Asier Mendizabal

Born 1973 in Ordizia, Guipuzkoa, Spain
Lives and works in Bilbao, Spain

Asier Mendizabal’s work pays most attention to the relations between form, discourse and ideology and has been said to be related to the constructivist sculpture with its roots in the abstract utopia of the first decades of the 20th century. The question of the sign and its materiality and identification as a social and political emblem also has a place among the artist’s interests. Through sculpture, photography, video, textual or graphic works, Mendizabal gives a view on ideology based on the mise en scène of the concepts or structures shaped by it.
