David Bestué is an artist and writer interested in the relationship between text, sculpture and architecture. His practice experiments with ideas taken from poetry, art history and architecture, testing out how far they can be pushed both literally and conceptually. By making small changes to public and domestic scenarios, his works create situations that question our conventions of behavior, and seek to establish temporary, fragile links between permanent forms and the presence of transient elements, both human and inanimate in the space.
Solo exhibitions of his work include ROSI AMOR (Reina Sofía Museum, Madrid, 2017) and Realisme (La Capella, Barcelona, 2015). He has participated in collective exhibitions in New York (New York Public Library), Buenos Aires (Di Tella University), Barcelona (MACBA), among others. Enric Miralles left and right (Tenov, 2010), Pure Formalism (Tenov, 2011 ), Historia de la Fuerza (Caniche, 2017) and Viaplana and Piñón or the impossibility of an architecture (Puente, 2018), are some of its publications. He has done residencies at Gasworks, (Londres, 2010), de_sitio (Mexico City, 2013) and Kunsthalle São Paulo (São Paulo, 2016).
