Andrés Ramirez Gaviria

The work of Andrés Ramírez Gaviria borrows cultural references from the histories of art, design, science and technology, reconfiguring them through methodologies that imagine alternative modes of perception and thought. Informed by processes of translation and transference, Gaviria’s work emphasizes moments of discord and dialogue between an experiential notion of the contemporary and the constantly changing perspectives of historical references.


Gaviria’s work has been exhibited internationally at ArteBa, International Art Fair, Buenos Aires, Museum of Modern Art, Santo Domingo, El Instituto Cervantes, Dakar, Kunsthaus Graz, Kunsthaus Dresden, BAWAG Contemporary, Vienna, Ar/Ge Kunst, Italy, Museo de Arte del Banco de la República, Bogotá, La Casa Encendida, Madrid and Sonambiente and Transmediale, Berlin, among others. He has been an artist-in-residence at the MuseumsQuartier, Vienna and at the International Studio and Curatorial Program (ISCP) in New York.  He was also the recipient of the Transmediale.06 Award and his book, Between Forms of Representation and Interpretation, was published by Onomatopee in 2012. His writing has appeared in Flash Art International, Leonardo, #Errata, among others. Together with Norbert Pfaffenbichler and Franz Gebetsberger in 2014, he co-founded Sigmund, a non-profit exhibition space in Vienna.
