Geometrías fragmentadas, a commission by the Museo de Arte Moderno de Medellín for the 4th-floor terrace, is a sculptural structure straddling architecture, art, and design, in which the Antioquian artist once again puts geometry at the service of the gaze: through a series of modular elements that combine in different ways, Hurtado creates a frame through which to see and reflect on his native Medellín, its present, and its history.
The sculpture is composed according to the principles of fractal geometry, which allows the rotation of an organic or simple figure to create a complex and fragmented geometry that multiplies the space of the terrace and generates spaces for looking and for being. Trained as an architect, for Hurtado the expressive possibility of art has to do not only with contemplation but also with the physical occupation of space. Thus, Geometrías fragmentadas is situated in and dialogues with the Museum’s architecture to create and enhance its places of encounter, habitation, observation, and thought, and to foster new perspectives on reality.
