Jorge Pardo & Jan Tumlir: Conversations

This book encompasses conversations between Jan Tumlir and Jorge Pardo, which span a period of 20 years. Cuban-born, Mexico-based artist Jorge Pardo explores the intersection of contemporary painting, design, sculpture and architecture. In conversation with art writer, teacher and curator Jan Tumlir, he discusses contemporary art, design, publishing and music. The result is a story of a unique intellectual friendship that has helped define both of their thinking and practice.Employing a broad palette of vibrant colours, eclectic patterns and natural and industrial materials, Pardo’s works range from murals to home furnishings to collages to larger-than-life fabrications. The conversations also connect to the varied contexts of Los Angeles and Merida, Mexico, where they took place.
