First published in 2015, Guía Goeritz brings together more than forty public works by Mathias Goeritz in Mexico. In 2026, Proyectos Públicos and Arquine give the publication new life with a second edition marking the relocation of the monumental sculpture Los amantes (1958) to the public square at Atlantis in Mexico City. Edited by David Miranda and Christian del Castillo, the guide offers a fresh opportunity to explore the relationship between art, architecture and the city. Through texts and photographs, it traces Goeritz's legacy and the imprint his work has left on public space. The edition was produced with the support of Goethe-Institut Mexiko, with whom Proyectos Públicos builds connections through culture and collaboration.

This talk explores how Mathias Goeritz revisited and transformed the Bauhaus's teaching principles after arriving in Guadalajara, bringing sensitivity, emotion and rational thought into art education. Drawing on the ideas of Johannes Itten, László Moholy-Nagy and György Kepes, it examines the development of his understanding of art as a service to society. It also considers his relationship with Romualdo de la Cruz and the creation of the first version of Los amantes (1950). Finally, the talk explores how these experiences led to emotional architecture and an artistic practice directed towards collective and spiritual ends.
