Adrián S. Bará (b.1982, Mexico City) lives and works in New York. His practice, at its core, explores the body and its relation to space and modern architecture, as well as its representation at the intersection between sculpture, installation and painting. The artist’s training as a filmmaker drives his narrative— pulling in from daily materials and positions to construct ‘sculpted situations’ that are meant to be activated by viewers as they project their own accounts into the objects that invite them to do so. Bará’s artwork often functions as archival traces of events—as stories that are meant to be intervened, challenged, and transformed through acts of looking.

Bará has exhibited his work in solo and group exhibitions at venues such as ArtCenter / South Florida, Museo de Arte de Zapopan, Kasmin in New York, Casey Kaplan in New York, Travesía Cuatro in Guadalajara, and PEANA. In film, he was director of photography for the documentary The Solitude of Memory, which was included in the Cannes Film Festival in 2015. Bará has completed residencies at the International Studio & Curatorial Program (ISCP), PIVÓ, Casa Wabi and KinoSaito Residency in New York. His works are part of private and public collections such as: Isabel and Agustín Coppel Collection, Diéresis Collection, Gaia Collection, Imago Mundi Collection, Sayago & Pardon Collection and Suro Collection."
