In his multidisciplinary practice, Carlos Motta (b. 1978) documents the social conditions and political struggles of sexual, gender, and ethnic minority communities to challenge normative discourses through visibility and representation. As a historian of untold narratives and an archivist of repressed histories, Motta is committed to in-depth research on the struggles of post-colonial subjects and societies. His work manifests in a variety of mediums including video, installation, sculpture, drawing, web-based projects, performance, and symposia. Motta received his MFA from Bard College and completed the Whitney Independent Study Program in 2006. He has received grants from Arts Impact Initiative x Creative Time, 2023; Art Matters, 2008; NYSCA, 2010; the Creative Capital Foundation, 2012; and the Kindle Project, 2012. His work has been the subject of survey exhibitions including Carlos Motta: Formas de libertad at the Museo de Arte Moderno de Medellín, Colombia in 2017, which traveled to Matucana100, Santiago, Chile in 2018, and Carlos Motta: For Democracy There Must Be Love, Röda Sten Konsthall, Gothenburg, Sweden, 2015. Motta debuted his first multichannel sound installation at his 2022 solo survey exhibition Your Monsters, Our Idols at the Wexner Center of the Arts, Columbus, OH. His work is in the permanent collections of the Art Institute of Chicago, IL; Centre Pompidou, Paris, France; the Guggenheim Museum, New York, NY; the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, NY; the Museum of Modern Art, New York, NY; Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofia, Madrid, Spain; Museo de Arte Contemporaneo de Barcelona, Barcelona, Spain; and Museo de Arte de Banco de la República, Bogotá, Columbia; Pérez Art Museum, Miami, FL; San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, San Francisco, CA; among others. In 2019, Motta was appointed tenure-track Associate Professor of Interdisciplinary Practice at Pratt Institute’s Fine Arts Department. Carlos Motta: History’s Backrooms, a 20-year career monograph, was published by SKIRA in June 2020. In the fall of 2023, Motta presented Jjagɨyɨ: Air of Life at P·P·O·W in collaboration with Elio Miraña, ELO, Gil Farekatde Maribba, Higinio Bautista, Kiyedekago, Rosita, and Yoí nanegü, marking his third show with the gallery. His work is currently part of Marco Scotini’s Disobedience Archive at the sixtieth Venice Biennale. Motta will be the subject of a mid-career survey exhibition at Museu d’Art Contemporani de Barcelona, Spain in 2025.
