Biography

 

Mexican artist born in Uruapan, Michoacán, in 1962. With an active career spanning more than thirty years, Javier Marín has exhibited individually on more than ninety occasions and has participated in more than two hundred collective exhibitions in Mexico, the United States and Canada, as well as in countries in Central America, South America, Asia, and Europe.

 

Javier Marín’s work conceives an integral human being, analyzing the creative process based on the construction and deconstruction of three-dimensional forms. In addition to sculpture, he now includes drawing and photography among his central disciplines.

 

Some venues of his exhibitions have been Place du Louvre, un Paris (2018); The San Diego Museum of Art in California (2018); MUDEC Museo delle Culture in Milan (2018); Pinacoteca Comunale Casa Rusca, in Locarno, Switzerland (2016); Museo d’Arte Contemporanea Roma Testaccio, in Rome (2013–2014); Les Musées royaux des Beaux-Arts de Belgique, in Brussels (2010); Museo di Palazzo Reale, in Milan (2008–2009); Bass Museum of Art, in Miami Beach (2006–2007); Museo Colonial and Museo Santa Clara, both in Bogota (2006); Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de Oaxaca (2006); Museo Amparo, in Puebla (2005); Espace Pierre Cardin, in Paris (2000); Museo del Palacio de Bellas Artes, in Mexico City (1996); Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de Monterrey, Mexico (1993); and the Museo de Arte Álvar y Carmen T. de Carrillo Gil, in Mexico City (1990), among many others. As an overview of the thirty years of his career, the exhibition Corpus Terra was presented in the Antiguo Colegio de San Ildefonso anPalacio de Iturbide, in Mexico City (2015–2016).

 

His work is part of major public and private collections in Mexico and abroad, including that of the Museo de Arte Moderno and Museo de la Secretaría de Hacienda y Crédito Público, in Mexico City; Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de Monterrey; Museo del Barro, in Caracas; Santa Barbara Museum of Art, in California; Museum of Fine Arts, in Boston; Boca Raton Museum of Art and Latin American Museum, in Florida; and also in the Blake-Purnell Collection, in New York; Costantini Collection in the Museo de Arte Latinoamericano de Buenos Aires; Ersel Collection, in Turin; and the Art Collection of the Prince of Monaco.

 

 

Some of his public projects and exhibitions, have been held in spaces such as the Plaza Lange Voorhout, in The Hague (2010); Piazza del Duomo, Chiesa e Chiostro di Sant’Agostino, in Pietrasanta (2008); Casa de América in Madrid, on the main façade of which he created the monumental work Chalchihuites (2007); Convento de San Francisco de Asís, in Havana (2006); Plaza Juárez and the Ex Templo de Corpus Christi, in Mexico City (2005); Church of Santa Catarina, in Lithuania (2003), and the Espace Bellevue, in Biarritz (2001). He has been invited to participate at international events, such as the Exhibition for the World Art Treasures, the opening exhibition of the China Art Museum, Shanghai (2012). In addition, his work has been exhibited twice in the Venice Biennale: on the Larga Ascensione at the entrance to the Piazza de San Marco, in the 49th Biennale (2001); and at the Sala Santo Tommaso, Campo dei Santi Giovanni e Paolo, in the 50th Biennale (2003).

 

Javier Marín has received various prizes and recognitions, including First Prize at the Third International Beijing Biennale (2008), from a shortlist of artists he was assigned to create the main altarpiece and presbytery of the Zacatecas Cathedral Basilica (2010). In recognition of his itinerant exhibition De 3 en 3, which traveled to seven cities in Europe (Pietrasanta, Milan, The Hague, Brussels, La Baule-Escoublac, Luxemburg and Rome), the Queen of the Netherlands granted him the title of Knight of the Order of Orange-Nassau (2009).
