Artist of the Collection

Oscar Tuazon

Born in 1975 in Seattle, Washington (USA)

The act of building is central to the production of Oscar Tuazon, who brings temporary structures made of high-density materials into the exhibition space. These precarious arrangements are an extension of a nomadic, communal, and nostalgic conception of the communion with nature that sometimes spills into subversion. While living in Paris in 2007, the sculptor participated in the development of the castillo/corrales gallery/bookshop, an alternative space for artists, curators, and art critics that organised events outside the institutional context.

Born in 1975 in Seattle, Oscar Tuazon studied sculpture and architecture at the Cooper Union in New York. He also completed a residency at the Whitney Museum. He lives and works in Los Angeles.
