Iván Manríquez,

(La Paz, Mexico 1986)

He has taken part in colective exhibitions such as Existe lo que tiene nombre: Contemporary Photography in Mexico (2015), the 6° National Visual Arts Biennale of Yucatan (2014), Review of Plastic Arts of Nuevo León (2013 y 2015) and the Show of in Nuevo León (2011).

He has also has one solo exhibition: Camuflados: Vistas de la azotea (Camouflaged: Views from the rooftop) in the House of Culture of Nuevo León, Monterrey (2013). He achieved the acquisition award of the 6° Visual Arts Biennale of South California (2012) and in 2015 he was awarded with the Young Creators scholarship given by FONCA as well as the scholarship for production of Financiarte given by CONARTE.

His artwork started by exploring the limits between video and photography and taking as inspirations topics that have to do with data visualization, cartography and urban landscapes. However, little by little his artwork has taken a strong twist into digital platforms that inhabit the internet such as .gif and an approach to dimensional hybrids through mapping and audiovisual installation.

His artwork is in constant mutation through the exploration of diverse digital platforms and the new limits between 2D and 3D.
