Mario Opazo Chilean, b. 1969

Mario Opazo is a visual artist and audiovisual producer of Chilean origin, lives and works in Bogota, and is a professor at the National University of Colombia. His work is developed through contemporary artistic languages: experimental video, installation, performance and literary writing mainly, assuming migratory and multimodal linguistic relations; behavior that, being experimental, is subversive and reveals his critical position against the ballast of stagnant grammatical gestures, present in the form of society, politics and contemporary culture. His interdisciplinary spirit has led him to propose aesthetic products that are "ungenerated" and fluctuating between content, medium, and context; between traditional and experimental narratives that locate their place of configuration more in creative behavior than in disciplinary skills and abilities, turning to a possible expansion of the limits and particularities of artistic languages. Opazo performs resistance actions as mico political gestures that reveal his position and critical point of view in front of the current world.

He has participated in important events such as: the 52nd Venice International Art Biennial, the 10th Havana Biennial, and the II Mercosur Biennial and in several years at the Rencontres Internationales Paris / Berlin / Madrid at the Centre Georges Pompidou and Beaux-arts in Paris and at the Museo Nacional Reina Sofía in Madrid.
