Iván Tovar
Ivan Tovar (Cali, Colombia 1987) creates work that explores the impossibility of knowing reality through mechanisms controlled by economic power, such as news and maps. At the same time, he challenges the artist’s role as an image maker in a world highly saturated with visual information.
His projects are presented in various mediums such as printmaking, video, sculpture-installations, and photography. His work has been exhibited in numerous independent spaces, museums, and galleries around the world, including the Saatchi Gallery in London, Art Shanghai, Raw Material Company in Senegal, ESSEX Art Center in the USA, and lugar a dudas in Colombia, among others.
He has received an award as a cultural manager from the Secretary of Culture in Cali, Colombia, and an honorable mention from the Ministry of Culture of Colombia.
