JUMEX-ANIVERSARY – TELAM Agency
The Jumex Museum, the most important contemporary art museum in Mexico, will celebrate its tenth anniversary starting in November and, as part of the commemorations, will present an exhibition throughout the building with works from the Jumex Collection curated by Lisa Phillips and also a commemorative book published by Rizzoli International Publications.
The exhibition, titled “Everything Gets Lighter”, will include works by 70 international artists, curated by Phillips, who also offers a critical study of the collection, with works created between 1964 and 2020 and “will highlight the poetic and personal responses to light as a healing force for current problems. Considering “light” as both illumination and liberation from gravity, “Everything Gets Lighter” invites audiences to explore themes of ecology, identity, society, and spirit.
Additionally, as part of the exhibition, the Jumex Museum will present “Waterfall” (1998), a large-scale sculpture by Olafur Eliasson in the building’s plaza.
In 2024, the Rizzoli label will publish a book that will document all the exhibitions of the first decade of the institution’s life, with contributions from internationally renowned artists and curators such as Jeff Koons, Melanie Smith, Jessica Morgan, Humberto Moro, Abraham Cruzvillegas, Patrick Charpenel, María Minera, David Chipperfield and Massimiliano Gioni.
