A group of adults and children are gathered in a brightly lit room at the Whitney Museum, engaging in a creative activity with colorful magnetic geometric shapes. The shapes are arranged on a large white wall, forming a vibrant mosaic. Some participants are standing, while others are kneeling or sitting on the floor. The room has a clean, modern design with round blue and gray rugs scattered on the wooden floor. The atmosphere appears lively and collaborative.

Drop by the Artspace to contribute to a magnetic mosaic. Inspired by 2024 Biennial artist Eamon Ore-Giron’s paintings, try your hand at creating your own colorful geometric compositions and collaborate with others contributing to the mosaic. Come back later to see how the magnetic mosaic evolves throughout the day!

Ore-Giron’s painting series featured in the Biennial reimagines deities from ancient Peruvian and Mexican cultures with precise, semi-abstract shapes and vibrant colors. The artist is interested in exploring the living ancestral past in ways that are open, informal, and personal.
