Priamo Lozada passed away on Wednesday, June 14th in Venice, Italy. Priamo was co-curator of the Mexican Pavilion at the Venice Biennale this year, the first in over 50 years. We at Renew Media are very saddened by the sudden loss of Priamo.Born in the Dominican Republic in 1962, Priamo served as chief curator of Laboratorio Arte Alameda in Mexico City since the museum’s inception in 2000. In 2005 he was curator of Dataspace, held in el Centro Cultural Conde Duque and co-curator of the Tijuana sessions in Alcalá 31, both in Madrid, Spain. This past November he and Barbara Perea organized the ambitious project Plataforma Puebla 2006. He collaborated with Renew Media via our Media Arts Fellowship program as both a nominator and panelist.
Priamo greatly supported the development and exhibition of media art in Mexico and promoted it to the rest of the world.
Our thoughts are with his family and friends.
On behalf of the board and staff of Renew Media,
Lucila Moctezuma
Director, Media Arts Fellowship
Brian Newman
Executive Director, Renew Media

1Sincere thanks for your sympathy. My brother was a positive instrument in the lives of many. Should those lives continue in success and humility; his life will not be in vain.
Thanks again for posting your sentiments. Our family appreciates them profoundly.
