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.

Jardín Portátil

Sofía Táboas

Sofía Táboas. Jardín portátil, 2001. La Colección Jumex

In this piece, Sofía Táboas uses live plants on a base with wheels. Have you ever seen plants inside an art museum? Sometimes in big cities, trees and plants become more and more invisible. Can you imagine if you could take your own garden everywhere? We invite you to create your own portable garden.

Materials:

A notebook
Leaves and flowers
Glue stick

Steps:

Step One

Pick different leaves and flowers from your garden.

Step Two

Place the leaves and flowers you chose in your notebook. You can organize them by shape, size, or color, so they can tell a story or connect with each other. You could even use them to draw pictures with them.

Step Three

Finally glue them to your notebook with the glue stick. You can make some additional notes or drawings to complete your portable garden.

We would love to see your portable garden! Share it with us by tagging us on Facebook: Fundación Jumex Arte Contemporáneo or Instagram: @museojumex
