Museo de Arte Carrillo Gil

Mexico City

A series of documentary capsules produced for the Museo de Arte Carrillo Gil, where artists and curators reflect on the concepts, processes, and exhibition devices behind each show. Through interviews and exhibition walkthroughs, the pieces construct an audiovisual narrative translating curatorial research and artistic practices while maintaining the dialogue between artwork, display, and viewer.

Moverse para nombrar

In Galia Eibenschutz’s proposal, the museum space is activated through performances in which drawing and movement intertwine. Curated by Anel Jiménez, the exhibition unfolds as a journey without visible hierarchies between stillness and activation. The documentary addresses working processes, performative activations, and the audience’s interaction with the exhibition, articulating the relationship between body, gesture, and space.

The documentary translates this interdisciplinary approach into a narrative that emphasizes exhibition design as a generator of meaning.

The proposal highlights the simultaneous coexistence of physical presence and virtual communication, characteristic of a generation accustomed to inhabiting both realms. The documentary articulates this reflection through the recording of the action and its later presentation within the exhibition space.

Abusos de las formas

In Mauricio Marcin’s curatorial research, the exhibition examines the transfers between art and craft in Mexico from the mid-twentieth century to the present. Works by artists such as Francis Alÿs, Abraham Cruzvillegas, Mathias Goeritz and Sheila Hicks, among
