Miguel Angel Ríos nascut al 1943 a Sant Jose Nord Catamarca, Argentina. Viu i treballa entre Mexico i Nova York. En el seu treball, Ríos integra un acostament conceptual rigorós juntament amb una estètica manual meticulosament construïda. Des dels anys setanta ha treballat al voltant del concepte del “llatinoamericà” utilitzant aquesta idea com a estratègia artística i com a problema polític. En la dècada dels noranta va crear les sèries de mapes que va doblegar i va prisar cuidadosament. Al.ludint el 500 aniversari del descobriment d’Amèrica, els mapes indiquen llargues històries de poder i experiència colonial fent referència a l’art tradicional indígena que inclou el quipu andí. Des de l’any 2000, Ríos ha explorat també el vídeo per a crear narratives simbòliques sobre l‘experiència humana, la violència i la mort.
