Who the $#@%! is DHAdmann?

Mexico-born interdisciplinary artist David Hinojosa Admann lives and works in Berlin, Germany. Working across drawing, painting, new media, and participatory performance, Hinojosa Admann examines the oscillation of conceptual art, commerce, and the democratization of the contemporary art world. His work critically, and sometimes humorously, reflects on the circumstantial phenomena of the art market. Since obtaining his MFA from Universidad Complutense de Madrid in 2003, his works have been exhibited widely across Europe and Central America. Hinojosa Admann’s artistic enquiry is further underscored by his academic and professional background in Computer Science and Marketing.
Notably, Hinojosa Admann is recognised for his work ‘Stockartist.org’, a stock exchange for artists and an online art market simulator. Originally launched in 2005, the project was shown at ARCO Madrid, Laboratorio Arte Alameda and TransitioMX, where Admann was among a group of Mexico’s top electronic artists selected to represent the nation. He worked as an advisor for Artfacts.net, an online tool for art collectors, which catalyzed his artistic research into the art market. In 2017 Admann founded ‘Organization for the Democratization of the Visual Arts (ODBK)’, an activist organization aiming to create and support projects that bring greater equality, diversity, inclusion, and transparency to the art world through an international array of public talks and exhibitions. Among their significant projects are ‘The Pure Taste Indicator’ and ‘The Certification of Equality and Diversity for Museums and Art Collections’. .
