Mathias Goeritz Gallery
Guadalajara, Jalisco, 1994
An academic exercise set on a hypothetical site next to the “Pájaro de Fuego” (Bird of Fire), Mathías Goeritz’s iconic sculpture located above the railroad tracks at what was once the main entrance to the Jardines del Bosque development.
The project is a museum/gallery conceived as a dark volume that contrasts with the master’s light and luminous sculpture.
El museo, parece flotar The museum appears to float above the railroad tracks, framing the entrance and proposing the reconstruction of the “tail of fire,” an element that disappeared more than forty years ago.
The interior of the museum consists of two floors composed of slanted rooms that serve as a counterpoint to the simple exterior volume.
