Jorge Miño

(b. 1973, Corrientes, Argentina) Jorge Miño studied at the “Escuela del Arte Carlos Morel” as well as attending various different photography and film seminars. His knowledge is portrayed in his meticulous manipulation and control of the photograph. The artist continually evolves his work by constructing and deconstructing his perception of the world through the point of view of urban architecture in its material and human aspects. Miño places architecture at the centre of his practice, an “icon of culture”, he calls it, “of innovation or social decadence”. He uses this imagery to create dreamlike landscapes and compositions the spectator can imagine inhabiting. Some of Miño’s most important recognitions and exhibitions include: First Price at the Salón Nacional de Rosario, 2007, Second Prize for Photography and Science from the Centro Cultural Recoleta, 2006; as well as solo and collective shows at the Museo de Arte Moderno de Buenos Aires (MAMBA) and participating in the Curitiba Biennial, Brazil.
