The Piñatarama

Among contemporary character design and popular tradition.
Surprise, game, design and tradition are some of the pillars of this exhibition. Piñatarama for letting us be surprised by the unexpected result of the interpretation by Mexican artisans of these 25 characters, created by designers and illustrators from around the world. Thus providing a special facility where the designer  pinatas  reflect this aspect of contemporary concoctions, juxtaposition and appropriation of an object culturally rooted in Mexico and elsewhere in Latin America.The pinata is associated with the Latino culture, but historians point to Asia (especially China) as its actual point of origin. It is assumed that the famous traveler Marco Polo’s visit to that nation, he saw how the Chinese created colorful animal figures covered with paper, which is hung with ornaments, and were used in the New Year celebrations. As a good observer, Polo brought Europe the idea of these early piñatas. Although housed in various regions of their religious significance, today, the piñata is considered a symbol of fun and entertainment.

Piñatarama is a joint project of Cecilia Meade, David Gamez and Vertigo Gallery.

Entre el diseño contemporáneo de personajes y la tradición popular.

Sorpresa, juego, diseño y tradición son algunos de los ejes de esta exposición.Piñatarama busca dejarnos sorprender por el inesperado resultado de la interpretación de parte de artesanos mexicanos de estos 25 personajes, creados por diseñadores e ilustradores de diferentes partes del mundo. Brindando de esta manera una particular instalación donde las piñatas “de diseño” reflejen este aspecto contemporáneo de mixturas, yuxtaposición y de apropiación de un objeto culturalmente arraigado tanto en México como en el resto de Latinoamérica.

La piñata está asociada a la cultura latina, aunque los historiadores señalan a Asia (particularmente a China) como su punto real de origen. Se supone que el famoso viajero Marco Polo, en su visita a esa nación, vio cómo los chinos creaban coloridas figuras de animales cubiertas con papel, las cuales se colgaban con arreos, y se usaban en las celebraciones del Año Nuevo. Como buen observador, Polo llevó a Europa la idea de esas primeras piñatas. Aunque conserva en diversas regiones su significación religiosa, en la actualidad, la piñata se considera un símbolo de diversión y entretenimiento.

Piñatarama es un proyecto conjunto de Cecilia Meade, David Gamez y Vértigo Galería.

After watching Jackie Phelps and Jimmie Riddle do their Hee Haw act (
which is that one hums while the other slap his leg doing the rhythmic part and ends with this strange sound made by his hands ) .
