¿Puede haber un jardín sin secreto? Pensemos en un espacio para ordenar el mundo contra la fuerza amenazadora, salvaje y desconocida de la naturaleza.En esta publicación, Graciela Silvestri, Luis Felipe Fabre, Santiago Beruete y Magnolia de la Garza nos guían para tender puentes entre naturaleza y estética. ¿Es el jardín el primero de los museos?A lo largo de este recorrido, se van develando piezas comunes entre jardín y paisaje, sus orígenes y sus motivos a lo largo del tiempo, y los vínculos sensoriales y simbólicos compartidos, en esta ocasión, con el arte contemporáneo. Asimismo, se dialoga sobre los ideales éticos, estéticos y políticos de los jardines. ¿Es un paisaje un autorretrato?“La ilusión de un mundo mejor, disfrutable por todos, no ha abandonado la imaginación y sigue inspirada por ese paraíso jardinero en que la belleza de las flores, con su promesa de fertilidad, se asocia con las artes que han buscado comprender su secreto. Tal vez la clave de la belleza se encuentre en la vida de las plantas” _ Graciela Silvestri.“El mejor jardín es aquel que transforma el ojo en oído, las vistas en música y la belleza de las plantaciones en medicina del alma”_ Santiago Beruete.Esta publicación se realiza con motivo de la exposición de nombre homónimo que se desarrolla en el Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de Monterrey (MARCO) entre octubre de 2023 y febrero de 2024 con una selección de obras del acervo de la Colección Isabel y Agustín Coppel.Entre los artistas representados están Ansel Adams, Francis Alÿs, Iván Argote, John Baldessari, Joseph Cornell, Tacita Dean, Anselm Kiefer, Richard Long, Ana Mendieta, Tina Modotti, Gabriel Orozco, Hiroshi Sugimoto o Sofía Táboas, entre otros muchos.

Adelaida trabaja como anticuaria, tiene un marido más joven que ella con el que está en crisis, una madre cómplice y sabia a pesar de un principio de arterioesclerosis, y cuatro amigas de verdad, que, como ella, atraviesan la crisis de los cincuenta. ¿Crisis? De hecho, parece que nunca se han divertido tanto. En sus encuentros (casi siempre en un restaurante chino) intercambian las más indecibles confidencias sexuales, y se permite al lector escuchar a escondidas y así conocer, en los detalles más bochornosos, las aventuras y desventuras eróticas de Adelaide, Benedetta, Tonia, Rosaria y Martina. Cinco mujeres muy diferentes entre sí pero unidas por dos cosas: una visión ahora desencantada de la vida y, al mismo tiempo, un gran deseo de vivirla plenamente. Incluso a pesar de la edad avanzada. Nos reímos mucho, a sus espaldas y las de sus parejas, tan torpes como para despertar ternura. Pero entre una sonrisa y una carcajada también pasa a reflexionar sobre el eterno conflicto de las relaciones entre los sexos y sobre el valor indestructible de la amistad. Una advertencia: abstenerse puritanos y personas sensibles. Mantener fuera del alcance de los niños.

Las reflexivas y desenfadadas crónicas de una familia extensa puestas en escena siguiendo el guión de un despistado intelectual y moral de cabaret. Una saga que se desarrolla en una serie de bocetos irreverentes. El léxico familiar de judíos fanáticos, católicos conversos, ateos cínicos. La matriarca de 90 años es la abuela Sara, una ansiosa belicista que vive en Israel y llama constantemente. Su interlocutor favorito es Saretta, la más joven de los nietos, astuta y audaz, dulce e impredecible, un cruce entre Franny Glass y Giovanna D'Arco. Luego están sus hermanos: el mayor, Isaac, un genio de las matemáticas y epistemólogo en formación, y Davide, un maníaco sexual y hincha compulsivo de la Juventus. El tío, el narrador, Paolo. El gato Héctor. El padre: ausente. Abandonó a Ester, la prima de Paolo, cuando Saretta tenía dos años. El tío se ve obligado, a su pesar, a ocupar su lugar, sobre todo por teléfono. Desde allí trata de educar a los niños, da consejos, responde preguntas surrealistas, se escapa. Es neurótico, hipocondríaco e inmaduro como ellos, un viejo adolescente, un puer aeternus y anquilosado al que sus nietos han elegido para el liderazgo chamánico, salvo para burlarse de su inmadurez. Es el idiota sabio, temeroso y tentado por el papel de pater familias. En el contexto del romanismo contemporáneo y burlándose de su propia imaginería psicoanalítica, Paolo Repetti escribe su novela familiar. El encuentro y el choque entre generaciones, la ausencia e indolencia de los padres, la inteligencia de los hijos.
