Carlos Capelán is a Uruguayan and Swedish contemporary artist, educator and curator, born in Montevideo, Uruguay, in 1948. After two years hitch-hiking across South America, he returns to Montevideo in 1970 and opens a weaving studio. In 1971, his studio is raided five times by police and military. In 1972, he moves to the island of Chiloé in Chile where he works with peasant cooperatives as a weaving technician. In 1973, he is detained and disappeared during the military coup. He reappears in the Estadio Nacional among a group of 54 Uruguayans rescued by the Swedish Ambassor to Chile, Harald Edenstam. As a result, he ends exiled in Sweden and settles in Lund where he still keeps a studio. He starts studying at Grafikskolan Forum in 1978 and opens his first solo show at Andres Tornberg Gallery. Between 1980 and 1981 he lives in Mexico where he leads courses at the studio of Uruguayan artist Anhelo Hernández. In 1981, back in Lund, he opens a print-making studio together with Carl Gustafsson and Stefan Sjöberg. In 1986, he receives one of the awards at the third Havana Biennial. He returns to Havana in 1989 to hold several seminaries and lectures at the Instituto Superior de las Artes (ISA) and again in 1994 as celebrated artist of the fifth Havana Biennial. In 1996 he discotinues working with his galleries in Germany, Colombia, Spain and France, and moves with his family to Costa Rica where he will live until 2001. During tha period he starts a close collaboration with Virginia Pérez-Ratton, at the time the Director of the Museo de Arte y Diseño Contemporáneo and later founder of the Fundación Teorética. His work has been called post-conceptual. Free from specific trends or formal boundaries, he works with structures of ideas with a material and formal diversity operating from the language of representation, referrinig to his identity as an artist as well as the artwork's itself. Capelán's language includes drawing, print-making, painting, photography, installation, sculpture, objects, performance, workshops, lectures and texts, as well as his activity as curator.
