LONDON.- The South London Gallery (SLG) presents the second of two exhibitions of works drawn from the Colección Jumex. As part of Museo Jumex’s residency at SLG, which began in May 2025, this group show highlights a curated selection from one of Latin America’s most significant international contemporary art collections.

This second display showcases a selection of works by 13 international artists who explore how identities, emotions and gestures are constructed and performed on stage, screen and in everyday life.

Highlights include Pedro Reyes’s Museum of Hypothetical Lifetimes, 2011, an interactive installation where visitors are guided by a ‘therapist’ to curate an exhibition of their own lives, and Ana Segovia’s I’ve Been Meaning to Tell You, 2023, a series of paintings based on an imagined film script, reinterpreting 1980s teen cinema through a queer lens.

Also on display is Isa Genzken’s Schauspieler II, 2014, part of the artist’s mannequin series exploring architypes of creative individuals, and Daniela Rossell’s provocative photographic work Third World Blonds (Harem Room), 2002, which blurs the line between documentation and critique of privilege.

A performance of James Lee Byars’s The Perfect Kiss will occur intermittently throughout the exhibition. Originally conceived by Byars in the 1970s, the fleeting performance involves a solitary figure offering a silent kiss to the gallery audience.

Additional featured artists include Tala Madani, Liliana Porter, Álvaro Urbano, Annette Messager, Bruce Nauman, Eva Koťátková, Bas Jan Ader, and Clotilde Jiménez, whose new bronze sculpture Leopoldo (2024) introduces a central character from his recent opera The Grotto, commissioned by the Museo Jumex in 2024.

The exhibition is curated by Kit Hammonds, Chief Curator of Museo Jumex.
