Conceived and curated independently, these two parallel exhibitions—Franz Erhard Walther’s first in the Mexican and Latin American context—beautifully complement each other. One takes over the top floor of the David Chipperfield–designed Museo Jumex in the industrial district of Nuevo Polanco; the other is staged amid the clutter of Casa Luis Barragán, the final residence and studio of the revered Mexican architect, situated in the working-class Tacubaya neighborhood of Mexico City.

Presented on the occasion of the Museion’s tenth anniversary, Somatechnics: Transparent Travelers and Obscure Nobodies, curated by Simone Frangi, is conceived as a theoretical system to deconstruct hegemonic imaginaries of race and gender.
