| Short Bio: |
Working in photography and video installation, Juan delGado’s work refers to social and cultural representations of sexuality, gender, and disability in the Western society. Born in Spain, delGado studied art in Valencia (Spain) and an MA in Media Arts at the University of Westminster. He lives and works in London since 1994. |
| Additional Comments: |
In his early work delGado uses photography to explore how our culture has historically established a binary system of categorisation of gender, male and female. In Transformers (1991-95), and The Sexual Androgyne (1994-96), he photographed people who ‘transgress norms of appearance and behaviour’ in order to challenge our perceptions of gender representation. Also, he was commissioned to make a 3D artwork, the photo/sound installation Sorry, i can’t talk to you now, for Trongate Studios, Glasgow, on the subject of agoraphobia.
In 1997, delGado began to experiment with moving image and installation. Artists such as Isaac Julien, Shirin Neshat, and Jean Genet are of great influence in his work. He directed the experimental film The Passion of Teresa, in which develops his own style in a clear homage to the surrealist filmmaker Luis Buñuel focusing the tradition of representation of religious images in Spain. The film was selected at the 3rd Disability Film Festival, and the Portobello Film Festival 2001, and Tampere International Film Festival, Finland, 2002.
He also worked on The Wounded Image (1997-2001), a photographic project in which he explores the blurred line between fact and fictional narrative. By addressing one of what he thinks it has become a myth of our age, the fascination with violence, and drawing upon traumatic experiences, he attempts to raise questions of how we relate to issues of domestic violence and child abuse. This work was selected at the John Kobal Photographic Portraiture Awards in 1997 and has been exhibited in the Galeria Luis Adelantado, Spain alongside other artists such as Kim Sooja and Orlan, and the Stills Gallery, Edinburgh. This work will be presented by Elizabeth Cowie at the International Conference about “Psychoanalysis & Creativity”, playing on both the political and psychoanalytical notions of resistance and the role of the unconscious.
In 2002 he was awarded an artist-in-residence at the Wellcome Trust and a New Media Bursary by the organisation Artsadmin (London) to develop ideas on representation of madness and creativity.
In collaboration with the London Metropolitan University and as part of the Artists Access to Arts Schools scheme delGado produced flêches sans corps (Arrows Without Bodies), a multimedia installation which deals with the traumatic experience of the so-called ‘illegal’ immigrants. The subject of trauma was also explored in his video performance Who are you entertaining to? produced at the Vivid Media Centre, Birmingham as part of the LabCulture programme coordinated by PVA.
He is currently developing a new project entitled You said something to me? drawing upon ideas of displacement, environmental issues and war.
