DESCRIPTION:Join us for lunch in The Ranch Café prior to the lecture from 11AM-12:30PM.  Pedro Reyes (b. 1972\, Mexico City)  studied architecture but considers himself a sculptor. Although his works integrate elements of theater\, psychology and activism. His work takes a variety of forms\, from penetrable sculptures (Cápulas\, 2002-08) to puppet productions (La Revolución Permanente\, 2014)\, (Fabricando travesuras\, 2018). In 2008\, Reyes initiated the ongoing Palas por Pistolas project in which 1\,527 guns were collected in Mexico through a voluntary donation campaign to produce the same number of shovels to plant 1\,527 trees. This led to Disarm (2012)\, where 6\,700 destroyed guns were transformed into a series of musical instruments. In 2011\, Reyes started Sanatorium\, a transient clinic offering brief unexpected treatments mixing art and psychology. Originally commissioned by the Guggenheim Museum\, New York\, Sanatorium has been in operation at Documenta 13\, Kassel (2012)\, Whitechapel Gallery\, London (2013)\, The Power Plant\, Toronto\, Canada (2014) and OCA\, São Paulo (2015) among 10 other venues. In 2013\, he presented the first edition of pUN: The People’s United Nations at the Queens Museum in New York. pUN is an experimental conference in which ordinary citizens act as delegates from each of the UN countries and try to apply techniques and resources from social psychology\, theater\, art and conflict resolution to geopolitics.
