Mexican artist

Yoshua Okón (Mexico City, 1970) is a Mexican artist whose work is part of major art collections throughout the world. He is co-founder of La Panadería, an art space that operated between 1994 and 2002, and of SOMA, a contemporary art school.^[1] Mexican art critic Cuauhtémoc Medina points out that Okón burst onto the Mexican art scene as a child prodigy.

At age twenty-seven he produced works that promptly gained iconic value such as “A propósito” (1997), a sculpture made with 120 stolen car stereos obtained on the black market accompanied by a video in which Okón and Miguel Calderón steal a car stereo, and “Chocorrol” (1997).
