Pablo Delano is a visual artist and photographer with a keen interest in archives and the lives, histories, and struggles of Latin American and Caribbean communities.
Most recently his project, The Museum of the Old Colony (2024), was featured at the 2024 Venice Biennial curated by Adriano Pedroso. The project consists of an archival-based conceptual installation, examining the enduring colonial structures through the lens of Puerto Rico’s experience. The installation’s title ironically references the complicity of museums and a US soft drink brand that is very popular in Puerto Rico (Old Colony), while highlighting how the power and presence of the US is grounded on colonial exploitation, social hygiene, and racial hierarchy in multiple ways, from the circulation of goods, peoples, and values to the recruitment of anthropologists, missionaries, photographers, and politicians in sustaining a colonial matrix. The Museum of the Old Colony includes myriad objects, photographs, newspapers, films, and magazines from various sources that tell multiple stories related to Spanish and US domination over indigenous and native communities as well as people of African descent, picturing an intricately woven tapestry of Puerto Rico’s troubled histories.
Pablo Delano was born and raised in San Juan, Puerto Rico. He attended Temple University in Philadelphia and Yale University School of Art, from which he obtained an MFA degree in painting. Between 1979 and 1996 he lived in New York City where he worked as a freelance photographer and a professor of photography. In New York, he carried out several documentary photography projects relating to the Caribbean and Hispanic communities in the city. Pablo Delano’s photographs have been exhibited in solo and group exhibitions at galleries and museums throughout the USA, Latin America, Europe and Australia. His book of photographs, Faces of America, was published by Smithsonian Institution Press in 1992. He has also taken the photographs for several books on Puerto Rican folk art by the art historian Teodoro Vidal. He has been commissioned to create permanent, site-specific works of public art in the medium of photography by the Ellis Island Immigration Museum and the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs. In Trinidad, a book of black and white photographs focusing on the diverse society of Trinidad and Tobago, was published in 2008 by Ian Randle Publishers. Hartford Seen, a book of color photographs that examines the built environment of the city of Hartford, CT, was published by Wesleyan University Press in 2020.
