EDITORIAL
Many of you might think that things only should be re-started from scratch when they weren’t done right from the start. I believe that starting over when something has been done well from the beginning, to double-check things to do it even better is a delight-ful exercise, and corny as it sounds, is magical. I think it is always of good fortune to have the opportunity to do great things twice.
Today LARMAGAZINE starts again, from the very beginning. As founder, I have learned a lot about editorial design, drafting, even translation; areas in which I have never been an expert, and never knew could be so much fun. This publication began as a resource to give a better promotion of our artists in LivingArtRoom.com. Four years ago I found a social network called ISSUU —a kind of YouTube that, instead of videos, offers millions of publications and magazines from around the world— which allowed me to reach more people than I would have with a printed version. I remember my face staring at the statistics of the second issue: it reached over 60,000 views within a few days of being launched. Without believing my eyes, I showed them to my husband and ask him to pinch me to see if I was just dreaming.
During these years, experts in different areas have joined the adventure and their collaboration has been invaluable. Judith Memun is one of them; she arrived in 2013 and contributed her incredible wit, talent and dedication, bringing us a new editorial design and giving new life to this project. After two issues of working together and seeing that the future of the Internet re- lies on tablets and iPads, we decided to partner and catapult LARMAGAZINE to a whole new level. Thanks to the interactivity that this technology allowed us, we created something that I am not sure we can call only a magazine: this is a much richer format

that lets us display information in ways that are just hard to be-lieve. I don’t know about you, but for me, it is really amazing.
That is why we could not keep inside the urge to get back, dust and reuse the best content from past editions, dig into the external hard drive to find videos and audios generated while articles were written and interviews were made, and use them now as com-plementary material. Starting today, our readers will have the op-portunity to click a button whenever they want to expand some information, or choose to listen, rather than read an interview. You can see a lot of videos of exhibitions that have taken place and are worth rescuing, among other things.
In this edition, we feature “Homeland” again, an investigation made by Gonzalo Ortega on migration and some vision of artists about this subject. At the same time, we present the portfolios of Horacio Quiroz, Alejandra España, Jimena Schlaepfer, Julio Pastor, Sofía Echeverri and Rodrigo Imaz. Also, we are featuring the re-commended exhibitions: Sophie Calle at MARCO Monterrey and María Fernanda Barrero at La Casa de la Cultura de Nuevo León. And one of the best music specials we have ever published: “Brief Encyclopedia of Noise” about Public Enemy, written by our be-loved editor Daniel Vega.
I hope you enjoy this issue as much as we did, and please do take as much as you can from the interactive power of this very renew-ed LARMAGAZINE.

Muchos pensarían que volver a empezar es algo que hay que ha-cer sólo cuando no se hicieron bien las cosas a la primera. Yo creo que volver a empezar algo que ha estado bien hecho desde el principio —revisar lo que está bien y hacerlo incluso mejor— es un ejercicio delicioso y aunque suene cursi, es mágico. Pienso que siempre es una fortuna tener la oportunidad de hacer bien las cosas dos veces.
Hoy LARMAGAZINE empieza de nuevo, vamos a volver a hacerla desde el principio. Como fundadora he aprendido muchísimo de diseño editorial, redacción, incluso traducción; áreas en las cuales nunca fui experta y jamás hubiera pensado que eran tan diverti-das. Esta publicación empezó como un recurso más para promo-ver mejor a los artistas de LivingArtRoom en internet. Hace cua-tro años encontré una red social llamada ISSUU, una especie de YouTube que en lugar de videos ofrece millones de publicaciones y revistas de todo el mundo, y que me permitió llegar a muchas más personas de las que hubiera alcanzado con una revista im-presa. Me acuerdo de mi cara al ver en las estadísticas que la se-gunda edición había alcanzado más de 60.000 vistas a los pocos días de haber sido lanzada. Incrédula se le mostraba a mi esposo para que me pellizcara por si acaso estaba soñando.
Durante estos años se han sumado personas expertas en diferen-tes áreas y su colaboración ha sido invaluable. Judith Memun es una de ellas, que llegó en 2013 y aportó con su increíble ingenio, talento y dedicación, un nuevo diseño editorial y su trabajo le dio una nueva vida al proyecto. Después de dos ediciones de traba-jar juntas y viendo que el futuro de Internet está en las tablets y iPads, decidimos asociarnos para llevar LARMAGAZINE a otro ni-vel. Gracias a la interactividad que ofrece esta tecnología, nos permite hacer algo que no estoy muy segura de llamar solamen-

te revista, pues es un formato mucho más rico que permite mos-trar la información a unos niveles que todavía me cuesta trabajo imaginar. Es realmente asombroso.
Por esta razón, no nos podíamos quedar con las ganas de sacar de nuevo los mejores contenidos de las ediciones pasadas, escarbar en el disco duro externo donde se guardan los materiales en video y audio que se fueron generando mientras se armaban los artícu-los y las entrevistas, y hacer uso de ellos. A partir de hoy, nuestros lectores tendrán la oportunidad de darle click a un botón para expandir la información, o elegir escuchar en vez de leer una en-trevista; podrán ver muchos videos de exposiciones que se han ido produciendo sólo como archivo y que vale la pena rescatar, entre otras cosas.
En esta edición, volvemos a presentar “Territorios del hogar“, una investigación realizada por Gonzalo Ortega sobre la migración y la visión de algunos artistas sobre esta temática. Al mismo tiem-po, les presentamos los portafolios de Horacio Quiroz, Alejandra España, Jimena Schlaepfer, Julio Pastor, Sofía Echeverri y Rodrigo Imaz. También, presentamos las exposiciones recomendadas de Sophie Calle en MARCO y a María Fernanda Barrero en La Casa de la Cultura de Nuevo León, y uno de los mejores especiales de música que hemos publicado: “Breve Enciclopedia del Rui- do” sobre Public Enemy, escrita por nuestro muy querido editor Daniel Vega.
Espero esta edición les guste tanto como a nosotros y le sa- quen todo el jugo al poder interactivo de esta muy renovada LARMAGAZINE.

"Migration is above all a creative activity,
but it is also suffering."
VilÉm flusser 1
Movement of tectonic plates, changes in at-mospheric pressure and temperature, ocean and wind currents, even the planet´s trajectory as it orbits the sun, have always been a defin-ing constant of the necessary conditions for life to be created or extinct on Earth. Millions of years of these kind of displacements have influenced the evolution of a large amount of species that, in a natural way, respond to this logic too by constantly, unendlessly and stub-bornly migrating according to the seasons. It seems like if life itself could be defined by this need to be moving.
A complex network of physical and chemical causes and effects generates the necessary conditions for the survival of animal and veg-etal species. From the spreading of seeds that travel long distances with the wind to conquer new territories, to the thousands of kilometers
traveled by whales, turtles, buffaloes and but-terflies in search of better circumstances for eating and mating. These organisms have had to evolve so that they can endure gigantic travels.
Even human beings began their existence as wandering creatures. Our ancestors had to walk the earth for millions of years in search for food, which allowed them to scatter all the way to the farthest corners of it. The unusual moment when they found the opportunity to improve their living conditions by settling on a place, controlling the reproduction and growth of plants and animals —contained in a deter-mined area— motivated a dramatic turn in the destiny of the whole planet.
As dominant species, human beings have taken the right to manipulate the environment, af-fecting thousands of species by imposing its rules and way of life. But along the human set-tlings came conflicts and violence when cer-tain —already established— groups had to defend their lands from others who came to take them. The history of man can be describ-
ed as a series of attempts to appropriate un-occupied spaces —a situation that rarely has implied any conflicts— and by the seizure of territories belonging to others. The displaced not only have needed to find another place to

live, but because of differences in ideology, politics, race and religion, have many times been victims of serious injustices. History re-gisters terrible acts, like slavery and humilia-tions of every kind.
The establishment of privileged classes, the exercise of power (political, economical and religious), the military control of certain groups, unequally distribution of resources, extortion and threats from influential people, etc., are only some of the aspects that have defined the fates of numerous people in disadvantage. All of this caused a new kind of displacement by massive human groups, very different from the one caused by the vital rhythm of the planet.
Today´s concept of migration is very vast and requires a meticulous differentiation since, ac-cording to philosopher Vilém Flusser (Prague, 1920–1991), liberty in decision taking is es-sential, no matter if one chooses to be absent temporally or indefinitely. It is also basic to understand the terms “nation” or “homeland” to separate the different emotions human be-ings can go through when going away from their homes. Flusser refers to the german con-cept Heimat 2 to define the emotional and vi-
tal link between humans and their homeland; but he takes this notion further by arguing that the Heimat can be established far from the place of birth. This sounds believable coming from a jewish man born in old Czechoslovakia who was raised on German culture, and then migrated to Brazil. The intimate link through language of one with his environment isn´t (is not) representative either in Flusser´s figure, since long stays in different countries forced him to “repatriate” in at least four languages. This gave him the chance to differentiate the notion of “homeland” (Heimat) from one´s “dwelling” or “housing” (Wohnung). Flusser in

Horacio R. Quiroz’s work reflects his search for strength, developing an energetic tenacity that seals holes and revives emotions due to his self-consciousness. No doubt, this is an art-ist who is characterized for his freshness and interest in exploring the human body as a re-ceptive cabin of emotions and the ability to transform himself through catalyst impulses that are activated while feeling and living an experience.
The challenge of self-exploration and manip-ulation of feelings have become a fundamen-tal part of the artist´s pieces, now that he has
emerged through a personal process, which has also been therapeutic.
The context of the artist becomes a showcase that presents emotions that take shape writh-ing, coming out and wrapping his privacy, so that the artist has found an interpretive tone that is constructed from a speech that is related to the story that each individual builds since his birth, starting with the first contact with the world. On the other hand, the artist considers the adult world shapes the mind of a child, whose emotions are conditioned as he grows, this way they become and twisted.

Girly boy, 2014
How many emotional questions, unresolved problems, intimate questions are not shelter-ed in the depths of the existence? Horacio has made radiographs of these circumstances, especially of those that cannot be told with words and only through drawing and painting can be diluted to be interpreted.
Body and skin are present in a catharsis, through which the spirit emerge offering an opening lecture with dense meaning about the art- ist´s personal life and the process he has been
through to create images that project a pro-found impact on those who look at them.
His work demonstrates that confrontation is activated between the interaction point and the adaptation to the adult world; finding a def-inition ranging from vulnerability and cour- age to follow his path. Therefore, it becomes a devotion to artistic practice as a medium to take out accumulated content through his experiences.

“I have been working on my master’s degree thesis since 2010, with support from Pola
Art Foundation. My thesis is about the experience and values found around the
construction of houses with money from remittances sent by Mexican
immigrants working in the USA.” Taro Zorrilla

The Project is called Dream house. It began in 2007 while I was driving to Hidalgo. Curiosity drew me to a group of colorful houses shining over a dry landscape, some with enough room between them, all of them sharing multiple characteristics of American houses.
I was amazed when I noticed the constant po-wer the physical realization of the imagination brings, adopted by every immigrant on the oth-er side of the border. These houses represent a constructed imagination born of immigration —as a context— and architecture
—as action and touchable object—, something that can be seen in many Mexican rural towns.
In 2007 and 2009 I worked with models related to my visits and experiences to the houses in the project. In both cases the spaces were measured, architectural blueprints were made as well as constructive cards and photographies of day to day life scenes reflecting the use of the spaces; for example, the cooking pan in the livingroom’s floor, the chimney as a stor-age space, lambs living in the porch, the garage used as a barn, a cactus used as a clothesline,
