Current Exhibitions

The Years of the Stone proposes a descent into a territory where the domestic and the geological become indistinguishable. Inspired by the geography of inclination that defines Antioquia and by the industrial legacy of the building now occupied by the MAMM — a former steel plant born from coal mining — the exhibition invites us to inhabit a space where progress and ruin coexist in permanent tension.

Swarm invites visitors to immerse themselves in an experience of radical listening: 250 small speakers suspended from the ceiling each play the sound of an individual bee in flight. Upon entering the gallery, the sound is perceived as a unified murmur—a vibrating mass that evokes the collective power of a swarm. But as visitors move among the speakers, the experience shifts: the singular voice of each bee emerges, with its erratic flight, its breathing, and its intimate, irreducible presence.

In 1985, artist and cultural manager Leonel Estrada published the Diccionario de Arte Actual, a glossary of art concepts aimed at educating the general public about developing artistic movements. Señal abierta. Languages of Contemporary Art proposes a review of the MAMM collection and documentary archive based on a selection of concepts drawn from the dictionary, which serve to understand the experimental practices developed in the region during the second half of the 20th century. As a predecessor to the dictionary, two printed materials were produced, the first prepared by María Isabel Estrada in 1970 and the second, created as a supplement for the newspaper El Mundo in 1981. Both circulated during the Bienales de Arte de Medellín and served as a pedagogical tool for the public, broadening the interpretation and understanding of the languages, techniques, and artistic movements of the works presented at the biennials.
