Maximiliano Rosiles
Bio: Born in Guanajuato, Mexico, Maximiliano’s upbringing was split between Mexico and the borderlands of South Texas. Informed by questions surrounding how the self negotiates imposed systems that structure space, mobility, labor and belonging, his multidisciplinary practice unfolds through sculpture, installation, and video.
His recent solo exhibitions include Entropía (2023) at La Nao Galería, CDMX; Exuvia (2022) at Museo Universitario Del Chopo, CDMX and Líneas en las Raíces (2021) at Guadalajara90210, CDMX. He is also the recipient of the Museo Jumex postgraduate scholarship awarded by the Jumex Foundation for Contemporary Art and the Support for Culture and Arts Professionals for Postgraduate Studies Abroad awarded by the Ministry of Culture of Mexico.
Thesis Exhibition
Artist Statement: Rosiles’s practice investigates how displacement, informality, and material practices shape adaptive modes of inhabiting space. Treating improvisation as embodied knowledge and emergent place-making as self-preservation, he reworks materials, processes, and forms drawn from specific labor, transitory, or architectural context. Staging tensions that reveal unstable vernaculars produced through everyday encounters, his work foregrounds entropy as a method to understand how communities resist, transform, and adapt to the structures that seek to contain them.
