Museo Jumex, Mexico City, is in residence at the South London Gallery’s Fire Station, with the second of two exhibitions of works from the Colección Jumex. This group show brings together a curated selection of highlights from one of the most significant international contemporary art collections in Latin America, featuring more than 3,000 works.

This display focuses on works by 13 international artists, which explore how identities and emotions are constructed and displayed. They include references to acting on stage and screen, as well as everyday means of performing through gestures, possessions, and play. Pedro Reyes’s installation is activated by a “therapist” inviting the public to “curate” an exhibition of their lives. Ana Segovia’s paintings depict scenes from an unmade film script. Isa Genzken’s Schauspieler II, 2014, portrays how creative individuality is articulated through style, while Daniela Rossell’s Third World Blonds, 2002, depicts the oriental fantasy of a Mexican elite family home. A performance work by James Lee Byars, during which a figure appears intermittently in the galleries, will be staged at points throughout the exhibition run.

Artists: Álvaro Urbano, Ana Segovia, Annette Messager, Bas Jan Ader, Bruce Nauman, Clotilde Jiménez, Daniela Rossell, Eva Koťátková, Isa Genzken, James Lee Byars, Liliana Porter, Pedro Reyes, Tala Madani.
