Museo Experimental El Eco
Museo Experimental El Eco is a museum in Mexico that presents temporary contemporary art projects by Mexican and international artists.
The mission of El Eco is to create a meeting place for the arts. Emphasizing experiment, emotion, and interdisciplinary thinking, the space continually takes inspiration from its architecture and the diverse conceptual interests of its founder, Mathias Goeritz (1915–1990). Inspired by Cabaret Voltaire and the writings of Hugo Ball, Goeritz sought to create both an international interdisciplinary art space—that would mix visual arts with dance, music, poetry, and theater—and a true Gesamtkunstwerk, or total work of art.
