For the showing of "Under the Same Sun: Art From Latin America Today" (through Feb. 7) at Mexico City's Museo Jumex, artist Luis Camnitzer installed an iteration of his site-specific work, El museo es una escuela, on the travertine-clad facade of the building itself, designed by British architect David Chipperfield in 2013. Translated into English, Camnitzer's piece reads: "The museum is a school: The artist learns to communicate, the public learns to make connections." The installation is the latest cross-cultural collaboration by the Guggenheim UBS MAP Global Art Initiative.
