This exhibition of the Colección Jumex includes recent acquisitions and works which have not previously been presented at Museo Jumex. Pieces from the 1970s to the present are brought together around conceptions time including scientific and belief systems, lifespans and momentary events, growth and decay. Tactility is common thread among the works, suggesting our register of time is felt rather than observed. These include Lara Favaretto’s Time Tunnel (2012), a passageway made of rotating brushes through which visitors can pass, and Hans-Peter Feldmann’s 100 Years (2001), featuring a portrait of a person from all ages from 0 to 100 years old. Rafael Lozano-Hemmer’s recent work Volute 2: Listen to the World (2023) captures the physical form that the phrase in the title takes when uttered, while Gordon Matta-Clark’s Hair (1972) consists of the artists own shorn hair after leaving it to grow for one year as an art project. Recent acquisitions by artists including Yeni Mao and Bárbara Sánchez-Kane present forms that sit between object and body, while Landon Ross and Ana Bidart’s pieces speak to the breakdown of logic when conceiving to abstract concepts of time and place beyond the human condition.
