Mario Camacho

Mario Camacho

Mario Camacho is an environmental installations artist, based in New York, NY. Born in Cochabamba, Bolivia, he immigrated with his family to Washington DC in 1984. He attended the Corcoran College of Art and Design in Washington DC, but then found more promise in the art community of New York City and finished his training at the School of Visual Arts.

His artwork is heavily process- and material-driven. After university, he took up an interest in traditional Dutch-style wood construction techniques (using only wood; no nails or screws). He employed these techniques to build installation pieces shown in galleries throughout Williamsburg, Brooklyn. He also has a reputation for applying objet trouvé approaches (originally pioneered by artists such as Marcel Duchamp) to chemical materials that have formed over decades of disuse.)
