Hector Canonge, USA
Core Artist

Hector Canonge is an American interdisciplinary artist, curator, cultural producer, and educator. Born in Argentina, Canonge spent his childhood in Bolivia, South America, and grew up in the United States where he studied Comparative Literature, Cinema, and New Media Arts. His work incorporates various forms of artistic expression: Performance Art, Dance, Multimedia Production, Installation, and Social Practice to treat notions related to constructions of identity, gender roles, and the politics of migration.


Through his investigation of somatic expression, he has developed a corporeal theory for the practice of Performance Art which has been presented in workshops and conferences around the world. Challenging the white box settings of a gallery or a museum, or intervening directly in public spaces, his performances mediate movement, endurance, and ritualistic processes. Some of his actions and carefully choreographed performances involve collaborating with other artists and interacting with audiences.
His performance art projects, films and media installations have been presented and exhibited in the United States, Latin America, Europe and Asia. Canonge is the founding director of the performance art festivals: ITINERANT in NYC (2012-present), LATITUDES in Santa Cruz de la Sierra, Bolivia (2018-present), and AUSTRAL in Buenos Aires, Argentina (2019-present).
He is responsible for the international initiatives: ARTerial Performance Lab (2013-present), PERFORMEANDO (2014-2017), PERFORMAXIS (2014-present), TALKaCTIVE & LiVEART.US (2015-2018), CONVIVIR at MODULO 715 (2016-2018), NEXUS (2017-present), and IGNITION (2018-2019).


 In 2020, reflecting on the effects of the Corona pandemic, Canonge launched the virtual world-wide program, CHRONICLES of CONFINEMENT, featuring artists from Latin America, Europe, Africa, and Asia. He is currently at work in the development of new projects and programs for the exploration and experimentation of Live Art and its various manifestations.
