Asier Mendizabal (b. Ordizia, Guipuzkoa, 1973) is a new generation Basque artist who pays special attention to the relations between form, discourse and ideology. His oeuvre could be described as a critique of ideology, based on the mise en scne of the structures that shape it. Through art, rock music, cinema, politics and theory, his view on social structures leads him to sketch out a map of the totality of production relationships. Asier Mendizabal's transversal, multidisciplinary approach focuses sharply on the difficulties of representation inherent in the political, as well as on the gaps between artistic activity and the "political unconscious" in cultural production and mass movements.
