Breve resumen del registro en video de “Tierra que migra”, pieza que participó en “Estiramientos” exposición final del Programa Educativo Soma (2020-2022).

Realicé esta pieza junto a mi padre, Roberto.

“Tierra que migra” es una instalación conformada por un piso compuesto por ocho toneladas de tierra. Este material proviene de la demolición de un muro de adobe en Cholula, Puebla (MX), erigido hace más de un siglo, el cual contiene tepalcates y otros residuos de más de dos mil años de antigüedad.

Sifting The Blue — Art Tonic 2026

@oscarformacio

The Language of the Mountain is a project that emerges from the observation and collection of materials that invite us to imagine the ebb and flow of the processes that shape the multiple eco-politics of materials. These materials are presented as overlapping and in contact with one another, forming a rhythmic and noisy composition that establishes a formal relationship with the landscape from which they originate. Based on these relationships, the project questions notions of development, modernity, and comfort by constructing landscapes of waste and remnants. The project employs objects found on-site, local materials, and photographs taken in the area. In particular, the pieces *Ixtle* and *Quiote* explore two ways of understanding life and death through the maguey, a plant native to Mexico that also grows in this region. Both pieces reflect on the processes of speculation and commodification of the maguey—understood as both a material and symbolic asset—and on the way this plant is integrated into contemporary real estate markets. By placing these relationships in dialogue with the landscape, they play with the symbolism of materialities and the tensions between the site’s ecological processes and the transformations of the territory. taken in Port Tonic Art Center - Golfe de St Tropez by @oscarformacio

Sifting the Blue begins with an act of attention. Blue becomes depth and distance, sea and sky, horizon and reflection: an unstable space in which forms emerge, disappear, and transform.
Developed during a residency at Port Tonic Art Center, the exhibition explores the landscape as both a natural environment and a site shaped by labour, movement, extraction, and memory. Fragments found within it—shells, stones, residues, discarded objects, and fading images—become traces connecting personal experience with ecological, political, and historical narratives.
Through distinct practices, Gabriele Carrera, Jon Cuyson, and Oscar Formacio approach images, materials, and landscapes as living processes rather than finished objects. Their works gather different forces, encounters, and temporalities, carrying Port Tonic not as a fixed representation, but as a network of traces, relations, and transformations. @jon_cuyson @gabriele_carrera_ @oscarformacio taken in Port Tonic Art Center - Golfe de St Tropez by @oscarformacio

SIFTING THE BLUE — ART TONIC 2026
Opening 16 Juillet from 7pm

OSCAR FORMACIO (1989, Cholula, Mexico) is an artist, researcher, and cultural manager. His work is grounded in the microhistories of his place of origin: the Indigenous community of San Andrés Cholula (Puebla, Mexico). Through these narrative keys, he investigates the relationships between circular history and the ecopolitical dimension of materials and territory. In his research, he seeks to construct—through listening and dialogue with materials, places, and people—a narrative connected to the territories and memories of a given context, thereby establishing a poetic and political relationship with the site of investigation. This process has led him to explore moving images, sculpture, sound, and installation. For this reason, most of his projects have a site-specific character. In 2017, he founded Error, an independent art space that he continues to direct, currently in collaboration with Nina Fiocco. He co-produced and curated the following Error projects: *Cauces* (sponsored by PAC, Jumex, IMACP, PECDA, and C5 - Ccemx), Escucharlacalle (sponsored by Pecda, Pac, and Jumex), De Retache (sponsored by Pac), Working Tongues (12–14 Vienna), and Lenguas Hermanas (Italian Embassy and Italian Cultural Institute). He was awarded national scholarships in Mexico for studies abroad. He received national awards (Encuentro de Arte Joven—2019 and Bienal Barco 2023). He was a member of the Nodos Puebla PAC SITAC committee in 2019. In 2018, he was awarded a residency through the UDLAP-CASA program, created by Francisco Toledo. In 2016, he won CENART’s PAPIAM award in the research category. His work has been exhibited at La Rada in Locarno, Switzerland; Gemainde Köln in Germany; the Museo di Grotaglie in Italy; Dos Mareas in France; White Cube in New York; and most recently at Casa de los Artistas in Milan, Italy. He currently lives and works between Mexico City and Milan.

🌱 𝐇𝐮𝐦𝐮𝐬 𝐢𝐧𝐯𝐢𝐭𝐚 - 𝐎𝐬𝐜𝐚𝐫 𝐅𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐜𝐢𝐨

Per questo nuovo incontro di Humus Invita, l’artista messicano Óscar Formacio presenta 𝐈𝐦𝐚𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐫 𝐒𝐞𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐚𝐬, un’azione artistica e partecipativa pensata in dialogo con l’𝐀𝐧𝐠𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐫𝐚 𝐃𝐚 𝐆𝐢𝐨𝐯𝐚𝐧𝐧𝐢, l’ultima anguriara storica di Padova.

A partire da un gesto semplice e quotidiano – condividere un’anguria – Imaginar Semillas apre una riflessione sullo spazio popolare come luogo di relazione, convivenza e costruzione della comunità. Un invito a interrogarsi su come i nostri corpi, le memorie, i gesti e le pratiche quotidiane contribuiscano a mantenere vivi questi luoghi, a generare nuove relazioni e a trasmetterne il significato nel tempo.

Nel corso dell’incontro, i semi dell’anguria diventeranno il punto di partenza per raccogliere storie, memorie e possibilità. Vi invitiamo a prendere parte a questa costellazione di esperienze, da cui nascerà un gesto collettivo, capace di rendere visibili le connessioni che legano persone, luoghi e immaginari.

📍 Anguriara Da Giovanni – Porta Savonarola, Padova
📅 Venerdì 24 luglio
🕢 Ore 19.30

L’evento è gratuito, aperto a tutte e tutti, e una fetta di anguria sarà offerta ad ogni partecipante.
I posti sono limitati ed è richiesta la prenotazione: inviateci un messaggio privato per riservare il vostro posto.

La lingua dell’incontro sarà l’italiano, con qualche incursione messicana 🇲🇽 taken in Padova Centro by @oscarformacio
