Hernandez https://andreslhernandez.com/Bio-CV Andres L. HernandezInfo Bio / CV Contact CBio (extended) Andres L. Hernandez is a Chicago-based interdisciplinary practitioner whose work draws forward the latent potential of words, spaces, sounds, and movement to elicit liberatory ways of being.  He explores the embedded attitudes, histories, policies, and systems of power within and beyond our world(s) as a method of imagining and existing otherwise.Hernandez sites his practice at the intersection of the social and the spatial.  He considers the symbiotic, yet, fraught relationships of built and natural environments and their inhabitants, and speculates alternative pasts, presents, and futures for all. Hernandez’ work takes many forms, including collaborative and socially-engaged works, as well as independent, studio-based practices.  Drawing, installation, and writing are his preferred media, alongside sound and performance. Initially trained as an architect, Hernandez has previous work experience within architecture firms on housing and institutional projects.  Since 1997, he has co-led and consulted on a number of open space planning and creative place-making projects in Chicago’s Austin, North Lawndale, Bronzeville, and West Pullman neighborhoods, as well as the Burnham Wildlife Corridor adjacent to Lake Shore Drive.  As part of the 2021 Chicago Architecture Biennial, Hernandez served as a team member with Grow Greater Englewood and Atelier Bow-Wow for the design of the Englewood Village Plaza, and from 2017-2019, he was an exhibition design team member for the Museum of the Obama Presidential Center.  He currently serves as a creative consultant for other local and national public projects and public space initiatives. Hernandez’ creative projects include Tucson Tête-à-Tête, a public commission with the University of Arizona School of Art; Thrival Geographies (In My Mind I See A Line), a commissioned installation with Amanda Williams and Shani Crowe for the 2018 Venice Architecture Biennale; and A Way, Away (Listen While I Say), a public commission with Amanda Williams for PXSTL, organized by the Pulitzer Arts Foundation and the Sam Fox School of Design & Visual Arts at Washington University in St. Louis.  As a member of the performance collective Dark Adaptive with Torkwase Dyson and Zachary Fabri, Hernandez has co-developed movement and sound works presented at national and international venues, including The Drawing Center; the Museum of Modern Art’s Pop Rally series; Graham Foundation for Advanced Studies in the Fine Arts; the Sharjah Biennial 14; and Pace Gallery as part of the Performa 19 Biennial.  Additionally, he is co-founder of the Revival Arts Collective, founder and director of the Urban Vacancy Research Institute, and member of Wide Awakes Chicago.  From 2016-17, and again from 2019-2022, Hernandez was the MCA Chicago’s SPACE artist-in-residence at Curie Metropolitan High School, where he co-led creative projects with students focused on the physical and social spaces of the school and surrounding community.  His previous residencies include the 2018-2019 VASE Program Visiting Artist Residency with the University of Arizona School of Art; a 2016-2017 DCASE Public Studio Residency at the Chicago Cultural Center; and the 2013-2014 AIR Program at the University of Chicago’s Washington Park Arts Incubator.  In addition to these opportunities, he has been honored with the 2021 3Arts Award in Visual Arts, and the 2018 Efroymson Family Fund Contemporary Arts Fellowship. Hernandez received a Bachelor of Architecture degree from Cornell University and a Master of Arts from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, where he is currently an Associate Professor in the Department of Architecture, Interior Architecture, and Designed Objects (AIADO), and the Department of Art Education.
