Jonathan Hernandez

The work of Jonathan Hernandez stands out for its critical and ironic yet reflexive posture about polemic issues of our contemporary world: the loss of meaning in common rites of communication, information, and mass culture. In his works, using collages, videos, and remakes, pop culture has a completely different reading which points to the possibilities of the many uses and interpretations our everyday images can have. His work has been shown in many individual and collective exhibitions such as Tráfago 2004, Kurimanzutto de Mexico D.F., Bon Voyage Centro de Arte Contemporáneo de Málaga 2003, En algún lugar alguien está viajando furiosamente hacia ti, La Casa Encendida in Madrid, Come Closer at the Künstlerhaus Bethanien in Berlin, FarSites: Urban Crisis & Domestic Symptoms in Recent Contemporary Art at the San Diego Museum of Art, Where to Draw the Line? at Arndt & Partner in Berlin, P.S. 1 in New York, Museo de Arte Moderno en México City and the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía.
