Biografie
Martín Soto Climent wurde 1977 in Mexiko-Stadt geboren und lebt und arbeitet in Tepoztlán. Eine bedeutende Überblicksausstellung von Soto Climents Werk wurde 2023 im Museo de la Ciudad de México in Mexiko-Stadt präsentiert. In Frankreich wurde seine Arbeit kürzlich in der Einzelausstellung „Amatl“ (2021) bei Andréhn-Schiptjenko sowie in Gruppenausstellungen im Les Franciscaines, Deauville (2022), der Carmignac Foundation (2021) und dem Palais de Tokyo (2016) gezeigt. Er hatte kürzlich Einzelausstellungen im Hessel Museum of Art, Hudson (USA), Museo Universitario del Chopo Mexiko, Museo Pietro Canonica Rom, Palais de Tokyo Paris, Kunsthalle Winterthur, El ECO Museo Experimental, New Jersey Museum of Contemporary Art und Museo de Arte Carrillo Gil. Seine Werke sind in zahlreichen Sammlungen vertreten, darunter das Cleveland Museum of Art, Ohio, USA, das Hessel Museum, Annandale-on-Hudson, NY, USA, die Colección Jumex, Mexiko-Stadt, Mexiko, die Loewe Foundation, das MCA Chicago, USA, das Migros Museum, Zürich, Schweiz, das MOCA, Miami, USA, und die François Pinault Foundation, unter anderen.
Martín Soto Climent ist bekannt für seine surrealistischen Manipulationen von Bildern und Objekten. Seine Arbeit bezieht sich auf die Formen des Körpers und die Psychologie des Begehrens, eingebettet in eine Konsumwirtschaft. Durch subtile Umdeutungen und zarte Neuarrangements mittels Aneignung und Gegenüberstellung haben seine Werke oft die bescheidene Qualität des Readymade oder erscheinen als fragile Assemblagen, die Fragen der Vergänglichkeit, des Begehrens, des Verfalls und der Randständigkeit erforschen. Soto Climent schafft Objekte, Installationen, Skulpturen und Fotografien, die Materialien und Bilder aus dem Alltag nutzen, und seine Eingriffe in Alltagsgegenstände sind gelegentlich temporär.
