Javier Carro Temboury

Javier Carro Temboury (Madrid, 1997) takes a particular interest in the processual and social aspects of sculpture. Through the found object, notably ceramics, he explores the social reception of technologies and their various local developments.

His exhibition cycle Café Transversal brings together social interaction and sculpture in a series of performances conceived specifically for each venue in which it takes place. The project has recently been commissioned by the Centro de Arte de Alcobendas, Madrid; the Musée d’Art Moderne et Contemporain MAMC+ in Saint-Étienne; in Pech, Vienna; the Palais d’Iéna, Paris; and Villa Belleville, Paris. His work will soon be the subject of a permanent commission in a residential building in Montreuil, France.

He lives between Madrid and Paris, where he maintains close ties after graduating from the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts. After receiving the jury’s congratulations, in 2022 he was awarded the ASA residency at the Akademie der Bildenden Künste in Vienna. In the same year, he received the Joseph Ebstein Sculpture Prize (Fondation de France) and the Felicité des Felicités award (Fondation des Amis des Beaux-Arts), and one of his sculptures entered the collections of the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris.
