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.
