Oscar Rieveling

Oscar Rieveling is a conceptual artist based in Miami, Florida. His works address questions drawing upon his Mexican heritage and investigation of ritual, folk tradition, and affect theory. Since 2018, he has conducted ongoing research and iterations of “Auto-mariachi”, a performance inviting mariachi musicians to serenade each other. The work invites a reflection on who serenades the serenaders, and ultimately how we receive and express love and affect.

He completed his BA studies in the History of Art and French at Cornell University. His practice has been supported by grants from Locust Projects (Wavemaker) and Oolite Arts (Ellies).
