Pasaje Floral:
Inspired by the vision to create a unique and immersive experience for mall visitors, Mexican artist Oscar Torres, with the suggestion from MASSIVart, embarked on creating “Pasaje Floral,” a suspended garden that became the centrepiece of Galerías MX’s malls. Beyond mere decoration, this installation aimed to inject dynamic energy into retail centres, attracting the community and enhancing visitor experiences with its captivating beauty. Pasaje Floral travelled to four retail centres across Mexico.
Creating Moments with Coapa:
In line with the vision to transform and energize public spaces, the colourful LED mural at Galerías MX’s Coapa location, conceived by artist Pamela Medina, was introduced. This 4-meter by 4-meter piece not only revitalized the food court area but also demonstrated a commitment to creating vibrant and welcoming spaces for the community, showcasing the synergy of art and space activation by Pamela Medina.
Pepe, El Perezoso:
Envisioned by artist Fernando Parra to spread joy and wonder, “Pepe, El Perezoso,” a larger-than-life inflatable sloth, brought a unique charm to Galerías MX retail centers in Mexico. Curated and delivered by MASSIVart, this delightful installation was not just a hit with children but also showcased the practical benefits of colourful, easy-to-store and transport art, aligning to make spaces more engaging and flexible. Pepe, El Perezoso is making its rounds, spreading magic throughout various Galerías MX locations in Mexico.
