Tania Pérez Córdova
Museo Jumex in Residence (Part 1)
- South London Gallery, London (UK)
- 21.05.–31.08.2025
Discover works from the Museo Jumex, Mexico City, in a new collaboration with the SLG.
This group exhibition in the Fire Station will share a curated selection of works from the international collection of Museo Jumex. Featured works bring together installation, sculpture, video, and photography by artists from around the world. Participating artists include Ana Pellicer and Tania Pérez Córdova from Mexico and Salla Tykkä from Finland.
Mexican artist Damián Ortega’s Clay Mountain is an immense mound of clay, shaped to reference a mountain or volcano. Jenny Holzer’s Truisms displays deliberately challenging and often contradictory statements flashing on a screen. For Alma, Silueta en Fuego from Cuban artist Ana Mendieta’s Silueta series, the artist used a range of natural materials to create an outline of her body on the ground, in this instance, fire, to explore the body and representation.
A second presentation from the Museo Jumex will launch in the Fire Station galleries in autumn 2025.
Participating artists in part 1: Pia Camil, Michel François, Jenny Holzer, Luisa Lambri, Gordon Matta-Clark, Ana Mendieta, Damián Ortega, Frida Orupabo, Fernando Palma Rodríguez, Ana Pellicer, Tania Pérez Córdova, Teresa Solar Abboud, Salla Tykkä, Hannah Wilke, Héctor Zamora.
