What is CHROMA?
CHROMA is an invitation to go beyond what we think we know about color. Visitors not only fully engage in the discovery process, they are a key component of the artworks: as they move, they can see colors appear and disappear!
CHROMA is an immersion in the colorful world of Carlos Cruz-Diez, a highly influential figure of contemporary art. It showcases recent pieces specially created for this exhibition to provide an overview
of Cruz-Diez’s work.
The experience continues outside the exhibition room with a series of interventions in the public space, a common practice for Cruz-Diez, who believes that art plays a central role in the city and in the community.
