Biography:

Rodolfo Marqués is an Argentine artist born in Buenos Aires, Argentina in 1982. His artistic production covers a wide range of topics, always guided by the purpose of investigating the nature and dynamics of certain social and cultural phenomena. He has developed an aesthetic personality committed to 'hacking,' putting in a trance and interrupting the tendencies of contemporary common sense. Trained at the Universidad Nacional de las Artes in Argentina, Marques turned his production into a collection of singular artifacts and pamphlets. Dominated by an ethic of invention, he has carried out a series of exhibitions in which the room seems to reproduce the environment of the workshop-laboratory – a space crowded with devices whose functioning is absolutely mysterious, surrounded by paintings and projection drawings on supports such as cardboard, plywood panels, gypsum boards, galvanized metal supports, and marquetry. They seem to postulate scenes that come from an imagination tinged by the impact of technology and industry, put at the service of thinking strange universes.
