MAURO GIACONI
(Buenos Aires, Argentina, 1977)
He is a graduate of the National School of Fine Arts “Prilidiano Pueyrredón” (E.N.B.A.P.P., Buenos Aires, Argentina). He has lived and worked in Mexico City since 2011, where he works as a visual artist and independent cultural manager.
His artistic production explores, through various media such as drawing, graphic intervention, sculpture, and installation, the tension between the real and the apparent. His recent interests are framed by appearance and simulation as strategies of resistance, survival, and power, through which he proposes to challenge visual, historical, and political conventions.
His work has been included in renowned national and international publications; he has participated in various international artist residencies and has exhibited in museums and institutions in the Americas and Europe.
At the same time, he is developing his career as an independent cultural manager. He is the founder and director of projects such as Obrera Centro, a space for meeting and creative exploration for the artistic community, and HerratecA, a community lending tools, trades, and knowledge that operates like a public library, but for tools; both in Mexico City.
In the field of education, he coordinates independent art training projects, such as Proyecto Imán, seminars on work analysis and artistic production, and DibujE, a study group on drawing in contemporary art, among others.
Since 2025, he has been a member of the National System of Art Creators (SNCA).
