Coinciding with the artist’s solo exhibition at the Museo Tamayo, Mexico City (where she lives), Tania Pérez Córdova’s “Precipitation” opens at Tina Kim Gallery next week. It’s a chance to see a body of work that I’ve been highly anticipating: a series that uses plastic leaves that resemble a kind of unsettling botanic infestation and are adorned with jewelry chains. A group of hand blown glass sculptures will also be on view. Interspersed throughout the gallery space, the pieces evoke, according to the artist, how various breathing patterns can induce different psychological states. Barely mid-career, and already with a 2017 Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago show under her belt, Córdova is an artist to watch closely. My favorite work of hers thus far, Subtraction 1, 2018, finds a Le Creuset Dutch casserole dish remelted in its own mold to sublime, Mad Max effect.
“Precipitation” by Tania Pérez Córdova will be on view from February 2 to March 25, 2023 at Tina Kim Gallery in New York.
