Discover works from the Museo Jumex, Mexico City, in a new collaboration with the SLG.

This group exhibition in the Fire Station will share a curated selection of works from the international collection of Museo Jumex. Featured works bring together installation, sculpture, video, and photography by sixteen artists from around the world. Participating artists include Ana Pellicer and Tania Pérez Córdova from Mexico, Salla Tykkä from Finland, and Wilfredo Prieto from Cuba.

Mexican artist Damián Ortega’s Clay Mountain is an immense mound of clay, shaped to reference a mountain or volcano. Jenny Holzer’s Truisms displays deliberately challenging and often contradictory statements flashing on a screen. For Alma, Silueta en Fuego from Cuban artist Ana Mendieta’s Silueta series, the artist used a range of natural materials to create an outline of her body on the ground, in this instance, fire, to explore the body and representation.

A second presentation from the Museo Jumex will launch in the Fire Station galleries in autumn 2025.

ABOUT MUSEO JUMEX

Museo Jumex, Fundación Jumex Arte Contemporáneo’s main platform, opened its doors to the public in November 2013 as an institution devoted to contemporary art. Its aim is not only to serve a broad and diverse public, but also to be a laboratory for experimentation and innovation in the arts. Through its exhibitions, publications, research, and public programs, Museo Jumex familiarizes audiences with the concepts and contexts that inform current art practice. Using critical and pedagogical tools, the museum’s educational programs further the institution’s commitment to build links between contemporary art and the public.
