Tania Pérez Córdova
Tania Pérez Córdova (1979, Mexico) lives and works in Mexico City. Her sculptural practice relates to the temporality and lifespan of objects. Conceiving her works as “situations,” Pérez Córdova creates sculptures and installations that consider the contextual relationships of everyday objects. She works with a wide range of materials, incorporating found objects and performance through networks of intimate, interpersonal exchanges. The artist’s interest in quotidian events underlines how unremarkable situations can be linked to the infrastructure of our social and economic reality, and the complexity of the contemporary world. These associations beyond the sculptures create a vivid sense of time and space outside the gallery, widening the relationship between artwork and viewer to include external places, people, and actions.
The artist has had solo exhibitions at Travesía Cuatro CDMX, Mexico (2026); SculptureCenter, New York (2023), Tina Kim Gallery, New York (2023, 2020); Museo Tamayo, Mexico City (2022); Galerie Martin Janda, Vienna (2023, 2019, 2016); Galerie Art:Concept, Paris (2022); Kunsthalle Basel (2018); and the Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago (2017).
Her works have been included in a number of institutional exhibitions including the Aichi Triennale (2019); SITE Santa Fe (2018); Gwangju Biennale (2016); New Museum Triennial (2015); and Shanghai Biennial (2012).
Her work is part of important institutional collections such as Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago, US; Tamayo Museum, MEX, Jumex Collection, MEX; San Francisco Moma, USA; Cisneros Collection, USA; Museo Amparo, MEX, CA2M Collection, Comunidad de Madrid, Spain.
