Felipe Dulzaides

Felipe Dulzaides is an artist who through experimental combinations of video, performance, sculpture, sound, photos, drawings, public art and installations explores a wide range of themes such as opportunity, the absurd, humor, encounters and perspectives. He has participated in several biennial events and international group exhibitions including the Kwangju Biennale, the Havana Biennial, Cage Effect at Hunter College (New York) and Unsaid/Spoken at Cisneros Fontanals Foundation (CIFO) in Miami and Bay Area Now at Yerba Buena Center for the Arts.
