New exhibition space and creative hub JO-HS opens inside a striking example of modernist Mexico City architecture by Carlos HerreraIn Mexico City, a new, multifaceted arts hub has arrived on the scene. JO-HS, founded by Danish curator and gallerist Elisabeth Johs, is a new exhibition space, artist residency and shop that will spotlight a cross-section of local and international contemporary creativity, and offer studio and living space for emerging artists in Mexico City.
JO-HS occupies an architecturally significant building in San Miguel Chapultepec, Mexico City, a former residence and architectural studio designed by Mexican architect Carlos Herrera and constructed in 1981. This light-filled modernist gem has been sensitively and elegantly renovated to adapt to a platform for contemporary art.
Participating artists responded to two fundamental questions: ‘What does art need to survive? How does art escape the contemporary?’ In its purest sense, the vivarium is an environment in which to maintain life; the show is an art ecosystem in which to cultivate contemporary discourse. Through his exploration of automobility as a psychological condition, artist and car designer Fernando Ocaña delves into the anthropology of speed.
‘I’m thrilled to debut JO-HS and to fulfil a long-held vision for a place to slow down, create and appreciate art in Mexico City,’ says Johs. ‘I have long admired the vibrancy and creativity of this city and aim for JO-HS to be a hub for international creativity where we celebrate the work of Mexican artists in particular.
