Alexander Ríos

The work of Alexander Ríos (b. 1984, Bogotá, Colombia) explores other forms of encounters and collective experiences that respond to diverse relationships between art, everyday life, and capitalism, and that use media such as performance art, writing, and installation. Through simple, commonplace actions, Ríos seeks to create a dialogue between art and daily life. During his project Nómada (Nomad), for three years he lived in different homes in various countries throughout the Mediterranean, exchanging his work as an artist for room and board. Within CAPP, he worked together with Byron Maher, for the Manteros project that seeks to create a support structure for the Madrid immigrants that work as street vendors.
