad y sus espacios de convivencia, ya que se generan espacios de diálogo, reflexión en torno al arte, la sociedad y sus problemáticas.
The Jorge Marin Foundation develops high social impact activities, particularly for populations in vulnerable situations. Through interaction with art, we highlight and stimulate reflection regarding the importance of reclaiming public space to create a sense of community and belonging.
The general public, of all ages and origins, who are open to the art of our time. We create safe spaces in which people feel welcome and intellectually stimulated.
We set up temporary and permanent exhibitions, during which direct communication with the public is initiated through a variety of activities (workshops, contests, and talks). We
encourage the public to approach contemporary art from their own experience and take advantage of the introspective process created by such contact with art.
The Jorge Marin Foundations is committed to the need to reclaim and enjoy public space for the common good. Public spaces are essential for the development of social infrastructure, understood as spaces and organizations that promote a community spirit, while fostering interaction, developing citizen identity, and increasing a sense of belonging and appropriation. Such spaces also contribute to fostering community care and respect for an area that contains and protects the community.
Anywhere that a public work of Jorge Marin can be found. We seek to use the dynamics created by public art to benefit daily life, by developing interactions that strengthen the social fabric. Such interactions range from rehabilitating shared spaces, to encouraging conversations and reflections on art and society, and the challenges it faces.
