Bosco Sodi

Bosco Sodi is a Mexican contemporary artist. He was born in Mexico City in 1970, and works in Barcelona, Berlin, Mexico, and New York City.

Work
In 2014 Sodi opened Casa Wabi, an arts centre outside Puerto Escondido, in the Mexican state of Oaxaca. Parts of it were designed by the Pritzker Prize-winning Japanese architect Tadao Ando. He also operates an exhibition place called Santa María in Mexico City, and an art residency called Casa Nano in Tokyo.

His installation Muro – a wall of bricks made in Mexico – was built in Washington Square Park in New York on 8 September 2017, and dismantled the same day by passers-by who took a brick each. The work was created again on the South Bank in London on the occasion of the visit to the United Kingdom of Donald Trump.

Life
Sodi is the son of Juan Sodi, a property developer and chemical engineer. He lives in the Red Hook neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York City, with his wife the designer Lucía Corredor, and his three teenagers.
