“In Praise of Caves: Organic Architecture Projects from Mexico by Carlos Lazo, Mathias Goeritz, Juan O’Gorman, and Javier Senosiain”
The Noguchi Museum
Ends in 18 days
In Praise of Caves: Organic Architecture Projects from Mexico by Carlos Lazo, Mathias Goeritz, Juan O’Gorman, and Javier Senosiain is an exhibition spanning multiple galleries on the Museum’s first floor. It combines a selection of projects by these four artist–architects that explore the adaptation of natural structures to modern living, the practical and environmental benefits of moving underground, and how humanity might reconnect with the essential happiness of living in concert with nature. Under the broad rubric of organic architecture, these projects and site-specific installations reflect an alternative paradigm for approaching the relationship between human-built and natural environments that emerged in Mexico in the middle of the twentieth century. As the climate crisis accelerates, along with other signs that we have broken our relationship with nature, alternative visions have never seemed more needed.
