Danny Baez
Danny Báez is a regular and normal guy originally from Quisqueya, Dominican Republic. A former Advertising Major at UNAPEC and a Printmaker at Columbia University's LeRoy Neiman Center for Print Studies, Báez is now living and working in the greater New York Area. Baez has been dedicated to the art ecosystem for the past 12 years, where he started his tenure under the tutelage of renowned Thai artist Rirkrit Tiravanija. He also went on to work under British Art dealer Gavin Brown for a decent amount of years.
Baez is also the Co-Chair of the Young Collectors Board (CNTMPRNS) at El Museo del Barrio; also a member of The Independents at ICI and FUTURE FAIR Advisory Board Member, in New York City.
He’s been pursuing both introspection and cooking equally throughout this quarantine. Moreover, he has high hopes of servicing his fellow human beings.... and yes, a couple of animals too.
