Pia Camil

Pia Camil is a Mexican artist born in 1980 who currently lives and works in Mexico City. She obtained her BFA from the Rhode Island School of Design and her MFA from the Slade School of Fine Art in London. Camil's work is primarily focused on textiles and she often incorporates found and repurposed fabrics into her work, creating large-scale installations, sculptures, and performances that explore themes of consumer culture, globalization, and identity.

Camil has exhibited her work extensively, with recent solo exhibitions including ':Organismo Multi Orgásmico' at Galerie Sultana in Paris, 'Tokyo Twilight' and 'Aurora Scarlet' commissioned by Balenciaga in Tokyo and Shanghai, respectively, 'Saca tus trapos al sol' at Rockefeller Center in New York, and 'Velo Revelo' at The Clark Institute in Williamstown, Massachusetts.

She has also participated in numerous group exhibitions, including 'unending beginnings' at the USC Roski School of Art and Design in Los Angeles, 'Republica' at La Nueva Fabrica in Antigua Guatemala, and 'Otrxs Mundos' at Museo Tamayo in Mexico City. Her work can be found in the permanent collections of several prestigious institutions, including the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, Centre Georges Pompidou, La Colección Jumex, Blanton Museum of Art, and the Kadist collection, among others.
