MIQUEL GARCÍA

The interdisciplinary work of Miquel Garcia (Barcelona 1975), deals with different lines of research: the notion of space and territory, the analysis of power and economic structures as well as contemporary theories of history and collective identity. His projects are narratives constructed by texts that he creates or appropriates. He is interested in finding gaps or omissions sometimes through what is hidden, or forgotten, by detecting changes of their own history, development and disappearance. His proposals are linked in one way or another to today’s socio-political world, human behavior, migration, exclusion, the abuse of power and the production of survival strategies.
He graduated in Fine Arts from the University and Master of Research and Artistic Production of Barcelona and completed his studies at Cooper Union in New York. Miquel has made several artistic residencies among which we find: El Ranchito (Matadero, Madrid), La Casa das Caldeiras (Sao Paulo), Dare Dare (Montreal), Chang Dong Art Studio in Seoul (grant from the Unesco Auschberg) in Axenéo7 (Quebec) grant from Conca, in MCO art (grant from the Joan Miró Foundation of Mallorca) and in Hangar, Barcelona.
