Bosco Sodi presents “MURO” at London’s Art Night

Renowned Mexican artist Bosco Sodi is back in London for his first public performative installation, “Muro”, presented within the contemporary arts festival Art Night that puts art into extraordinary locations around London for one night a year.

"Muro" will be installed in the riverside square of the National Theatre on the South Bank. Sodi will build a 2 meter high by 8 meter long wall consisting of 1600 clay bricks, made in his studio in Oaxaca, Mexico, with the help of local artisans and signed by the artist. Once installed, passers-by will be invited to dismantle the wall brick-by-brick throughout the night, thus taking part of the artwork home.

Sodi, is known for his works based on raw materials, through which he creates a dialogue with natural elements, always in the interest of preserving a natural authenticity.

Art Night is curated by Hayward Gallery and Sodi’s participation is supported by Blain|Southern.
