Juan Aizpitarte lives and works in San Sebastian, Spain. He obtained his DNSEP (Master’s) at the Bordeaux School of Fine Arts in 1988. Over the last few years he has exhibited at the Torrance Art Museum in Los Angeles, at the MA Studio in China, at the Cervantes Institute in Madrid, at the Cultural Centre in Pau, and at the La Panera Art Centre in Lleida, La Nave in Seville and the Abisal in Bilbao, all in Spain.
“Juan Aizpitarte makes use of many different practices where there is a dialogue between objects, images, installations, photographs, sounds, models, the world of skiing, social motifs and methods of communication. He sees his interventions like experimental zones which produce encounters, exchanges and approaches with an ever-changing world. He fits into various cultural projects like an element of questioning and re-activation. He creates situations, working at the centre and on the sidelines, and alters our perception of strategies used for representing reality.”
