Jordi Colomer

Jordi Colomer, born in Barcelona in 1962, is a Spanish artist who works in the field of sculpture, video-art and installations. At the heart of his work is the investigation of space: physical and real space and the space of performance and representation overlap in the mise-en-scène of the work, producing an experience defined by the artist as “expanded theatre”.

Colomer explores the Utopian nature of town planning in large cities, but at the same time presents the dystopic decadence and alienation connected to architecture: the existing space is also made up of disorder and entropy.

His works have been exhibited in international museums and biennials including: Museo Reina Sofia and Matadero (Madrid), Jeu de Paume et Centre Georges Pompidou (Paris), MUMOK and Belvedere 21(Vienna), Bronx Museum of the Arts (New York), Arte Alameda (México City), 7 Bienal del Mercosul (Porto Alegre, Brasil), MAAT (Lisboa), Bozar et Argos (Brussels) ZKU, Zentrum für Kunst und Urbanistik (Berlín). Colomer’s work has been shown in two Manifesta editions: Manifesta 10 (St. Petersburg, Russia), Manifesta 12 (Palermo, Italy).
