Taken from the Mexic-arte press release:

La Caja Museo Contemporáneo de Arte / The Box Contemporary Museum of Art, curated by Martha Papadimitriou, is a museum inside a museum. Featuring prominent contemporary artists from Mexico, La Caja is made up of the Huge and the Small: a miniature contemporary museum and “regular” size paintings and sculptures displayed in a traditional museum gallery setting. In conjunction with La Caja, miniature works of art by Texas artists will be on exhibition in the Latino Art Wing through April 13 and will be auctioned at Taste of Mexico on April 18.

A fascinating miniature museum contains miniature art works created between 2001 and 2007 by twenty-four prominent Mexican contemporary artists for this project. The pieces in La Caja / The Box are not representations – they are autonomous, original artworks. The mini museum invokes the sensation of “entering” a real museum rather than standing in front of a display. La Caja / The Box touches human attributes: the curiosity for small beautiful things and the need to approach and dominate an object. Because of its size, the viewer can stand, sit on a bench, or sit on the floor to gaze at the artwork depending on the installation. This transforms a once solemn attitude into a playful spirit, and it absorbs the viewer’s attention.
