Ashes and Snow Exhibition – Mexico City
Mexico City and New York (January 19, 2008)—A temporary museum housing more than 50 large-scale photographic artworks and 3 accompanying 35mm artistic films by Gregory Colbert will transform Mexico City’s Zocalo into a timeless realm in which the boundaries between humans and animals disappear.
The exhibition, Ashes and Snow, will be on display from January 19 through April 27, 2008. It will be presented in the Nomadic Museum, the permanent traveling home of the project.
Rolex has made it possible to preserve the body of work as shown in its original form at the Venice Arsenale in 2002. This collection is joined by photographic artworks and films from recent expeditions to comprise the work on display, so that the show itself, along with the architecture, evolves as it travels.
