Mexican artist Minerva Cuevas’s prolific international practice is grounded in conceptually and socially engaged actions. Her site-specific interventions take place in a range of settings from the Internet to museums to the cultural commons. She creates political and social interventions, produces videos and photographic work, coopts various means of distribution, irreverently tampers with corporate and government identities, and makes work that disrupts political and visual economies. 

Cuevas solo exhibitions include Museo de la Ciudad de México, Mexico City, Cornerhouse, Gallery 1, Manchester, United Kingdom, Whitechapel Gallery, London, United Kingdom, Van Abbemuseum, Eindhoven, Netherlands, Kunsthalle Basel, Basel, Switzerland, MC Kunst, Los Angeles, United States, Centre d’art contemporain, Saint Nazaire France, and Museo Tamayo, Mexico City. Group exhibitions include the Fundación Jumex Arte Contemporaneo, Museo Jumex, Mexico City Mexico, Kunsthaus Bregenz, Bregenz, Austria, Musée d’art moderne de la Ville de Paris (MAM/ARC), Paris, France, Museo Universitario de Arte Contemporáneo, Mexico City, Mexico, KW Institute for Contemporary Art, Berlin, Germany, Centre Pompidou, Paris, France and San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, San Francisco, among others.
