Mauro Giaconi is an Argentine artist and independent cultural manager based in Mexico City, working across drawing, sculpture, installation, and graphic intervention. His practice explores the tension between reality and appearance, creating fractures in perception that blend history and fiction while engaging concepts such as official history, instability, and resilience. Through these strategies, he proposes states that exist between fragility and strength, while more recent work investigates appearance and simulation as mechanisms of power, resistance, and survival within visual, historical, and political systems. His work has been widely exhibited internationally, including at Fundación Proa, Museo Universitario del Chopo, the Boulder Museum of Contemporary Art, and the Asphalt Festival, and featured in publications such as Vitamin D3 (Phaidon, 2021) and Remains Tomorrow (Hatje Cantz, 2022).
