Introducing the artist who tells the fable a wig keeps secret:
✹ 𝗥𝗼𝗴𝗲𝗿 𝗠𝘂ñ𝗼𝘇 𝗥𝗶𝘃𝗮𝘀 (1990, Costa Rica) is an artist based in Mexico City working across painting, sculpture, installation, video, drawing, and performance. His practice constructs objects, images, and environments in which the domestic, institutional, and grotesque contaminate one another, using hybridizations, collisions, and material displacements to explore authority, class, desire, shame, social aspiration, failure, belonging, and the everyday rituals through which power is rehearsed and reproduced. Often beginning with banal or apparently ridiculous elements such as wigs, lockers, palm trees, funeral furniture, uniforms, popular decoration, domestic crafts, television references, and damaged bodies, his work turns familiar forms into unstable carriers of memory, humiliation, fantasy, violence, and contradiction.
Muñoz Rivas has presented solo exhibitions at St. Chads and Des Bains Gallery in London; General Expenses and Ladrón Galería in Mexico City; Más Allá in Bogotá; and the Museum of Contemporary Art and Design in San José. He received the LISTE Art Fair Production Award in 2024, completed residencies at La Nueva Fábrica and Gasworks, and has co-curated exhibitions including The Joy of Living at Casa Mauad and Arte de Zorras at General Expenses.
