Description
Conceived as a nearly 1-kilometer pedestrian route, Jardín Inconcluso unfolds outdoors in the Museum’s Sculptural Garden, the Rondel, and Sala Gamboa. The exhibition makes normally invisible phenomena perceptible: cosmic radiation modulates the intensity of a triangular light beam; thermal energy disperses into projected particles; thousands of light bulbs pulse in sync with recorded heartbeats; voice messages travel along paths as sound and light patterns; and poems in Mexico’s indigenous languages flow in turbulent digital streams. Enjoy three world premieres and six works never before seen in Mexico, all reconfigured specifically for the MAM, in direct dialogue with its architecture, historical collection, and the beautiful surroundings of Chapultepec Forest.

  • 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.

  • 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
