Pequod Co. is a contemporary art gallery based in Mexico City.
Since its founding in 2020, it has worked with a group of artists who have established themselves among the most relevant voices in today’s vibrant Mexican ecosystem. The gallery produces and promotes ambitious projects through exhibitions in its own space, synergies with institutional initiatives, and a strategic selection of art fairs with both local and international presence.
Its program brings together radical and diverse enunciations of the contemporary world that transcend dominant linear conceptions and narratives. Comprehensively, they operate as an interconnected system of information, creating a network of knowledge, questions, and proposals that address the collective concerns of our time, while also maintaining a critical reflection on the circumscribed environment from which they emerge.
Pequod responds contextually to the transition of the century, and its artists have had a significant impact through activities such as the development of artist-run spaces and non for profits, research in prestigious MFA programs, presence in public collections, and connections with key entities of the global art circuit.
Institutions with which the gallery’s artists have developed various forms of synergy include Museo Tamayo, Museo Jumex, Museo Universitario de Arte Contemporáneo, Museo del Chopo, Museo de Arte Moderno, Museo Universitario El Eco, Museo Anahuacalli, Laboratorio de Arte Alameda, Museo Carrillo Gil in Mexico City; Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de Monterrey; Museo Cabañas, Museo de Arte de Zapopan in Guadalajara; Museo Amparo in Puebla; Museo de la Ciudad de Querétaro; Museo de la Isla de Cozumel; and the Yuyito and FEMSA Collections.
