Juan-Sí González describes himself as a communicator who doesn't subscribe to any one discipline or style; his choice of media depends on the idea. He works with installations, photography, video, drawings and performance. In Cuba, he used ephemeral forms, street performances, and underground videos. In the United States, he began building large-scale mixed media installations with videos and photography pieces. He studied at the Higher Institute of the Arts in Havana and was selected to participate in the first and second Havana Biennales. In 1987, he co-founded "Ritual Art-De" (standing for art and rights) and began doing interactive political performances in the streets of Havana and underground video to talk about social issues in Cuba. González left Cuba for Costa Rica in 1991 as a political refugee. Now he has lived in Yellow Springs and he has been awarded two Ohio Arts Council Individual Artist Fellowships, the Spaces World Artists Program Residency in Cleveland, the Artist Residence Project in Wittenberg University, the Visiting Artists Program in Kenyon College and the Individual Artist Residence Project in Sinclair Community College in Dayton.
