Biographie

Tania Pérez Córdova (née en 1979) est une artiste mexicaine née à Mexico où elle vit et travaille. Après avoir étudié à l’école des beaux-arts de Mexico, elle a obtenu une licence en beaux-arts au Goldsmiths College de Londres.

L’œuvre de Tania Pérez Córdova se développe à travers une grande variété de médiums, à savoir la sculpture, les objets trouvés et l’installation, mais aussi la photographie et la performance grâce auxquels elle explore les relations contextuelles qui se tissent entre les objets du quotidien. Les éléments visuels qu’elle nous présente sont en effet à comprendre dans le contexte d’une narration plus large dont les titres donnent les clés – l’artiste aime d’ailleurs parler de « situations » pour désigner ses œuvres.

« L’œuvre de Tania Pérez Córdova se révèle par strates de différentes technologies, époques et matériaux – poudre à canon, cendres de cigarette, maquillage, mousse, bronze versé dans du sable, bijoux – pour présenter de poétiques clichés d’une narration passée ou qui peut encore advenir. Ses sculptures élégantes sont des questions qui flottent dans l’air, un sentiment inarticulé.

Dans ses créations intimes, les vestiges de la présence humaine peuvent être décelés là où de nouvelles fonctions sont données aux objets ; un médaillon en cannettes de bière fondues piégé entre une fenêtre en verre recyclée, un moulage en bronze de la poche de quelqu’un, une lentille de contact colorée sur du marbre. Elle active souvent ses sculptures à travers un jeu performatif, comme par exemple par la présence d’une personne dans la galerie portant la lentille de contact ou la boucle d’oreille dont le double fait partie de l’une des sculptures. »*

*Texte d’Elizabeth Fullerton

Son travail a été présenté dans des expositions personnelles au Sculpture Center de New York (2023) au Museo Tamayo de Mexico (2022-2023), à la Kunsthalle de Bâle (2018) et au Musée d’art contemporain de Chicago (2017). Il fait partie d’importantes collections publiques telles que celles des Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago/US, Tamayo Museum/MEX, Jumex Collection/MEX, San Francisco Moma/US, Cisneros Collection/US-VEN, Museo Amparo/MEX, Adrastus collection/ESP.

‘All our explanations’ présentée chez Art : Concept en janvier 2022 est sa première exposition personnelle en France.
