As part of the sixth edition of the program ART| BANKNOTES | SHREDDED BANKNOTES | TRIMMINGS, the exhibition features the work of 44 Mexican visual artists or resident visual artists in our country, who explore the non-sculptural tridimensionality through art-object boxes that incorporate shredded banknotes and trimmings, materials that have infused the program with vitality and given it permanence, and which originate from the destruction of paper money.
The exhibition reveals the artists' particular interests and explorations, creating a varied narrative repertoire. The images are deeply emotional and touch on themes that connect us all, such as the universe, reflections on humanity, the human body, childhood, gender dynamics, memory, as well as the complexity of contemporary society.
The vaults in the basement of the building are an emblematic space, where valuables were placed for close safekeeping, evidence of the trust placed in Banco de México.
The immersive experience “Journey to the Center of Trust” in the basement vault area has limited capacity. To ensure entrance please reserve it by date and time available, in the museum ticket window or on our website.
