HAZARD Gallery
November 2018

Hazard Gallery is pleased to present an exhibition and performance by Mexico based, Spanish artist Javier Velázquez
Cabrero.

Exhibited in the gallery is a series of drawings that work as a catalogue of body movements and processes. These
drawings contain a series of transcriptions of symbols, textures, postures and sensations that speak of a possible rela-
tionship between the dancer and the images. The images also explore the possibilities where they become a source of
stimulation for the movement and feelings of the body.

Javier Velázquez Cabrero (1990, Spain) is a visual artist and dancer based in Mexico City. Graduated in Fine Arts at the
Universidad Complutense of Madrid. He studied one year at the ABK Stuttgart with professor Christian Jankowski, and
finished his post degree program at SOMA in Mexico this year.

His work has been seen at The Coimbra Biennale (Portugal); Zona Maco Nuevas Propuestas 2016; Cairo Video Festi-
val (Egipto), Galeria Slowtrack (Madrid), Casa Maauad (Mexico), the 14th edition of the Verbo Performance Festival of
Galeria Vermelho (Sao Paulo) and the Season at The centre for the Less Good Idea, amongst others. He has received
the 2014 INJUVE fund for the artistic creation, the Artistic creation scholarship from the Office of Cooperation and
Development, The Government of Mexico at 2014 and 2016, the Scholarships for residences abroad for artists and
curators of the Comunidad de Madrid at 2016 and the Mobility Grants PICE (AC/C) for his residency at NIROX
