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 the large scale project Majority Report: a book of narrative and performance texts reporting on the dysfunctional management of an incorporated artist run gallery called Registered Charity. Majority Report has a triple life as writing, spoken word performances and exhibitions.

After a sustained period of experimentation with otherness and institutional critique, Ramírez formalised his interests to look at the duplicity of language. Located within contemporary systems, he currently explores various administrative and linguistic devices, instigated in conscientious gallery management.

Ramírez is using the framework of a 'performance appraisal' to revise the last decade of his practice, implying performance 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.
