BIOGRAPHY

Carolina Caycedo (b. 1978 London) creates art that discusses concepts of boundaries such as those between producers and consumers, professionals and amateurs, advantaged and disadvantaged and, ultimately, between art and society. Caycedo interacts with her counterparts depending on their willingness to participate in breaking out of old habits to knock down or better understand those boundaries.  Her varied projects range from street actions and itinerant markets to public marches and all spark dialogues with communities outside of the art world. Her works refer back to the culture and economy of the street and resists the commodification of art by turning to an economy based on bartering.

Selected exhibitions include the 2012 Paris Triennial, 2011 Living as Form at Creative Time, 2009 New Museum Generational, and 2006 Whitney Biennial in New York, 2010 To the Arts- Citizens! at Serralves Museum in Porto, 2009 Havana Biennial in Cuba, 2003 Venice Biennial and 2001 Istanbul Biennial. She has been invited to be the 2012 artist in residence at the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) in Berlin. She is represented by Instituto de Visión in Bogotá. Carolina Caycedo lives and works in Los Angeles.
