JORGE PARDO
INSTALLATION
Jorge Pardo’s sculpture continues to blur the line between art, design and architecture as well as public and private space. Each project takes on a familiar yet alien presence with recurring elements of surface structure, other-worldly shape, vibrant color and a persistent playfulness that continues to reinvigorate and redefine Pardo’s sculpture.

Jorge Pardo’s sculpture continues to blur the line between art, design and architecture as well as public and private space. Each project takes on a familiar yet alien presence with recurring elements of surface structure, other-worldly shape, vibrant color and a persistent playfulness that continues to reinvigorate and redefine Pardo’s sculpture.
Pardo’s artworks take many forms, often resembling everyday objects such as lamps, tables, chairs as well as structures, rooms and buildings. But in Pardo’s hands, spatial relationships become critical, color relationships are reinvented and the boundary between that which is utilitarian, useless or hedonistic is stretched and pulled.
Jorge Pardo’s work has been exhibited internationally; including exhibitions at the Museum of Modern Art , New York (2001), the Dia Center for the Arts, New York (2000), Skulpture Projekt in Munster Museum of Contemporary Art , Miami
