Take Care of Yourself
El año pasado ví esta exhibición de la artista francesa Sophie Calle en el Museo Tamayo en la Ciudad de México y quedé fascinada. La historia es esta: en un correo de despedida el entonces novio de Sophie le escribe para terminar y lo último que le dice es: “take care of yourself“, a lo que ella dice: “¿eh?, ¿qué significa eso de cuídate?“ y le dio la carta a 107 mujeres artistas para que analizaran, cantaran e interpretaran por ella. Al final el proyecto se convirtió en un libro y una exhibición que ha viajado por el mundo y dice que crear esto se convirtió en una manera de cuidarse a ella misma. ¡Aplausos! La carta completa la encuentran aquí.
Last year I saw this exhibition by french artist Sophie Calle at Museo Tamayo in Mexico City and fell in love with it. This is the story: one day Sophie received a break up letter and the last line said “take care of yourself“, to which she said: “what the heck does that even mean!?“ and gave the letter to 107 female artists to analize, understand and interpret it for her. This project eventually became a book and an exhibition that has traveled around the world. Which is funny is this indeed became a way of taking care of herself. Applause to her! The full letter is available here.
