Eduardo Cervantes (Mexico 1966), is an artist whose multi-disciplinary work includes site-specific installation, video, assemblage, sculpture, drawing, painting, and anything that offers experimental possibilities. His approach is characterized by a critical and poetic discourse that regularly include series of studio work next to contingent and site specific pieces involving the spectator and reflecting on the constructive process. There is a dystopic state, angular and non sequitur that pervades through all the work, resisting categorization and repelling a monolithic framework. The formal diversity of this work is centered on an anthropological deliberation that runs against the reductionism of sociological discourse.
His unorthodox practice posits Mr. Cervantes within a large generation of Latin American artists from the mid nineties that broke away from the nationalist status quo of identity and decolonization, holding instead a very broad approach to the practice of art. Eminently conceptual, iconoclast and operating primarily as Institutional Critique.
