Alessandro Balteo-Yazbeck has developed
a hybrid practice since the mid-nineties that
incorporates the activities of a researcher,
archivist, historian, and curator. His produc-
tions formally resemble or incorporate the
works of others, stressing notions of author-
ship and cultural authority. His entangled
narratives are motivated by sociopolitical
questions involving gaps in collective knowl-
edge or misrepresentations in the public
record, often focusing on the importance of
propaganda as a political strategy. Born in
1972, Balteo-Yazbeck earned a degree in Fine
Arts in his native city, Caracas, Venezuela,
where he has exhibited his work. Dans 2000, il
moved his practice to New York and later, dans
2010, to Berlin.
