For more than a decade the Mexico City-based artist, architect, and
cultural agent Pedro Reyes has been turning existing social
problems into opportunities for effecting tangible change through
collective imagination. By breaking open failed models and
retooling them with space to project alternatives, Reyes's art
enables productive diversions of otherwise destructive forces. Ad
Usum: To Be Used is the second volume in the series Focus on Latin
American Art and Agency, which is dedicated to contemporary
cultural agents, a term that is perhaps best understood through the
words of Reyes himself: "changing our individual habits has no
degree of effectiveness" as "progress is only significant if you
start to multiply by 10, by 100, by 1,000." Rather than merely
illustrate his work, this collection of images, interviews, and
critical essays is intended as an apparatus for multiplying the
possibilities when art becomes a resource for the common good. This
full-color illustrated survey of Reyes's projects includes critical
essays by Jose Luis Falconi, Robin Greeley, Johan Hartle, Adam
Kleinman, and Doris Sommer, as well as interviews between the
artist and such seminal thinkers as Lauren Berlant, Michael Hardt,
Alejandro Jodorowsky, and Antanas Mockus.
