Eduardo Ribera Salvatierra BlueBox: enero 2010

My name is Eduardo Ribera Salvatierra, I am an architect and a self-taught visual artist.As an architect I feel my life is a construction and, as an artist, I live my life as a performance.I did not study at a fine arts academy, I was not friends with established artists and I did not have sex with curators or gallery owners. I was a outsider.I did not have access to the official art scene in my country so I expressed myself in the streets. Since 2000, and for three years, my work took over the city; it was intense and controversial. I attracted curators' attention but they did not know to whom the work belonged because I sign it with a pseudonym: BlueBox.My work moved to galleries, biennials, and competitions. It grew over time until my pseudonym became my first name. I hate that.Now curators, gallerists, and artists are interested in my work and I now work with them. Some times I hate them.One of my most controversial pieces was a performance entitled:“Till Death Do Us Part” in which I married another artist named Daniela Meneses as a performance for the international biennial SIART 07. Curator Cecilia Baya Botti give me away at the altar and the reception was held at the National Museum of Art. The priest who married us and the Catholic Church were not aware that this marriage was a performance piece for a biennial and they did not know that Daniela and I are gay.Controversy and reflection are the ingredients for most of my work. I try to build a strong tie between artists, curators, and institutions and present works of art that convey reflections on taboo subjects.
