Isidro Blasco

Isidro Blasco combines architecture, photography, and installation to explore physical and psychological terrain. Digital images and raw building materials are used to create large- and small-scale architectural environments and three-dimensional reconstructions of neighborhoods, producing snapshots of cityscapes that challenge perceptions. Isidro Blasco was born in Madrid, Spain, in 1962, and has lived in New York since 1996. The artist has exhibited worldwide, including Australia, Brazil, China, Austria, Portugal, and Spain. New York venues include MoMA-PS1, Black and White Gallery-Brooklyn, Smack Mellon Gallery-Brooklyn; Galería SIM-Brazil, Dominick Mersch-Sydney, Australia, Wave Hill in the Bronx, Espacio Uno-Reina Sofía, Alcalá 31-Madrid. Numerous awards include Sculptor-in-Residence at the Spanish Academy in Rome (1991); the Pollock Krasner Foundation Fellowship (2010, 1998); and the Guggenheim Foundation Fellowship in Visual Arts (2000). In the United States, Blasco's works can be found in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art; Whitney Museum of American Art; Queens Museum of Art; Tweed Museum of Art; Institute of Contemporary Art Chicago; and the Baltimore Museum of Art, among others. The artist maintains studios in Madrid, Spain; and Brooklyn, New York.
