Divergencias negra - Museo Jumex

Eugenio López Alonso, pioneer in the realm of contemporary art collecting in Mexico.

Guided tours through our exhibitions with Museo Jumex education team.

Fundación Jumex Arte Contemporáneo was formally established on March 3, 2001 when Colección Jumex was exhibited for the first time at the Galería Jumex in Ecatepec.

Through its exhibitions and public programs, Museo Jumex aspire to become a relevant institution in the field of art. This is achieved through the production (and co-production with other institutions) of exhibitions and research projects that bring contemporary art practices closer to diverse audiences.

Fundación Jumex Arte Contemporáneo’s Grants & Scholarships program provides funding to individuals and institutions involved in contemporary art production, promotion and research.

The foundation’s library is one of the most extensive libraries in Mexico devoted to the research and study of modern and contemporary art.

Divergencias Negra

María Ezcurra Lucotti

María Ezcurra Lucotti. Divergencias negra, 2009. La Colección Jumex

In this artwork, the artist María Ezcurra Lucotti uses black nylon stockings and knitting hoops to produce a sculpture composed of organic forms, that explores the tensions between the body and what we use to cover it up. We propose the following activity:

WHAT YOU NEED:

Clothes
Long and stiff objects like a pencil or a ruler
Your body

Steps:

Step One

Select pieces of clothing with different textures, preferably elastic.

Step Two

Use the rigid objects to alter the natural form of the pieces of clothing.

Step Three

Generate a composition with the different altered clothing pieces and observe how they transform into sculptures.

Remember: This activity can be done with more people, so you are able to compare how the clothing pieces may be altered in different ways. We would love to see your sculptures! Share them with us by tagging @museojumex on Instagram or Fundación Jumex Arte Contemporáneo on Facebook.
