WORKS

The work of Juan Pablo Macías (Mexico, 1974) is a research on anarchism as a critique of representation and takes many processes and forms. Editorial projects, poetry, video, installations, performance, serve as fields to signal diverse situations produced by the encounter between power-knowledge and insurrectional-knowledge, or between the system of representation and affectivity.

He is editor in chief of TIEMPO MUERTO journal (2012-ongoing) and WORD+MOIST PRESS (2014-ongoing), two editorial projects on anarchism and libertarian thought. He also conceived BAS - Banca Autonoma di Sementi Liberi da Usura (2014) in Abruzzo, a seed bank free of usury that brings together libertarian words and seeds as the two main foundations of human life, nonetheless both subject to exclusivity and monopolistic practices.

In 2013, Juan Pablo conceived the idea of a commercial art gallery without a gallerist. In 2018, along Federico Cavallini, Salvator Rosa was activated.

His work has been shown in Musée d’Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris, Casino Luxembourg, Maison Rouge Paris, Confort Moderne Poitiers, Villa Romana Florence, tranzitdisplay in Prague, National Center for Contemporary Art in Moscow. In Mexico City at Museo Universitario de Arte Contemporáneo (MUAC), Museo de Arte Moderno (MAM), MUCA, Museo Carrillo Gil, Museo Ex Teresa Arte Actual, Sala de Arte Publico Siqueiros (SAPS), Museo Amparo in Puebla, He was part of Istanbul, Jakarta and Second Yinchuan Biennials and a resident at Fondazione Ratti in Como, Database in Carrara, Guilmi Art Project in Abruzzo, La Stanza della Seta in Sicily and Thread from the Josef and Anni Albers Foundation in Senegal. His work is part of the collections of Museo Amparo (MEX), Collezione la Gaia (IT), Nomas Foundation (IT) and Colección Adrastus (ES), between others.
