Bio here:
Pedro Lasch sees his role as an artist, educator, and cultural producer as a cohesive whole, which develops within specific social situations and exists within and outside of conventional art settings. A preoccupation with the theory and practice of a socially engaged art, which is rooted in daily exchanges, has led him to the formulation of an aesthetics based on public interventions, social interactions, games, and temporal rearrangements. In addition to his individual work in a wide range of disciplines including drawing, painting, video, installation and performance, he leads on-going projects with immigrant communities and art collectives, such as 16 Beaver Group.
His work has been shown internationally at both alternative and mainstream institutions such as, Sean Kelly Gallery, The Baltimore Museum of Art, The Queens Museum of Art, The Walker Art Center, MASS MoCA, The Nasher Museum of Art (U.S.A), Baltic: The Centre for Contemporary Art and The Royal College of Art (England), ACC Gallery & Stiftung Federkiel (Germany), The Contemporary Art Center (Lithuania), Casa Lamm, Centro Arte Alameda, Centro Nacional de las Artes (Mexico), The Singapore Art Museum (Singapore), and The Gwangju Biennial (South Korea), among others. Appearing in numerous exhibition catalogues and edited collections, his art and writings have also been published and reviewed in specialized journals across disciplines, such as October Magazine, Saber Ver, Art Forum, ARTnews, Cultural Studies, and Rethinking Marxism, as well as diverse and international news media like The New York York Times, The Philadelphia Weekly, El Diario de México, El Universal, and La Jornada. He has received awards, recognitions, and support from the Joan Mitchell Foundation, the Dedalus Foundation, The Lily Auchincloss Foundation, The Greenwall Foundation, The Jerome Foundation, and Asociación Tepeyac de New York. He is represented by LUXE Gallery in New York City.
Lasch was born and raised in Mexico City, and has since lived in New York (NY) and Durham, (NC), where he is an Assistant Professor of the Practice in the Department of Art, Art History, and Visual Studies at Duke University. He is a former Duke Latino/a Studies Director and present Community Liaison. Having served on multiple juries and selection committees, such as the 2008 Full Frame Documentary Festival, he is also a board member of the North Carolina Arts Council (2007-2010), the Chiapas Media Project/Promedios (2007-present), and Mexicanos Unidos de Queens (2006-present).
