Pablo Uribe (Montevideo, 1962). Lives and works in Uruguay. He studied architecture at the University of the Republic and visual arts with Guillermo Fernández. In 2009 he represented Uruguay at the 53rd Venice Biennale. He won the Grand National Prize for Visual Arts (MEC, 2001), and received the XXI Figari Prize (BCU, 2016), in recognition of his career.

His work explores the various relationships that make up the practice of art. His research extends towards questioning the neutrality implicit in artistic production, exhibition spaces and their collections. This activity has resulted in the study of the links between subjects and objects, whose stories—real or fictional—go to the point of questioning their role as author.

In a continuous shift between roles and formats, he has used historical, literary, architectural, musical, and theatrical references. His staging, reworkings and montages seek to invade the sensitive domain of the viewer to effect changes in their memory and imagination.
