Yollocalli Arts Reach, the Museum’s youth initiative invites you to Jardín de Gárgolas: New Age Grotesque on Saturday, April 27th from 1:00 pm – 4:00 pm at NMMA. Join us as the Yollocalli youth display a temporary exhibition of gag-worthy gargoyles made by the 3D Design class, led by artist Secret of Manna (@secretofmanna).
In the fall 2023, students began to conceptualize their garden gargoyles using 3D software and design tools. This spring the program evolved into a fabrication and exhibitions class. In collaboration with ChiLab Studio (@chilabstudio), youths’ designs were taken from virtual visions to real life statues, pouring hot liquid metal into molds to unveil their one-of-a-kind creations!
This program is a concept that morphed from the idea of a rainwater garden and a bird bath for our Jardín Malinalli. Soon to be installed in the garden!
This exhibition is curated by Yollocalli youth with the guidance of NMMA’s Director of Visual Arts & Chief Curator, Cesáreo Moreno; Permanent Collection Assistant, Juan Olvera; and support from the Museum’s Operations team. The temporary exhibition will be on display in the Courtyard April 24th – 28th.
