Born in Lima, Perú, 1965

He stands out among his contemporaries for his intellectual breadth, rigor, and his focus on drawing practice. His project entails critical reflection on the intersections between visual, print and exhibition culture, the functions of archives, and the implications of all of these for historical memory. Since the mid-1990s he has been conducting research at various archives and libraries, locating printed matter that in most cases can be viewed as a form of propaganda, related to pedagogic, artistic, commercial, and diplomatic exchanges, as well as by political parties, and revolutionary groups, which he renders in drawing series. His works are represented, among others, in the collections of The Museum of Modern Art, MoMA, New York, U.S.A.; The Tate Modern, London, United Kingdom; The Carnegie Museum, Pittsburgh, U.S.A; Kunstmuseum St. Gallen, Switzerland; VAC Collection, Valencia, Spain; ARCO Foundation Collection, Madrid; Spain; and Burger Collection, Zürich/Hong Kong.
