Alberto Borea
Alberto Borea (b. 1979, Lima, Peru) is a New York-based artist, whose works are developed around the difficult and dramatic relationship between cultures and political histories. Balancing past and present with an approach that can go from the particular to the general, he weaves life experience within these spaces. The role of distance in cultural, economic and social events constitute an important part in the process and execution of his works. Borea creates a personal mapping exercise on various media, around specific places, and specific events. For Borea, the map represents a symbol of identity for individuals, peoples, and cultures. All of these aspects include the demand of a proper place justified by a fair and impartial level of democratic principles.
His works has been exhibited internationally in countries such as the United States, Peru, Argentina, Germany, England and Spain. Upcoming exhibitions include, "The S-files" El Museo del Barrio, New York and Dublin Contemporary. Borea's works are included in the Fundacion Cisneros (CPPC), New York, MCS Collection, Madeira, Portugal and the Fondazione Benetton, Treviso, Italy.
