Destino

Destino is an exhibition where both theater strategies and television productions converge. In Destino, sculptures from the Colección Isabel y Agustín Coppel, a monologue, a choreography, and a sound piece come together to create a museographic essay that is always active.

Destino is co-produced by CIAC, A.C. and the Museo Experimental El Eco specifically for this space, which, although it was established as a museum in the early 1950s, soon lost its original purpose to subsequently become a restaurant, a nightclub, the headquarters of a company theater, and a boxing gym, before being rescued and returned to its initial function. Destino is an exhibition that deals with liminal spaces, failure, and disappointment, and precisely recalls the moments in which El Eco ceased to be a museum.

During Destino, the different works are continuously activated and deactivated through a choreographed mise en scène of lights and sound. In other moments, the exhibition becomes a real stage where various acts and characters intersect.
