The three recreate a discussion about what sculpture can mean within the scenario of the museum. They inhabit three separate rooms, each under its own terms.<\/p>\n<p>One enters the museum to be received by the work of Alejandro Almanza, with the project <em>Las quince letras<\/em>. The artist remains faithful to the development of his investigation into the instability of architectures that has occupied him for several years now. On this occasion he proposes a baroque structure that juxtaposes loans from different moments and historical styles. Juggling horizontals and verticals, boards, poles, columns and candelabras.  A general wink at a certain form of constructivism and the possibility for disguising with a certain equilibrium, the tension of pastiche.  <\/p>\n<p>Having tuned into the first room, the body has to mutate to head into <em>Nuestra casa ser\u00eda un campamento<\/em>, la propuesta de Diego P\u00e9rez para el patio del centro. the proposal by Diego P\u00e9rez for the centre\u2019s patio. Having made several trips to the state of Guerrero, the artist returns with clay to model a communitarian space that has a use, in the way that furniture has a use. Surrounded by benches, he invites the public to sit and use the large elliptical table. A kitchen, the de facto domestic space for meetings, is introduced into the museum with the aim of replicating its original function.  <\/p>\n<p>Finally, in the room of the upper floor there is <em>Ambiente II<\/em>, by Hers\u00faa. This piece was presented for the first time in Bellas Artes in 1970, and here it is reinstalled in an endeavour to allude to a distant past that hailed two distinct forms of relating to object-public, which the other two projects practice. The work functions as a return to a type of experience with the art object that was only possible in those early negotiations of sculpture with dance, light and the movement of the actor. However, its insertion in the room is accompanied by a display on a screen, where one sees an actor interacting with the piece, which generates an excess of evidence, killing the power of seduction that it would otherwise conserve. <\/p>\n<p>The Museo Experimental El Eco houses an informal conversation between three forms of sculptural being. The voices understand each other. One feels comfortable and well received. And one\u2019s left with a desire for more, for more rooms, for a larger home. But that is the virtue of this space that has never wanted to be encyclopaedic.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Museo Experimental El Eco in Mexico City is holding until 20 October three very different exhibitions.
