David Lamelas is widely recognized as a pioneer of conceptual art. Ranging from sculpture to film, photography, and performance, his interdisciplinary practice has influenced artists across the Americas and Europe. A key member of the Argentinean avant-garde during the 1960s, Lamelas participated in landmark exhibitions in Buenos Aires at the influential Instituto Torcuato di Tella. After representing Argentina at the Venice Biennale in 1968, he relocated to London to study at Saint Martin’s School of Art. Through the 1970s and well beyond, he continued to show his work in important conceptual art exhibitions in Europe and the United States. In the mid-1970s he moved to Los Angeles, and since then he has led a nomadic life and practice between Europe, the United States, and South America.
