Sofía Táboas

©Daniel Sadrowski

Sofía Táboas (*1968 in Mexico City, Mexico) studied fine arts at the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México. She is a founding member of the alternative art space: Temístocles 44 in Mexico City. In her work, the artist explores both natural and man-made space; how it is built and reshaped, thought and perceived. This interest extends to the materials she uses in her sculptures and installations, such as artificial and living plants, mosaics, swimming pool equipment, building materials and plastic. Her artistic approach testifies to a great awareness of materials that seeks to make the space that is passed through more complex from a different or rarefied perspective.

The Grand Snail Tour will be accompanied by literary, photographic and illustrative artists, who will collect impressions and reflections from the same city at the same time as the Trailer is there and put them into visual or literary form. The result is a paratext on the three-year tour, a travel chronicle in the form of a kaleidoscope of stories, connections and snapshots in the 53 cities of the region, revealing the simultaneities and non-simultaneities of the Grand Snail Tour.
