Let’s take a break.

We’ve been going at it for weeks.

Slip into the hammock of your mind and take the weight off.

My hope is that you’ll come out of the other side of this issue with a head brimming with possibilities.

As much as I want to say about this artist and sculptor, I won’t. Now now.

(How helpful is it to be smothered by someone else’s opinion so often?)

Not only does his work speak for itself, but his thoughts about his work have been so beautifully and throughly documented.

Those are at the end of this issue. There are two that you can’t miss.

I recommend reading the brief interview by adjunct curator Pedro Alonzothe of the Dallas Contemporary, and the very short segment I’ve posted from Louisiana Channel.

Gmail shortens emails in awkward places. Read online It’s better.

Reyes discussing the spirituality and energy of his work. 1:16 minutes. Documentary created by Louisiana Channel.

Video created by Art @art, September 2025

Last one, Dallas Contemporary: Interview Pedro Reyes, (in Spanish, but text is translated to English). Interview here.

That’s it! Mr. Pedro Reyes. Let me know if you hear about his upcoming exhibitions!

Did you catch the bonus I emailed last Friday?

I created a 4-minute epiphany practice—free to you, my founding members.

I'll be sending it out via social media to artists and creators soon. They'll pay a small one-time price for access. But I value your feedback before I do that.

So far, a few of you pointed out that the video is 18 minutes long, which makes it seem like an 18-minute practice. Fair point—I'll clarify that before the launch. Thanks for catching that.

I'd love to hear anything else you've got. What worked? What didn't? What questions came up?

Pedro Reyes, Pedro Alonzo, Laurent Berant: 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 more.

Published 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.

Pedro Reyes: Monutmental Mexico's extensive sculptural tradition is marked by the constant exploration not only of formal elements but also of the spatial, social, and cultural relationships that permeate it. One of the most notable aspects of this inquiry is the role that sculpture has played in the construction of public spaces: the inscription of sculpture in space has shaped certain narratives and sculpted identities and symbols that are then appropriated and questioned according to the transformations experienced by society itself.

Guía Domingo: Guía Domingo: Tacos CDMX, I couldn’t help including this book…on pre-order now. A curated guide to the best tacos in Mexico City—where tradition, creativity, and obsession collide in a bold celebration of flavor, culture, and street food artistry.

I’ve put together a list that you’ll love of creators, artists, writers, technique, mindset, travel...dive in!
