This captivating book serves as a companion to the groundbreaking exhibition of the Mexican artist Pedro Reyes in Europe. Reyes, a trained architect, made a global impact in 2012 with his monumental installation "Sanatorium" at dOCUMENTA (13) in Kassel. At the Museum Marta Herford, Reyes showcases his extensive sculptural work, deeply rooted in the concept of social sculpture, which was pioneered by Joseph Beuys. His artwork frequently draws upon political activism, reflecting his commitment to social change.
As an artist who embraces an interdisciplinary approach, Reyes is a passionate advocate for the social impact of art, architecture, and design. Through his sculptural concepts that challenge violence and promote immersive community experiences and active participation, he invites viewers to explore contemporary perspectives and establish connections to theatre, political activism, and psychology.
The term "sociarty" was coined by the social scientist Jacob Levy Moreno, who developed a series of therapies aimed at healing society. In this sense, Reyes not only raises critical questions through his projects but also develops utopian approaches to addressing real social problems. By incorporating psychological, philosophical, sociological, and activist methods, he encourages individuals to become active agents of change.
This book is published in both English and German, allowing a wider audience to engage with Reyes's artistic vision and his profound exploration of social issues.
