About

Mixi
Art
Studio

A collective laboratory for transdisciplinary artistic exploration, dedicated to strengthening artists as influential creators in the contemporary art ecosystem. Founded in Salt Lake City, 2022.

The Studio

Mixi Art Studio was founded in 2022 by artists Yuri Ortiz and Bryan Vigil, who dreamed of creating a public space to exhibit and preserve their growing collection of contemporary art.

Located in Salt Lake City, Utah, Mixi is an exhibition space where we exchange experiences to connect the global art scene — especially the Latin American one — with local art and North American practices.

Our approach bridges disciplines to create convergences, aiming to strengthen artists' positions as influential creators in the current landscape. We engage in dialogue, mutually enrich, innovate, foster collaboration, and rethink solutions to complex challenges.

Yuri Ortiz
Yuri Ortiz
Known as Yuskadd
Creative Director · Mixi Art Studio

Yuri Ortiz (b. Morelos, México) also known as Yuskadd, is a transdisciplinary artist who lives and works between Salt Lake City and Mexico City.

Her artistic practice merges painting, felt, wool, and generative AI video art to explore the everyday human interaction with artificial intelligence, as well as entropy and randomness as forms of resistance to algorithmic predictability, from a philosophical and dystopian perspective.

In 2022 she founded and directs Mixi Art Studio in Salt Lake City, where she serves as artistic director and curator. Mixi is a transdisciplinary exhibition space dedicated to contemporary art that functions as a bridge between artists, curators, and collectors. With a particular focus on Latin American art, the space promotes intercultural dialogue and international collaborations.

Since 2019 she has built a collection of contemporary art, an activity that has deeply nourished her artistic vision. It is from her own collection that the Mixi project emerged, followed by Mixi Collectors, an acquisition and exhibition initiative designed to encourage and professionalize art collecting.

In November 2025 she presented the first edition of Mixi Collectors at Casa Siza, Mexico City, and is currently working on the second edition, which will take place in the United States.
