Born at the end of the seventies, Mario Schambon emigrated with his family to the US just as tensions were ramping up in Escobar era Colombia. Always an immigrant, he has extensively traveled stoking a desire for the unusual and the unknown. His early years were spent in wonder, navigating the duality of language and social paradigms known to all immigrants living in the US. Travel, research and life experiences culminated in an artist whose work explores boundaries and relationships through music, objects, performance and collaborations.
Artist and musicians, he's worked with include: William Downs, Damo Suzuki, Sonia Sanchez, Bettye Saar, Yukinori Yanagi, Bradford Cox (Atlas Sound, Deerhunter), violinist Mike Khoury, Leyya Tawil, and artist/composer Roberto C. Lange. Past exhibitions in the US and Canada have seen his unique installations activate abandoned or otherwise mundane architectural spaces using repurposed or recycled material and media in unexpected ways. Expect a new album from his latest musical project, Campos de Luz (Fields of Light) out this fall on Imaginator Records.
He lives and works in Brooklyn, NY.
