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.[1][2]
Sodi was born in New York City in 1970, the son of Juan Sodi, a property developer and chemical engineer.[1][3] He lives in the Red Hook neighborhood of Brooklyn with his wife – the designer Lucía Corredor – and three teenage children.[4]
Work
When Hurricane Sandy struck New York City in 2012, Sodi was among the many artists who lost both work and materials from studios in Red Hook.[5]
In 2014 he opened Casa Wabi, an arts centre outside Puerto Escondido, in the Mexican state of Oaxaca. Parts of it were designed by the Japanese architect Tadao Ando.[4][3] He also operates an exhibition place called Santa María in Mexico City, and an art residency called Casa Nano in Tokyo.[4]
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.[2] The work was created again on the South Bank in London on the occasion of the visit to the United Kingdom of Donald Trump in July 2018.[6]
