‘Colección Jumex: Visiones difusas’, a group exhibition drawn from the Colección Jumex, is entering its final week at Museo Jumex in Mexico City. Organized by the museum, the exhibition remains on view through August 30, presenting works by Ale de la Puente, Michel François, Cyprien Gaillard, Petrit Halilaj, Jim Hodges, Emily Kraus, Pipilotti Rist and Teresa Solar Abboud.
The exhibition, which opened on March 7, is framed around the unstable boundary between waking and dreaming. According to the museum, the selected works evoke a threshold where the limits between those states become porous. Images associated with everyday consciousness are presented alongside scenes that appear to emerge from sleep, producing an intermediate atmosphere of visual reverie.
The museum’s description emphasizes the range of responses generated by that premise. Some works transform familiar or ordinary subjects until they become unsettling, while others suggest memories of forms of life beyond the human. The exhibition treats ambiguity not as a lack of meaning, but as a liminal mode of perception that resists the clarity of an analytical gaze.
The participating artists bring together distinct practices within that shared framework. The roster includes artists working across installation, sculpture, photography, video and other contemporary media, although the museum’s published exhibition information does not assign individual works to particular thematic sections. Rather than presenting a survey of a single movement or generation, the exhibition uses the collection to construct an atmosphere shaped by uncertainty, altered perception and the coexistence of the familiar with the strange.
‘Colección Jumex: Visiones difusas’ is curated by Carolina Estrada García, Adriana Flores Suárez and Natalia Vargas, all identified by the museum as assistant curators. It forms part of Museo Jumex’s exhibition program, which the institution describes as focused on producing and co-producing exhibitions and research intended to familiarize diverse publics with contemporary artistic practice.
Museo Jumex is located at Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra 303 in Colonia Granada, Mexico City. Admission is free, with visiting hours listed as Tuesday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Saturday from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.; the museum is closed on Mondays. The institution’s parent foundation was formally established on March 3, 2001, when it presented the first exhibition of the Colección Jumex at Galería Jumex in Ecatepec. ‘Colección Jumex: Visiones difusas’ closes on August 30, 2026.
