About

Why this artist matters now

David Lamelas works across sculpture and film, rooted in a Conceptual practice that took shape within Argentina's experimental avant-garde of the 1960s. His work has long interrogated time, space, and information as structural materials rather than subjects, treating the artwork as a system or situation rather than an object. Operating between Los Angeles, Buenos Aires, and Europe, Lamelas occupies a singular position in the history of postwar Conceptualism, bridging Latin American and international strands of the movement from its earliest formation.
