GROUP EXHIBITION

The exhibition takes as its starting point the experiments of modern artists who sought to incorporate time and movement into painting, pushing beyond the limits of the picture plane and bringing different artistic languages closer together. This inquiry unfolds across two sections: Tensions, devoted to works that suggest displacement through visual and chromatic relationships, and Active Forces, which gathers works activated by motors, by gravity, or by the viewer’s own movement. Highlights include Palatnik’s Objeto Cinético (1968/2006), which produces movement through motors and gears; Cruz-Diez’s Physichromie 526 (1970), which explores how color perception shifts as the viewer moves; and Amelia Toledo’s Om (1982), a flame-cut sheet of mirrored stainless steel that brings gravity into the composition.****

By bringing together artists from different generations, Jiménez also shows how movement, initially tied to the modern fascination with machines and technology, endures as an expressive resource in contemporary art, at times accompanied by a critical perspective.
