CV. IVAN CACERES/ BIOGRAFIA/ TEXTO DE ARTISTA
Iván Cáceres
Architect and Visual Artist Born in La Paz, Bolivia.
He holds a degree from the Faculty of Architecture, Urbanism, and Arts at the Universidad Mayor de
San Andrés, Bolivia. Since 1998, he has held national and international exhibitions, focusing on the
investigation of architecture and emerging art through various contemporary philosophical lenses.
I create worlds saturated with psychological unrealities born of dreams—devoid of narrative context—
using audiovisual media in multiple formats. I approach the concept of "ground" as a radical
observation of a territory—its dust, winds, tragedies, wonders, and the dreams that weigh upon that
profound entity we call the ground. Recent exhibitions and achievements include: Solo exhibition *SICK
DREAMS*, NEO Gallery, La Paz, Bolivia (2026); Pro Helvetia South America grant recipient (Atelier
Mondial residency, Basel, Switzerland, 2026); Pro Helvetia South America grant recipient (Switzerland-
Bolivia co-creation, Geneva, 2024); Performance at FMAC Geneva, Espace Kugler, and Utopiana
(international artist residency, Geneva, 2024); SAE Residency, Uruguay (2024); Group exhibition, Galería
Metropolitana, Santiago, Chile (2024); Selected for the Santa Cruz Biennial, Bolivia (2023); SACO
Biennial, Antofagasta, Chile (2023); 13th Mercosur Biennial, Porto Alegre, Brazil (2022, curated by
Marcello Dantas); Telemark Art Center, Skien, Norway; Bolivia Kunstraum Gallery LLC, New York
("Possible Territory," 2022); Urra Residency, Buenos Aires, Argentina (2019); Solo exhibition, Oswald de
Andrade Cultural Center, São Paulo, Brazil (2018); *ADAM* exhibition, Dot Fiftyone Gallery, Miami, USA
(2018); Solo exhibition, Nube Gallery, Santa Cruz, Bolivia (2018); SIART Biennial, Bolivia (2011). He has
