Itziar Barrio

Itziar Barrio is an interdisciplinary artist producing long-term, research-based projects that involve different agents and collaborators. By rewriting the dominant narratives through which our societies, identities, and realities are constructed, her work opens up new futures. Barrio has recently been awarded a 2024 Guggenheim Fellowship in Film and Video and a 2024 NYFA/NYSCA Artist Fellowship. Her survey exhibition was curated by Johanna Burton in 2018, and her monograph was published by SKIRA in 2023. Barrio’s work has been presented internationally at the 14th Shanghai Biennale, Salt Istanbul, Onassis ONX, e-flux, PARTICIPANT INC, MACRO, MACBA, Museo del Banco de la República, tranzit Romania, and Havana Biennial. She has been a New Museum’s NEW INC (art and echnology incubator) member since 2020 and has received awards from Brooklyn Arts Council, NYC Department of Cultural Affairs, Foundation for Contemporary Arts, the Spanish Ministry of Culture, and Spanish Academy in Rome, among others. Barrio’s work has been written about in The Brooklyn Rail, BOMB, ARTFORUM, Art in America, The New York Times, ART PAPERS, and other publications. She has lectured internationally, most recently in the Whitney Museum’s Independent Study Program and at Harvard University.
