Description
Conceived as a nearly 1-kilometer walking route, Unfinished Garden unfolds outdoors in the Museo's Sculpture Garden, the Redondel, and Sala Gamboa. The exhibition makes normally invisible phenomena perceptible: cosmic radiation modulates the intensity of a triangular light beacon; thermal energy disperses in projected particles; thousands of light bulbs pulse in rhythm with recorded heartbeats; voice messages travel along paths like patterns of sound and light; poems in indigenous languages of Mexico flow in turbulent digital streams. Enjoy three world premieres and six artworks debuting in Mexico, all reconfigured specifically for MAM in direct dialogue with its architecture, historic collection, and the beautiful Bosque de Chapultepec surroundings.

  • Fue una gran exposición, muy bien curada y con un concepto muy interesante, que mezcla el arte con la ciencia, para que sea el público quien complete cada una de las obras.

  • Es una experiencia impresionante con un significado profundo en cada obra.
  • Gran experiencia de arte
  • Increíble experiencia. Todo muy bonito, muy organizado y el hecho de que todo sea tan interactivo le da un plus. Hay muchísimos puntos para tomarse fotos y aprovechar las luces, pero además la reflexión en cada obra me pareció algo sublime. Recomendada al 100% esta experiencia que me parece que tiene también un precio justo.
  • It’s really beautiful and the attendants are knowledgeable and super helpful. Really creative installation.
  • Genial
  • Beautiful, poetic show
