Michael Arcega (b. Manila, Philippines, 1973) is an interdisciplinary artist working primarily in sculpture and installation. Though visual, his art revolves largely around language. Directly informed by Historic events, material significance, and the format of jokes, his subject matter deals with sociopolitical circumstances where power relations are unbalanced. His work has been exhibited at venues including the deYoung Museum, Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, the Berkeley Art Museum, the Museum of Craft and Folk Art, the San Jose Institute of Contemporary Art, the Museum of Contemporary Art in San Diego, the Orange County Museum of Art, The Contemporary Museum in Honolulu, Honolulu Academy of Arts, The Blaffer Gallery in Houston, the Museum of Fine Arts in Houston, Cue Arts Foundation, and the Asia Society in NY. He received his BFA from the San Francisco Art Institute and his MFA from Stanford University. He lives and works in San Francisco.
