Installation view, Jorge Palacios at The Noguchi Museum

Jorge Palacios at The Noguchi Museum

September 26, 2018 – January 20, 2019

Nine sculptures by Jorge Palacios (b. 1979, Spain) explore the laws of physics and motion on microscopic and macroscopic levels. Integrated into the Museum’s permanent installation, Palacios’s works bring renewed attention to Noguchi’s frequent experiments with the physical sciences, as well as with turning art-viewing into a physical experience.

Complementing the exhibition, Palacios’s monumental accoya wood sculpture Link (2018) will be installed at Flatiron Plaza North in Manhattan, August 16–November 6, 2018.

The exhibition is accompanied by an illustrated catalogue featuring full color installation photography by Miguel de Guzmán, an essay by exhibition curator Dakin Hart, and a conversation between the artist and architect Ana Maria Torres.
