“ALTER EGO” | Christian Magaldi Architecture Studio
It’s Cruz de Mayo guey!
Say what?
No building activity today…
Magaldi’s recent migration to one of Miami Downtown’s most beloved buildings (The Huntington Building) had to be celebrated in fresh style. What better way to inject vibrant energy into the space than with a color filled tapebomb installation?
We chose today (May 3rd) for its symbolic meaning in Mexican culture: the Cruz de Mayo holiday. The Fiesta de las Cruces is celebrated in Mexico mainly by guilds and unions involved in construction. A cross is adorned with flowers and paper is placed in a high position on a building in the process of construction. The workers then celebrate with local cuisine and alcoholic beverages such as tequila, mezcal and local beer.
No cross with paper was adorned here, just a promising space with colored tapes.
“DO | UNDO” - Impromptu tapebombing session
Moi: HOLY NUDITY! I MUST tampebomb ze house!
Enabler: (Wheels screeching).
Moi: Do you think..?
Enabler: Allow me, mademoiselle! … Excuse me dreadlocked friend, ici la tapebomber extraordinaire.
Dreadlocked (de)construction guy: chomp, chomp! - (he was having lunch) - Can I see?
Moi: I’ll do whilst you undo.
Moral of this fable: Do unto others as you would have them undo to you.
SAY WHAT?!
Extreme Tapebombing I went to receive the promising month of March. The third month of the orbit has proven to be life changing in one way or another, so why not give it a little push and descend into it at daredevil speed this time?
Doing what only makes sense to you is much more gratifying when you have a bunch of enablers around. You manifest your need for more, they offer adrenaline in a silver platter, you say bien sûr!, you wrap yourself in color, people look as though you’re not from around there, a nice British gentleman makes sure all those colors don’t get squashed into the land below, you fly up and you take the most sublime leap of your life. That is art!
Welcome March.
