The Medellín Museum of Modern Art has marked the farewell of ‘El susurro del barro’, an exhibition by Spanish artist Gemma Luz Bosch. In a Spanish-language update published on 17 August 2026, the museum described the presentation as an opportunity to approach the earth in an unusual way: through touch and, above all, through listening.
The exhibition centred on pieces of earth and clay resonators. According to the museum, these elements enabled visitors to encounter soil not only as a material to be viewed, but as something that could be physically handled and heard.
“Pudimos tocarla y, sobre todo, escucharla” — “we were able to touch it and, above all, listen to it” — the museum wrote in its farewell message. The post presents the exhibition as an exploration of sensory contact with the ground, using clay both as substance and as a means of producing resonance.
The museum identified Bosch as an artist from Spain but provided no further biographical information in the update. It also did not state the exhibition’s opening or closing dates, or provide additional details about its installation, programme or venue arrangements.
The farewell announcement referred specifically to ‘El susurro del barro’ and to its use of earthen clods and clay resonators. No further exhibition information was included in the source material.
