Ismael Ogando (born Ismael Gómez Ogando September 21, 1985) is a Dominican concept, media and performance artist.[1]
In 2012 Ogando left the Dominican Republic staying in Miami,[2] then Mexico City [3] and later arriving in Berlin, Germany. In Berlin, Ogando developed and curated an archive platform in the district of Neukölln from 2012 to 2015.[4]
During his asylum process in Germany, Ogando founded GROUND, an editorial project for art criticism and aesthetics, which released three issues between 2015 and 2016.
Art production[edit]
Ismael Ogando has developed his career in the fields of art, social activism, gender studies and identity politics. Ogando's performances and installations play upon dichotomies and paradoxes, highlighting for instance the Dominican denial of blackness by underscoring the erroneous nature of this perception in his performance “Dominican Shower”. Ogando here ritualistically bathes himself, covering himself with thick, white suds that transform his body. By staging these performances in transnational spaces Ogando brought attention to the national dynamic of denial, but also engendered a place of (dis)identification that, while dependent upon national tropes, responded to the realities of identity in the 21st century. Ogando's work highlights the intersections between race and class, while including considerations of gender and sexuality.[5]
In 2015 he presented his piece Altar in the Ghetto Biennale in Port-au-Prince.[6] In 2016, he presented at the fifth Moscow Biennale for Young Art RA: 06h 45m 08.9s, dec: —16° 42' 58, a work on Credo Mutwa and his theories.[7]
