Eduardo Navarro

For more than twenty years, artist Eduardo Navarro has encouraged audiences to see and understand the world in new ways. In performances, sculptures, and drawings—often developed in close collaboration with participants—he explores ways of knowing and being that extend beyond language and human logic. With Cloud Museum, Navarro invites us to imagine the experience of being a cloud. 

Commissioned by the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis where it was first performed in July 2025, Cloud Museum is an exercise in “collectively becoming a cloud.” In performance, twenty-five dancers wear modular garments designed by Navarro that connect their bodies. They move together as a single drifting form, performing choreography shaped by light, breath, weather, and chance.  The work will be performed again at the Frost Art Museum in the spring of 2026.

This exhibition brings together Navarro’s outfits, drawings, and performance documentation for Cloud Museum. Together these elements trace the development, from conception to execution, of a work that favors embodied exploration and intuition.  

Eduardo Navarro: Cloud Museum is organized by the Walker Art Center. The commission is supported by Lois and John Rogers. The exhibition is curated by Rosario Güiraldes, curator, Visual Arts; with Brandon Eng, curatorial assistant, Visual Arts, Walker Art Center. Patricia & Phillip Frost Art Museum’s presentation is organized by Natalia Zuluaga, chief curator.
