	Polyforum Cultural Siqueiros - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It's a well-known location, both as part of the landmark WTC Mexico complex as well as for its unique shape and extensive mural work by mexican artist David Alfaro Siqueiros, for whom the building is named.
		The Polyforum was built as part of the Hotel de México complex in the 1960s, financed by Manuel Suárez y Suárez, who invited Siqueiros to design and decorate the building.
		Siqueiros came up with a dodecahedron-shaped structure for which he painted murals on most of its surfaces.

		Siqueiros has been in the works for years, so it was just a coincidence that it came on line right as Ortiz was coming on board.
		Siqueiros, born in Mexico in 1896, was one of los tres grandes -- the three great ones -- of modern art in Mexico (the other two being Diego Rivera and José Clemente Orozco).
		Siqueiros spent most of that decade in prison, where he continued to paint even though art supplies were hard to come by.

	La Tallera de Siqueiros
		The “Siqueiros Taller” (Siqueiro´s workshop), as it was originally known has several ships with different mechanical installations to move the panels, including a hole where the artist could lower the paintings to be worked without platforms that could be dangerous because the artist had felt seasickness over one of them.
		Siqueiro´s idea was to establish a workshop-school that instead of having professors and students it had teachers and apprentices.
		Siqueiros had legated to Mexico the plastic art pieces and his house, located at Tres Picos Street, number 29, at Mexico city and La Tallera in Cuernavaca.

		That we're active participants in the making of our own culture, and that this presupposes the idea that culture is a living thing, it's an unfolding thing, and that when we talk about art culture, we're talking about exploration and experimentation whichever direction we're moving in.
		That cultural connection is made from the conquest of nature -- and the Indian being seen as part of nature --to the establishment of the United States as an imperial power that conquered, that goes to conquer another sovereign nation.
		That is the ultimate cultural expression of our society, and that's why we're beginning to see the emergence of artists who are more about marketing than about creating their own work.
