The exhibition is produced by MARCO in collaboration with CIAC, a collection listed as one of the best in contemporary art internationally. Curated by Magnolia de la Garza, director of the collection, it proposes that the space and plant elements of the garden be contemplated through artistic representations in different media, from photography and painting to installation and intervened objects. The approach captures the spirit of the garden, where humans and societies have coexisted and enjoyed reflection, play, recreation, and contemplation.

The curatorial concept of the exhibition is based on philosophy, specifically on the term heterotopia, coined by French philosopher Michel Foucault, which refers to places with specific functions that allow for breaks with established social norms. Two key examples of this type of space are museums and gardens, as both represent cultural and power aspects and also offer a space for reflection.

With museography designed by the architectural firm LANZA Atelier, the exhibition proposes a garden where the plant world is replaced by a series of artistic representations, from installations to sculptures and photography, maintaining the relational character that distinguishes both the museum and the garden. The works range from flowers scattered on the floor that appear natural but are actually replicas that make up the installation Graft, by the Puerto Rican duo Allora & Calzadilla, to works in text, such as B/Order, a neon sign that plays with the English words border and order, by South African artist Kendell Geers.

This is the third collaboration between MARCO and CIAC. In 2011, the museum exhibited Blockbuster: Cinema for Exhibitions, featuring film and video works, a recurring practice among 20th-century artists, and in 2019, it hosted Starting Point, which delved into the idea of mestizo thinking to present an interpretation of international contemporary art.
