Mauro Giaconi
Buenos Aires, 1977
Mauro Giaconi
He has held solo exhibitions at the BMocA
(Boulder Museum of Contemporary Art), MAMBA (Museum
of Modern Art of Buenos Aires), University Museum
del Chopo, and participated in collective exhibitions in the
Gregory Allicar Museum of Art, Recoleta Cultural Center
and the Palace of Fine Arts Museum in Mexico City.
His works belong to collections such as: SPACE
Collection, OMI International School of Art, Bemis Center for
Contemporary Art, in the USA, and Colección Jumex, in Mexico.
In addition, he has been awarded various prizes, such as
such as: Phillips Award for Young Talent, in the stages
from Argentina and Latin America, UADE Painting Salon,
National Drawing Salon, and ArteBA–Petrobrás in Argentina.
Mauro Giaconi's work explores the possibilities of drawing as an expanded field.
Through this the artist expands on other disciplines, such as sculpture or
installation, with the aim of investigating architecture, precariousness and the body as territories
in conflict.
In this sense, the artist subverts both the paper support and the idea of drawing as
basic expression of artistic practice, resulting in the occupation of space, in the act
performative with emphasis on bodily experience and the intervention of objects and
universal references belonging to the contemporary metanarrative.
In the conceptual field, his work often presents content and experiences that create tension.
or they cancel opposing notions such as birth and death, construction and destruction, freedom
and closure, as a gesture that invites us to revisit and question the dichotomous meaning of
ideas.
On the other hand, Mauro Giaconi works as a critical facilitator of the systems of
art production, having co-founded in 2014 the projects: Obrera Centro, space
self-managed that promotes interdisciplinary artistic experimentation; and HerratecA,
popular tool library. Both cases reveal the artist's interest in practical
collaborative initiatives that generate new spaces and transformative actions, under the premise
that from the collective and from dialogue, possibilities of progress and access to the
culture.
