Pedro Reyes: Social Sculpture

Reyes makes the public active participants in his interventions for social change, from mock peace summits and sanatoriums to recycling projects and morePublished with Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de Monterrey, Efiartes, and Fundación Femsa. Through his large-scale, participatory installations, Mexican artist Pedro Reyes (born 1972) navigates the fields of art, architecture, psychotherapy, theater and literature. His "social sculpture" invites collective engagement outside the museum space, whether organizing against nuclear warfare or turning donated guns into shovels to plant trees.
