Kiosko (Hendrix)

"shelter"), is a 2009 outdoor contemporary art sculpture by Dutch artist Jan Hendrix, installed in the Zócalo (main square) of the city of Puebla, in the Mexican state of the same name.

Kiosko is a contemporary artwork inspired by the gazebo created by Eduardo Tamariz Almendaro [es] in 1883, emulating its circular base and intricate filigree ornamentation.

[4] For Jose Maria Wilford, Kiosko starts with integration into its green and brown surroundings, highlighted by its white ceramic-coated metal.

[3] He emphasised it depicts the temporality and compared it to the Möbius strip or an infinity symbol where past and future converge in the perpetual present.

[8] In 2011, Iván Ruiz wrote for the same newspaper that the artwork is a disruptive part of the landscape, noting that its modern design and stark, monochrome look stand out against the city's vibrant colours.
