Interview: Tania Pérez Córdova, The Creative Independent (02/2017)

Tania Pérez Córdova (*1979) makes an art of turning ordinary materials into conceptual sculptures. In her first institutional solo show in Europe, the Mexican artist prepares an exquisite, minimal installation in the upper skylight galleries that mines distinctions between original and copy, the authentic and the ersatz through a body of newly commissioned works.
