Alejandro Cesarco’s exhibition brings together works in a range of media – including print, video and text-based pieces – that propose a reflection on the construction and experience of learning as well as on the processes associated with memory, perception and language.

In ‘Other Recent Examples’, the artist focuses on the uses and functions of pedagogy and literacy, alongside the relationships between mother tongue, bilingualism and the complicated ecosystem that generates a situation of ‘in-betweenness’.

The exhibition is a co-production between Maumaus/Lumiar Cité and Artium Museoa-Museum of Contemporary Art of the Basque Country. An artist book, co-produced by both organisations, which brings together documentation of artworks combined with an essay by Mirene Arsanios, will be launched at the opening.

Alejandro Cesarco (Montevideo, Uruguay, 1975) lives and works in New York and Madrid. Cesarco is the director of Art Resources Transfer (New York), a non-profit organisation focused primarily on the free distribution of art books to underserved communities across the US. His work has been presented in international institutions, including Museum of Modern Art (New York, 2023), Kunsthalle Basel (2021), Kunstinstituut Melly (Rotterdam, 2019), The Renaissance Society (Chicago, 2017), SculptureCenter (New York, 2017), Midway Contemporary Art (Minneapolis, 2015) and Kunsthalle Zürich (2013).
