Enrique Ramírez
Biography
Born in 1979 in Santiago (Chile). Lives and works between Paris and Santiago.
Enrique Ramírez is a Chilean artist who graduated from Le Fresnoy. His films, installations and photographs, full of poetry, question history and the contemporary world, with the sea as a recurring element in his creations. The works of Enrique Ramírez are like the symbol of a fragile glow, which refers to the state of the world, helping us to understand the challenges of humanity. The frontality of his images, the way they seize us due to the luminous proximity of a body or a sail floating on the surface of the water; a drifting cross pointing to the sky, establish the possibility of a touch, sensitive, almost perceptible. Enrique Ramírez manages to absorb a part of his surroundings, his environment, and holds us in the splendour of the images: emotion, feeling and presence come to occupy the space, highlighting it.
Enrique Ramírez's work has been exhibited at International Pavillion at the 57th Venice Biennial, 7th edition of Daegu Photo Biennial (South Korea) ; Centre Pompidou (Paris) ; Jeu de Paume (Paris) ; Center for Contemporary Art (Tel Aviv) ; Museo Amparo (Mexico) ; Galerie de l'UQAM (Montreal) ; Centro Cultural MATTA (Buenos Aires) ; Centro Nacional de arte Contemporaneo (Santiago) ; Palais de Tokyo (Paris) ; Museo de la Memoria (Santiago) ; Kadist (San Franciso) ; Museo de Bellas Artes (Santiago) ; Video Art in Latin America from Getty Research Institute (Los Angeles) ; Fondazione Ragghianti (Lucca) ; Kunstraum Kreuzberg (Berlin) ; Musée des Beaux-Arts (Dunkerque).
He was nominated for the Marcel Duchamp Prize, SAM prize and the Meurice Prize. He won the Discover prize of Amis du Palais de Tokyo & Beyond Memory Prize for the Brises video.
His work is part of prestigious collections as Pinault Collection (Paris) ; MoMA (New York) ; Kadist Art Foundation (San Francisco) ; Musée national de l'histoire de l'immigration (Paris) ; MAC-VAL (Vitry) ; Pérez Art Museum (Miami) ; Museo Ampáro (Puebla) ; The Ama Foundation, Fundación Engel (USA), Collection Itaú cultural (São Paulo), Museo de la Memoria y los Derechos Humanos (Santiago) ; Fonds d'art contemporain - Paris Collections, FRAC (PACA, Marseilles ; Bretagne, Rennes ; Nouvelle-Aquitaine MÉCA, Bordeaux).
