Andrés Jaque is an architect, writer and curator. His work explores the role architecture plays in the making of societies. In 2003, he founded the Office for Political Innovation,[1] a trandisciplinary agency working in the intersection of design, research and environmental activism.[2] In 2014, he won the Silver Lion to the Best Research Project at the 14th Venice Biennale. In 2016, he was awarded with the 10th Frederick Kiesler Prize, the most respected prize recognizing creators working in the intersection of art and architecture.[3]
Life and career
Jaque is the author of award-winning architectural projects, including the Reggio School (El Encinar de los Reyes, 2020), the Ocean Space for Thyssen-Bornemisza Contemporary Art (Venice, 2018), Casa Sacerdotal Diocesana de Plasencia; 2004. Teddy House (Vigo, 2003, 2005), Mousse City, (Stavanger, 2003); Peace Foam City (Ceuta, 2005); Skin Gardens (Barcelona2006); the Museo Postal de Bogotá (Bogotá, 2007), Rolling House for the Rolling Society (Barcelona, 2009); the House in Never Never Land (Ibiza, 2009); the ESCARAVOX, (Madrid, 2012), Hänsel and Gretel's Arenas (Madrid, 2013), Shading Devices and Gathering Space for MasdarinAbu Dhabi; Weizmann Square in Holon, COSMO PS1 in New York, Rómola (Madrid, 2018) and RunRunRun (Madrid, 2019).
He has also developed a number of architectural experiments meant to interrogate architecture's political agency. The 12 Actions to Make Peter Eisenman Transparent, 2010,[4] a project to make visible, and easy to understand for general public, the political implications of the construction of the singular building site Cidade da Cultura in Santiago de Compostela. A series of actions described by Bruno Latour as a «beautiful mixture of art, politics and building-site».[5]
His 2012 intervention in the Barcelona Pavilion, ‘PHANTOM. Mies as Rendered Society’[6] made visible all the processes involved in the daily fabrication of the pavilion as an ordinary reality. Buckets, flags, chairs, old faded curtains, the salt that keeps the ponds pristine or the result of failed experiments carried out at the pavilion, were kept at the so far unnoticed basement. This work is part of the collection of the Art Institute of Chicago, an it is at shown as part of its permanent exhibition.
His work 'IKEA Disobedients' (Madrid, New York 2012) was the first architectural performance to be included in the MoMA's collection.[7]
He is the Chief Curator of the 13th Shanghai Art Biennale, titled ‘Bodies of Water’, and co-curator of Manifesta 12 in Palermo, ‘The Planetary Garden. Cultivating Coexistence’.
