Ian Deleón (b. 1987, Miami, 2nd generation Cuban/Brazilian)

"My current body of work may be best understood in terms of its allegorical relationship to archaeology, in which the meticulous uncovering, analyzing and restructuring of ‘media fossils’ allows me to better understand and critique the particular popular culture from which I have emerged. This (re)construction of images, sounds and text (strengthened by a background in film and video editing), provides me with an opportunity to re-examine mass media output through a variety of critical lenses, including: 'post'-colonial, materialist, cyberfeminist and futurist."

Ian Deleón received a BFA from the Studio for Interrelated Media (SIM) at the Massachusetts College of Art & Design in Boston in 2011.
