StatementPedro Reyes is an artist and architect whose work addresses the interplay of physical and social space. His work uses both formalist and narrative methods to explore the geometries of interpersonal relationships as well as political and economical participation. He often relies on architecture, design, language, video and group activities to examine the cognitive contradictions of modern life, and the possibility of increasing our individual and collective degree of agency.

Pedro Reyes founded La Torre de los Vientos, an alternative space active from 1996 to 2002 in Mexico City. Reyes has exhibited in institutions throughout the world including the Carpenter Center for Visual Arts at Harvard University, Cambridge; The MCA, Chicago; The San Francisco Art Institute; CCA Kitakyushu, Japan; the Aspen Art Museum; the Reina Sofia, Madrid; the South London Gallery, UK; Yvon Lambert Gallery, NY and Paris; the Jumex Collection, Mexico City; P.S.1, New York; and Witte de With; Rotterdam, the Shanghai Biennial; the Seattle Art Museum, the Serpentine Gallery, London; The Reykjavik Art Museum, Iceland and the Venice Biennial.
