Yoshua OkĂłn
(born in Mexico City, 1970 Lives and works in Mexico City and Los Angeles)
Yoshua OkĂłn’s work, like a series of near-sociological experiments executed for the camera, blends staged situations, documentation and improvisation and puts into question habitual perceptions of reality and truth, selfhood and morality. For example, in OrĂllese a la Orilla (1999), OkĂłn convinced cops to perform absurd tasks (twirling their nightsicks, dancing). In another video-taped performance, CoyoterĂa(2003), he re-enacted Joseph Beuys’ 1974 cohabitation with a coyote by confining himself with a human “coyote” hired to act like the canine coyote (“coyote” is Mexican slang for the unsavory middlemen who facilitate interactions between the government and civilians and who also smuggle migrants across the Mexico-US border). OkĂłn has shown his work at the Kunstwerke in Berlin, P.S.1-MoMA and the New Museum in NY, the Istanbul Biennial, Galleria Francesca Kaufmann in Milan, The Project in NY and GalerĂa Enrique Guerrero in Mexico City amongst others.
In1994, he co-founded La PanaderĂa, an independent space dedicated to the exhibition and discussion of contemporary culture, a project which he directed for 8 years. Since 2002, OkĂłn has also been a visiting teacher at the University of California, San Diego.
