Bio

Eric Zamuco (b. 1970, Manila, Philippines; lives and works in Manila) is an interdisciplinary artist whose practice centers around filtering the ordinary and the unfamiliar. Raised in Manila, Philippines, Zamuco received his MFA from the University of Missouri in 2005 before relocating to Massachusetts in 2009, and back to Manila in 2012. His body of work has consistently focused on filtering his own displaced experience, and he explores themes of home, identity, postcolonial narratives, and the need for reclamation of space. His works, which span a diverse range of media, include sculpture, installation, photography, drawings, video, and performance, and serves not only as social commentary but also as self- critique. Zamuco is drawn to the unfamiliar, and his intention in transforming the commonplace is to pull the immaterial in an inquiry towards some kind of human order.

Zamuco was a recipient of the Thirteen Artists Award (2003) and the Ateneo Art Award (2005). He holds an MFA in Sculpture (2009) from the University of Missouri- Columbia. He was an artist-in-residence at the Centre Intermondes, France (2015) and was the subject of a solo- show Working on the Mountain at Silverlens Manila in 2021.
