Life and career

Jaque is the author of award-winning architectural projects, including the Reggio School (El Encinar de los Reyes, 2020), the Babin Yar Museum of Memory and Oblivion in Kiev, the Ocean Space for Thyssen-Bornemisza Contemporary Art (Venice, 2018), Casa Sacerdotal Diocesana de Plasencia; 2004. Teddy House (Vigo, 2003, 2005), Mousse City, (Stavanger, 2003); Peace Foam City (Ceuta, 2005); Skin Gardens (Barcelona 2006); the Museo Postal de Bogotá (Bogotá, 2007), Rolling House for the Rolling Society (Barcelona, 2009); the House in Never Never Land (Ibiza, 2009); the ESCARAVOX, (Madrid, 2012), Hänsel and Gretel's Arenas (Madrid, 2013), COSMO PS1 in New York, Rómola (Madrid, 2018) and RunRunRun (Madrid, 2019).

He has also developed a number of architectural experiments meant to interrogate architecture's political agency. The 12 Actions to Make Peter Eisenman Transparent, 2010,[6] a project devoted to make public the political implications of the construction of the singular building site Cidade da Cultura in Santiago de Compostela. A series of actions described by Bruno Latour as a «beautiful mixture of art, politics and building-site».[7]

His 2012 intervention in the Barcelona Pavilion, ‘PHANTOM. Mies as Rendered Society’[8] made visible all the processes involved in the daily fabrication of the pavilion as an ordinary reality. Buckets, flags, chairs, old faded curtains, the salt that keeps the ponds pristine or the result of failed experiments carried out at the pavilion, were kept at the so far unnoticed basement. This work is part of the collection of the Art Institute of Chicago, and it is at shown as part of its permanent exhibition.

His work 'IKEA Disobedients' (Madrid, New York 2012) was the first architectural performance to be included in the MoMA's collection.[9]

Andrés Jaque holds a PhD degree in architecture, has been Tessenow Stipendiat, Graham Foundation Grantee, and is Professor of Architecture and the Dean of Columbia University GSAPP and previously he has been Visiting Professor at Princeton University School of Architecture and the Cooper Union.

He is the Chief Curator of the 13th Shanghai Art Biennale, titled ‘Bodies of Water’, and co-curator of Manifesta 12 in Palermo, ‘The Planetary Garden. Cultivating Coexistence’.
