b. 1967 in Caracas, Venezuela / Lives and works in Antwerpen, Belgium
Ricardo Alcaide (b. 1967, Venezuela) examines constructed lived-in environments. His minimal aesthetic is influenced by modernist architecture and his site specific works reflect on the social implications of urban planning and ghettoization. The artist currently lives and works in Belgium and has exhibited internationally, including participation in solo shows Holding the Horizon, Dimensions Variable, Miami (2020); So What?, Arroniz Arte Contemporaneo, Mexico City (2020); Displacement at Alejandra Von Hartz Gallery, Miami (2015), One Phenomena Among Others at Baró Galeria, Sao Paolo (2015) and Incidental Geometry at Project Room-Josee Bienvenu Gallery, New York (2014).
