Diego Ramírez is known for his expanded practice across art, writing and facilitation.
‍
He is a PhD Candidate at Monash University, where he is developing his large scale project Majority Report: a suite of performance texts written to manage the office of an arts worker, hired at an incorporated artist run initiative. It is written as a series of fictitious accounts, rather than a manual, dealing with imaginary scenes of arts administration. Such as delivering a manager’s report, signing off emails, applying for grants, making formal complaints, and more.

After a sustained period of experimentation with otherness and institutional critique, he formalised his interests to look at the duplicity of language. Located within contemporary systems, Ramírez currently employs art to explore various administrative and linguistic devices, instigated in conscientious gallery management. Ramírez is using the framework of a 'performance appraisal' to revise past work, implying reviews are measuring, and valorising his ouvre. His aim is to explore how these frameworks interact with artistic practice by modulating relationships between word, process and image.
