Aurelio Aguiló

Born in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, Aurelio has been deeply immersed in the contemporary art world in both New York and Miami, as well as the burgeoning creative and design scene in the Dominican Republic. Originally focused on strictly working as a visual artist, he became interested in the business side of art after visiting Art Basel Miami Beach in the late 2000s. Enticed by this new and strange world, he moved to New York City to complete an MA in Art Business at the Sotheby’s Institute of Art, writing his Master’s thesis on how the growing event-driven culture of the art world was dictating its rhythm and business practices.

Working in and around the art world of NYC, he came up with the concept for what is now homework, a nomadic art gallery that exists ephemerally online and in the form of temporary exhibitions in experimental art space[s] around the world. Operating without a permanent physical space, homework aims to break down the walls of the traditional art world and make the art consuming experience more accesible to a new stock of artists and collectors. Connecting people through stories, homework’s goal is to make the gallery experience friendlier, while always prioritizing quality and integrity.
