Gabriel Mestre Arrioja (México, 1974) is a self-taught artist and independent curator who has focused his projects on the critical exploration of the relationships between locality and globality. Mestre collaborates with composers and choreographers to incorporate dance and music to activate his installations, investigating the temporality of his geo-anthro-techno-pological objects.
Since 2002, Mestre has presented his work in museums and institutions in Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Iceland, Finland, the Baltic States, Russia, Poland, Germany, the UK, Canada and Japan. Recent exhibitions include: Espacio México, Montreal; Museo Morelense de Arte Contemporáneo Juan Soriano, Cuernavaca, México.; and at Cabaret Voltaire, Zurich. Among others, Mestre has been a guest lecturer at the Reykjavik Art Museum, Iceland and a guest lecturer at the Tromsø Art Academy, Norway.
