With the exhibition Pedro Reyes: Social Sculpture, the Monterrey Museum of Contemporary Art (MARCO) displays sculptures that are not only physical but also relational. By inviting participation, the viewer becomes an actor, engaging in psychosocial and philosophical experiences.

Currently, MARCO seeks to review the proposals of some artists who have had a considerable impact on the formation of younger generations.

Pedro Reyes (Mexico City, 1972) lives and works in Mexico City. After studying architecture, the artist undertook the restoration of the sculpture La Torre de los Vientos (The Tower of the Winds), created by Gonzalo Fonseca for Mexico City’s Ruta de la Amistad in 1968. Between 1995 and 2002, he organized a series of exhibitions and performances inside the sculpture. This utopian vision of the city and the potential of its ruins allows us to identify some of the aesthetic and conceptual operations that have characterized the artist’s work.
