Juan David Galindo (Bogotá, 1992) is a graduate in Art and Design from the Escola Massana. He has also completed the Independent Study Programme at MACBA (2017–2018).

There are thousands of Juans in the world, and he signs himself A Juan. He explores the models of subjectivisation that deform, discipline, limit and empower the self. He works on constructing subjectivity on the basis of what it is made up of, going beyond identity and biography. He does this in art projects executed using archives, video and performance. He has had five individual exhibitions: Los posibles, at the Centre Cívic Sant Andreu, the Centre Cívic Can Basté and the Centre Cívic Baró de Viver (Barcelona, 2023); Espacio en diferido, curated by Tsering Frykman-Glen, at Tangent Projects (L’Hospitalet de Llobregat, 2022); Sea Steading, curated by Gisela Chillida, at Aurora Galeria (Barcelona, 2019), and NowHere or in the Middle of Ocean, curated by Goran Rister, at Kvaka 22 (Belgrade, 2019).

His projects have also appeared in collective exhibitions, performances and screenings at the following venues: Cinémathéque de Toulouse (France); Instituto Cervantes de Dublin (Ireland); Centre d’Art Contemporain Le Lait (Albi); Galerie Lisi Hämmerle (Bregenz, Austria); CityArt (Milan); Museo de Arte Moderno and El Parche (Bogotá); Centre d’Art Maristany (Sant Cugat, Barcelona); Centre Cultural Les Cigarreres d’Alacant, and, in Barcelona, Fabra i Coats: Centre d’Art Contemporani, El Born Centre de Cultura i Memòria, Sala d’Art Jove, Blueproject Foundation, galeria àngels barcelona, Castell de Montjuïc, Sala Hiroshima and CCCB.

Juan David sees education and mediation as part of his art and research work. He has run education and mediation projects at MACBA, at Manifesta 15, at Can Felipa, at the Fundació Joan Miro and at La Escocesa, among others.
