Felipe Meres’ photographs, films and sculptures explore relationships between structures of meaning and the indeterminate matter that ceaselessly evades their grasp. Whether probing the limits of imaging technologies, or charting the social life of materials, Meres’ work invites the viewer to reconsider the patterns of difference we create to make sense of and regulate the objects, bodies and behaviors that surround us. Born in Brazil in 1988, Meres has had solo exhibitions at Mendes Wood DM in São Paulo in 2017 and at COMPANY Gallery in New York in 2016. His work has been presented at GAMeC in Bergamo, Italy; Cisneros Fontanals Art Foundation, FL; Lisa Cooley, NY and Galeria Triângulo in São Paulo, Brazil. He was artist-in-residency at ArtCenter/South Florida, FL and Escola de Verão, Capacete, Rio de Janeiro. He holds an MFA from the Milton Avery School of the Arts at Bard College, NY and is a PhD candidate in Anthropology at The New School, NY. He was the recipient of the 2016 Cisneros Fontanals Art Foundation Grants & Commissions Award and of the 10th Tom of Finland Foundation Emerging Artist Grand Prize.
