Andrew Ordonez

Andrew Ordonez (b. 1991, Fort Worth, TX) is a New York City–based visual artist working across sculpture, installation, and video. He employs aggregate assemblage to investigate processes of disintegration and the shifting role of the artifact. Through acts of material preservation and erasure, he draws upon—and subverts—systems of archaeology to examine the physical and spiritual manifestations of time. Ordonez develops a visual lexicon that explores fossilization, hauntology, and queer ecology. His work engages the politics of humor and horror to unsettle the logics, loops, and lineages of the human and post-human condition.
