Harold Mendez b. 1977

Overview
Harold Mendez is a first-generation American of Colombian and Mexican descent. Beyond exploring stories of immigrant experience, his work engages the long arc of hemispheric history, from ancestral cosmologies to the diasporic knowledges that form such an important part of New World cultures. Working in photography, sculpture, and installation, Mendez’s objects explore cultural memory, ritual, and transnational experiences. The porous borders between fiction and truth, visibility and absence, material bluntness and poetic moods run through his work, making a case for the articulation of complex narratives as the necessary outcome of the culturally rich and deeply stratified spaces of the Americas. Mendez has had recent shows at the Wexner Center for the Arts in Columbus; ICA Miami; Commonwealth and Council in LA; and PATRON in Chicago.
