Daniel González was born in Argentina in 1963; he lives and works in New York and Verona (Italy).
Read MoreHis work results from the research into celebration rites and cross-boundaries and it takes many forms: public projects, so called "ephemeral architectures" inspired by baroque celebratory machines, sequined banner-painting and wearable one-off pieces exhibited in high-impact performances. González creates irrational and energetic worlds, areas of freedom in which existing conventions collapse.
In 2019 González presents #whatsupargentina Mi Casa Tu Casa, a major retrospective focused on his ephemeral architectures in MAR Museo in Mar del Plata (Argentina) and he makes "Mi Casa Tu Casa", a huge site-specific ephemeral architecture during Manifesta 12 Palermo collaterals. Of the same year is "KayCasaMaisonHome" for the XXII Esposizione internazionale della triennale di Milano. In 2019 he is shortlisted for a site-specific work to be placed in Humboldt Forum inside Berlin Castle. In 2017 the artist receives the Pollock Krasner Foundation (New York City) international grant.
Among the others, he exhibited in Zabludowicz Collection (London), Musée d'Art Contemporain de Bordeaux, in the Pinakothek der Moderne in Munich (DE), in El Museo del Barrio (New York, 2011 Latino-America Biennial show), in Viafarini (Milan) and Marsèlleria (Milan), in Neuer Kunstverein (Aachen, DE), in Prague Biennial, Manifesta 7 South Tyrol and in the following art galleries: Studio La Città (Verona), Diana Lowenstein (Miami, USA), Boccanera Gallery (Trient, IT) and Spencer Brownstone (New York City). He produced site-specific ephemeral architectures for MACO Mexico, Mexico City, Witte de With Festival in Rotterdam, Juliet's House Museum (Verona), Santo Spirito in Sassia (Rome) and The Chocolate Factory Foundation (Tessin, CH).
