THE CRYSTAL PALACE. PAUL RAMÍREZ JONAS
The Crystal Palace (2018) is both a set of lockers for museum visitors and an exhibition. Each of the lockers contains an element from Mexican popular material culture chosen by Ramírez Jonas. Visitors are invited to pair the object already in the locker with one of their own when leaving their belongings inside. This personal item becomes part of the display during their visit to the Museum. Together, artist and visitors, create a continually changing Great Exhibition where the public becomes curator and interpreter of their own chapter in this history.
