Felipe Mujica
Felipe Mujica (Santiago, Chile, 1974) studied art at the Universidad Católica de Chile. Just out of art school in 1997, he co-founded the artist-run space Galería Chilena (GCH), which operated between 1997 and 2005, first as a nomadic and commercial art gallery and later as a collaborative art project, a curatorial “experiment”. In parallel with and in relation to his work, he has organized and produced many collaborative projects, mostly exhibitions and the design and publication of books. After 23 years of living and working in New York City, he recently relocated to Brussels, where he co-founded Skinny Dipping, a chameleonic artist-run project with Fabiola Burgos Labra.
Mujica has had solo shows at the Paul Hughes Fine Arts, Maiden Bradley, Industriemuseum, Ghent, OSMOS Address, New York, La Tallera, Cuernavaca, Museo de Artes Visuales UC, Santiago de Chile, Pérez Art Museum Miami, Museo de Arte Moderno de Medellín, Galería Gabriela Mistral, Santiago de Chile, Galerie von Bartha, Basel, Museo Experimental El Eco, Mexico City, Proyectos Ultravioleta, Ciudad de Guatemala (2-person), The Shop - Vitamin Creative Space, Beijing, and Die Ecke Arte Contemporáneo, Santiago.
