Oscar Rieveling (b. Mexico City, Mexico, 1994) is a Miami Beach-based conceptual artist. His works address questions drawing upon his Mexican heritage and investigation of ritual, folk tradition, and affect theory. Since 2018, he has conducted ongoing research and iterations of “Auto-mariachi”, a performance inviting mariachi musicians to serenade one another collectively. The work invites a reflection on who serenades the serenaders, and ultimately how we receive and express love and affect. He completed his BA studies in the History of Art and French at Cornell University. His practice has been supported by grants from Locust Projects/The Andy Warhol Foundation for Visual Arts and Oolite Arts. Select exhibition and performances venues include the Museum of Contemporary Art North Miami, the Walgreen’s Windows, Mana Contemporary, and the Redland Market Village. Residencies include the Bakehouse Art Complex Studio Residency, Locust Projects Summer Studio Making Waves Residency for WaveMaker Grantees, and the Oolite Arts Live.In.Art Residency.
