Artista: Jorge Dragón
Málaga (Spain), 1956. Dragón’s highly critical artwork in photography and multi-media has progressively focused on the relationships between different disciplines and socio-cultural exchanges in the post-industrial age. His projects surface as explorations of historical and political contexts, channels of information and social relations, with special emphasis on the problems of immigration, racism, the Palestinian-Israeli conflict and other adversity stemming from colonizing processes, for which the artist has employed a wide array of imaging systems, from photographs to video-installations and cybernetic developments. Among his most noteworthy exhibitions are Arquitectura Funeraria, Colegio Oficial de Arquitectos, Málaga, 1995; Libro de las Horas, Monasterio de la Veruela, Tarazona Foto, 1998; PalabradeWord +Addenda – Foto Grafías, Sala Moreno Villa, Málaga; The Shelter (Project), Gal. Anadiel, Jerusalem, both in 2000; and Presunciones y Apariencias – El Coleccionista de miradas (together with Carlos Canal), Centro Andaluz de Arte Contemporáneo, Seville, 2002.
