Born 1972 in Caracas, Venezuela
Alessandro Balteo Yazbecks work is informed by historic conceptual art. His approach highlights the notion of collaborative authorship by explicitly quoting, incorporating or making reference to the work of other artists, curators and historians. He uses exhibition design as a medium to create an aura of curatorial authority for his work. He works between Caracas and New York since 2000. In 2008, Balteo Yazbeck had his first U.S. major solo exhibition at the Carpenter Center at Harvard University.
