#42 with Gerardo Camargo

Welcome back to ARTMATTERS: The Podcast for Artists. 

On today’s episode we speak with visual artist, Gerardo Camargo.

I joined Gerardo in his studio where we discussed his drawings and assemblages, and the choreography of home-construction. We also speak about limitation, scarcity, uncertainty and the ways Gerardo’s studio practice and perspectives shifted after he emigrated to the United States.  

Gerardo is a self-taught artist from Mexico City. He began working as a cartoonist at the age of 12. In 2002 he was saelected by the Mexican National Council for Culture and the Arts as a Promising Emerging Artist. In 2004, he co-founded Zarco Gallery, an independent space for contemporary art in Cuernavaca His work has been shown in galleries and museums in Mexico and the United States. Gerardo lives and works in Washington, D.C.
