Pedro Reyes

Mexico City, Mexico

Pedro Reyes was born in Mexico City in 1972, where he lives and works. His work addresses the interplay between physical and social space, making tangible the invisible geometry of our personal relationships. His expanded notion of sculpture examines the cognitive contradictions of modern life, and the possibility of overcoming our particular crises by increasing our individual and collective degree of agency.

Solo exhibitions of Reyes’s work took place at the Hammer Museum, Los Angeles (2014), ICA, Miami (2014), The Power Plant, Toronto (2014), Whitechapel Gallery, London (2013), Walker Art Center, Minneapolis (2011), Guggenheim Museum, New York (2011), CCA Kitakyushu, Japan (2009), Bass Museum, Miami (2008) and the San Francisco Art Institute (2008). Group exhibitions include documenta 13 (2013), and the Liverpool Biennial (2012).
