Overview
Art containers that take the programs of the Museum of Contemporary Art and Design to other cities in Costa Rica and abroad. Each one is a temporary space that travels with the exhibitions and settles where the public is.
The containers are added according to each venue, in groups of about eight. The façade openings follow a rhythm that allows many combinations, and inside travel the kiosks that carry the material and organize the entrance. Opened up, the containers form a small covered plaza that can be set up in a park, on a pier or in a street.
A light, demountable box of metal mesh and roofing sheets, without glass.
