Gama térmica (Thermal range) is a thematic survey of existing and new works by Mexican artist Sofía Táboas. Her practice includes a range of approaches and materials to create sculptures, installations, architectural interventions, and paintings that speak to the relationship of the body and culture to the natural world, and the lives of others.

In this exhibition, a focus on temperature weaves together the works from different periods and shifts attention to sensations beyond the visual alone at the heart of the artist’s aesthetics. Expressed in her titles, mutable materials, and interactions of light, heat, and air present both in and between the individual works, temperature mediates directly between seemingly distinct places, states of being and experiences. Táboas’s works are a constant investigation into the implications of defining and delimiting spaces, living things and objects, focusing instead on thresholds where binary classifications no longer apply. At a time when human effects on the environment are felt on a daily basis, her perspective is especially pertinent today through works that push at the brink of what falls in or out of our lives.
