Born in Tijuana, Mexico and resident in the U.S., Marcos Ramírez ERRE’s work is informed by a profound understanding of border culture. He received his Law Degree from La Universidad Autónoma de Baja California. In 1983, he came to the United States where he worked for seventeen years in the construction industry. His multi-disciplinary background has shaped his practice. He came to prominence in the 1990s with large public installations that dealt with migrants, immigration, and border control, specifically focusing on the Mexican-American border crossing.
In 2007, he received a United States Artist Fellowship; and since 2009, he has been a Fellow of Mexico’s Sistema Nacional de Creadores de Arte (National System of Art Creators). His work has been featured in many major international exhibitions including InSite94, San Diego/Tijuana; InSite97, San Diego/Tijuana; the Havana Biennial, Cuba; the Whitney Biennial, Whitney Museum of American Art, New York; the Moscow Biennial, Russia; the San Juan Poly/Graphic Triennial, Puerto Rico; and the 1st Encounter Between Two Seas: Bienal de São Paulo/Valencia (Brazil and Spain).
