Carlos Colín (b Guadalaja ra\, Jalisco\, Mexico in 1980) Grew up in Mexico City. He studied Visual Co mmunication and Design (2000-2004)\, and holds an MFA at the National Schoo l of Fine Art (UNAM) (2009-2011)\, in Mexico City. He recently completed a second MFA at the University of British Columbia (UBC) in Vancouver\, BC (2 011-2013).
His research consists in investigating how contemporary ar t\, artists\, and art institutions are involved in current social movements and\, by extension\, how art contributes to social change and social activ ism in Latin American. As a Latin American artist\, Carlos Colín brings per spectives on the discourse of how art evolves inside societies\, how it fin ds expressions\, and how art changes over time\, as well as the implication s this has for Latin America.
Down on the Corner looks at th e pre-existing social and public space as a larger conversation within whic h artwork can circulate.
Located in the window space of Gene coffee s hop\, on the corner of Main St and Kingsway in Vancouver. Down on the Corne r invites artists to utilize the space considering its physicality and loca tion\, creating work or interventions that integrate the coffee shop’s envi ronment and architecture.
