Born in Madrid, Spain, 1997
Lives in Paris, France
Javier Carro Temboury (Madrid, 1997) takes a special interest in the processual and social aspects of sculpture. Through the found object, notably in ceramics, he explores the social reception of technologies and their different local developments.
His exhibition cycle “Café Transversal” brings together social interaction and sculpture in a series of performances specifically imagined for each venue in which it takes place. The project has recently been commissioned by the Centro de Arte de Alcobendas, Madrid; the Musée d’Art Moderne et Contemporain MAMC+ in Saint-Étienne; in Pech, Vienna; the Palais d’Iéna, Paris and the Villa Belleville, Paris. His work will soon be the subject of a permanent commission in a residential building in Montreuil, France.
He lives between Madrid and Paris, where he maintains close ties after graduating from the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts. After receiving the jury’s congratulations, in 2022 he was awarded the ASA residency at the Akademie der Bildende Künste in Vienna. In the same year, he received the Joseph Ebstein Sculpture Prize (Fondation de France) and the “Felicité des Felicités” award (Fondation des Amis des Beaux-Arts), and one of his sculptures became part of the collections of L’École des Beaux-Arts in Paris.
