Portrait by Jacobo Parra 2024©
Aarón Eivet is a multidisciplinary artist whose practice encompasses sculpture, installation, and public art. His work explores the intersection between contemporary mythologies and collective identity, often incorporating elements of popular culture reimagined through a critical and poetic lens. Eivet’s pieces have been exhibited in cultural institutions in Mexico and abroad, and he has developed public art projects that engage with urban memory and social narratives. His approach is rooted in a dialogic process, inviting the audience to participate in a reconfiguration of cultural symbols.
His work spans kitsch, humor, and the aesthetic memory inherited from pop culture. In recent years, he has explored practices such as recycling, appropriation, and tributes to iconic figures from mass culture—film, music, and television. In music, he develops various projects under the alias Randy Salazar Jr. He has presented his work in Mexico, Brazil, the United States, Japan, and France.
Artist Statement
Contemporary art involves asking questions—it challenges ways of making, methods, and processes. It is an interstitial space of exchange and communication.
My research stems from the intimate, the landscape, the vestige, and the territory. I aim to dissolve the boundaries between theories, forms, and methods by revoking them, and from that act, generate new formulations.
