IOSU ARAMBURU AWARDED MoMA’S ARTIST RESEARCH FELLOWSHIP 2021
The Peruvian artist, represented by the 80M2 Livia Benavides gallery, won one of the three gramts presented each year by the Cisnero’s Research Institute for the Study of Art from Latin America, established by the Museum of Modern Art in 2016 to support new research by artists, curators and scholars.
The work of Iosu Aramburu (born in Lima in 1986) revolves around modernity as an aesthetic, architectural and philosophical paradigm. From the reinterpretations of modern languages, Aramburu seeks to question the failures of the modern project. He explores abstraction and modernist architecture, using its elements as a starting point. From the materiality of his work, the artist reduces the totalitarian impetus of modern art and recovers aesthetic patterns so that he has a critical angle to the paradigm of modernity.
He studied at the School of Art of the Pontifical Catholic University of Peru, where he graduated from the specialty of painting with honors. He has participated in residencies in Triangle-France (Marseille) and at the Fonderie Darling (Montreal). In 2018 he won the ICPNA Award (Lima) and the Plaza Paz Soldán National Contest.
