Work

In 2014 Sodi opened Casa Wabi, an arts centre outside Puerto Escondido, in the Mexican state of Oaxaca. Parts of it were designed by the Pritzker-Prize-winning Japanese architect Tadao Ando.[3][4] He also operates an exhibition place called Santa María in Mexico City and an art residency called Casa Nano in Tokyo.[3]

His installation Muro – a wall of bricks made in Mexico – was built in Washington Square Park in New York on 8 September 2017, and dismantled the same day by passers-by who took a brick each.[2] The work was created again on the South Bank in London on the occasion of the visit to the United Kingdom of Donald Trump.[5]

Life

Sodi is the son of Juan Sodi, a property developer and chemical engineer.[4] He lives in the Red Hook area of Brooklyn, New York, with his wife the designer Lucía Corredor, and his three teenagers.[3]
