Simón Vega: Hot Capsules from the Cold War


Liliana Bloch Gallery

This exhibition will feature the Salvadorian artist Simón Vega's works from "Tropical Space Proyectos" (2011-ongoing), a series of sculptural objects, installations, photographs, and drawings which comment, through an ironic and humorous take on the Space Race, the effects of the Cold War on Central America. This new series of work also shows the artist's growing concern for spaceships and space stations as models of catastrophe escaping vehicles, and dystopian architecture. 

Born in San Salvador, El Salvador, Simón Vega graduated with a degree in Fine Arts from the University of Veracruz in Xalapa, Mexico in 2000, and received a Master's degree in Contemporary Arts from the Complutense University in Madrid, Spain, in 2006.
