CURATOR: Kit Hammonds.

Temperature has been considered part of the context of the work or a secondary element, but artist Sofía Táboas places this concept at the center of her most recent production, brought together in her exhibition Thermal Range. The exhibition was conceptualized by Kit Hammonds, chief curator of the Jumex Museum in Mexico City.

Throughout her career, Sofía has explored space based on its construction and how it is conceived and transformed. She also addresses the distinction between the public and the private, emphasizing materials, their transformation, and displacement.

These interests are present in this exhibition, which brings together 34 works, including recent and previously unseen pieces. In Gama térmica, the artist prioritizes the viewer’s perception across the broad spectrum of the senses, not limiting herself to the visual alone. She focuses on the effects of heat and cold, using color and light, as well as on how temperature and environment transform materials. At the same time, she proposes different types of spaces through which the individual moves: the interior, the exterior, and the threshold.
