Marek Wolfryd (b.1989, Mexico City) lives and works in Mexico City. He is a multidisciplinary artist that explores the intersection of artistic and economic narratives in the context of culture, history, and society. Through a wide range of media, such as process art, readymades, sculpture, installations, video, and performance, Wolfryd reviews cultural movements and their aesthetic discourses, generally delving into micro-historical phenomena surrounding these great chronicles. Through long-term research projects, Wolfryd builds a conceptual framework that exposes the complexity of certain narratives that exist both within and outside the spheres of symbolic influence of the Western world. His works reflect and explore the means of mass production, consumer culture, copyright, authorship, and the mechanisms of art creation and distribution.

His work has been shown in Aparador LA, Los Angeles, General Expenses, Mexico City, Tiro al Blanco, Guadalajara, Mexico, Chalton Gallery, London, United Kingdom, Aoyama Meguro, Tokyo, Japan, Museo de la Ciudad de Querétaro, Querétaro, Mexico, Ekkisens Art Space, Reykjavik, Iceland among others. Wolfryd holds a BA from ENPEG “La Esmeralda” and has studied at SOMA.
