Andrew Roberts (b. 1995, Tijuana) has built his practice across gameplay, roleplay and worldbuilding, creating multi-platform narratives that materialize through digital animations, objects and poetry. Mining the history of monsters and the material dimension of horror, he is primarily concerned with representation systems, death as a form of labor and the haunting relationship between Mexico and the United States of America.

Andrew Roberts (b. 1995, Tijuana) is a mexican artist and writer. He incorporates elements of gameplay, roleplay and worldbuilding into his multi-platform practice, recognizing in these mechanisms a cultural structure where consumption and production become one. Researching the material dimension of horror, Roberts’s digital animations, installations, sculptures and poetry treat colonial agents as possessed images and haunted spaces. He is primarily concerned with representational systems, military technology and the parasitic relationship between Mexico and the United States of America, often exploring the links connecting death, optics, warfare and entertainment.
Recent solo and two-person exhibitions include Pequod Co., Mexico City (2023, 2020); House of Chappaz, Valencia and Barcelona (2022); Best Practice, San Diego (2022); and Delaplane, San Francisco (2021). He presented a solo booth with Pequod Co. at Art Basel Miami Beach (2023). Significant group exhibitions include the Institut Culturel du Mexique, Paris (2023); the Whitney Biennial: Quiet As It's Kept, NYC (2022); the Institute of Mexico in Spain, Madrid (2022); the 7th Athens Biennale: ECLIPSE (2021); the Museo Jumex, Mexico City (2021); and the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego (2018); amongst others.
