THE PROPOSAL
In an attempt to resurrect Barragán's life and art, boundary redefining artist Jill Magid creates a daring proposition that becomes a fascinating artwork in itself - a high-wire act of negotiation that explores how far an artist will go to democratize access to art.

Exploring the politics behind architectural heritage and conservation and the notion that the state acts as the custodian of culture, ‘The Tower of a Forgotten India’ follows the story of ‘The Architect’, a man desperately trying to save the nation’s past.
BAB SEBTA
Bab Sebta is a series of reconstructions of situations observed in Ceuta, a Spanish enclave on Moroccan soil. This place is the scene of a traffic of manufactured goods and sold at a discount. Thousands of people work there every day.

Known as “the artist among architects”, Luis Barragán is among the world’s most celebrated architects of the 20th century. Upon his death in 1988, much of his work was locked away in a Swiss bunker, hidden from the world’s view. In an attempt to resurrect Barragán's life and art, boundary redefining artist Jill Magid creates a daring proposition that becomes a fascinating artwork in itself - a high-wire act of negotiation that explores how far an artist will go to democratize access to art.
