Who is Alicia Candiani?

Alicia Candiani was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina in 1953 where she lives and works.

Her international artistic practice consists of expanded print and digital media work, architectural interventions and collaborative art projects as well as curated exhibitions. In her professional activity she includes three conjoined strategies: production-exhibition, critical discourse, and education-collaborative work encompassing artists, students and communities around the world. She is the founder and current director of Proyecto Ace, an artist-in-residence international program focused on contemporary printmaking practices and their interfaces with photography, design and digital media, which is located in her home city. She lectures widely about printmaking, design and digital media in contemporary art with a focus in Latin America and out of the mainstream regions. Her essays and articles have been published nationally and internationally.

Candiani’s work has been shown in over 300 shows and one-person exhibitions since 1977.
