Tania Pérez Córdova

Tania Pérez Córdova (b. 1979, Mexico) lives and works in Mexico City. Córdova’s quiet and contemplative works relate to temporality and the lifespan of objects, using a unique lexicon to situate each work within a larger narrative, forgoing the autonomy of objects in favor of their integral role within a nexus. Conceiving of her works as “situations,” the artist creates sculptures and installations that consider the contextual relationships of everyday objects. Her practice spans across media, incorporating sculpture, photography, found objects, and performance. Verbal clues in artwork titles incite viewers to consider both the lifespan of objects and their networks of intimate, interpersonal exchanges. The artist considers media in an abstract sense, often embedding situations into objects as a material itself. These references to the world beyond the sculpture create a vivid sense of time and space outside the gallery, strategically widening the nuanced relationship between artwork and viewer to include external places, people, and actions.
