Tercerunquinto (translating into English roughly as “a third of a fifth”) is the collective project of Mexican artists Julio Castro Carreón, Gabriel Cázares Salas and Rolando Flores Tovar. Formed in 1996, the collective is responsible for dozens of actions designed, in their words, “to question the boundaries between private and public space, examining the organized frontiers around the constitution of such definitions”.
In the case of Anarchitecture (2009) Tercerunquinto took part in the Shenzhen & Hong Kong Biennale of Urbanism and Architecture with a grave modification of one of the architectural spaces of the exhibition venue. The intervention consisted of the inscription of the word “Anarchitecture” (anarchic architecture) perforated through one of the venue’s walls in such a manner that the resulting holes allowed the viewer to survey the exterior space of the city and its daily transformation.
