Andrés Montes Zuluaga is an indisciplinary artist who approaches the body as plastic matter and art as an intensification of the sensitive. Explores the materiality of time in each of their works which last from a brief moment up to ten days. Reflects on the imprint and memory of the body and the event. Because they consider each piece as a topological object or as a self-contained universe with its own rules, their portfolio allows us to transit from action art to drama, expanded theatre, urban intervention, choreographic questions, performative conferences, videoart, photography, archive unfolding and sound art.
Their work has been shown in Colombia, Peru, Ecuador, Mexico, England, Italy and France.
Graduate in Theatre and Master in Theatre and Live Arts, they graduated from Cali’s Regional Department of Fine Arts and Bogotá’s National University of Colombia. They’ve received awards and grants from the city of Cali, the region of the Valle del Cauca and Colombia’s Ministry of Culture. They’ve collaborated with artists like Maud Madlyn, Emilio García Wehbi, José Alejandro Restrepo, Andrè Eric Letorneau, amongst others.
