Ha sido becario del Programa Jóvenes Creadores FONCA-CONACULTA (2009), de la Colección Jumex (2008) y de FONECA (2006, 2008 y 2010). Ha exhibido su trabajo en la Bienal de Chechenia, la Bienal de Yucatán, Palazzo delle Arti Napoli, Plataforma 06, South by Southwest, CMJ New York, CCS Bard Hessel Museum, Espace Pierre Cardin de Paris, New Life Shop Gallery en Berlin, Chelsea Gallery Space and Sideshow Gallery en New York, Casa del lago y Muca Roma en la Ciudad de México. Ha realizado residencias en El Museo de las Américas en Denver, SPACES de Cleveland y en PAN Sudios Program de Nápoles.
Su práctica artística no está dirigida a hacer del objeto de arte una finalidad. Por el contrario, se aproxima a éste con el pretexto de analizar las relaciones que existen entre las estrategias de producción y consumo en la actualidad. De tal manera que su trabajo es presentado como un ensamble de relaciones post procesuales en las cuales el objeto tiende a desaparecer para volverse soporte de futuros trabajos.

Leo Marz was born in Guadalajara in 1979, raised in Monterrey and studied Fine Arts in Puebla, Mexico. He has an MFA in New Media from Transart Institute/Donau Universitat in Krems, Austria.
He has participated in the Emergency Biennale in Chechnya, Yucatan Biennale (Honor Mention), Palazzo delle Arti Napoli, Plataforma 06, South by Southwest and CMJ New York (2007). He has shown his work at CCS Bard Hessel Museum, Museo de las Americas in Denver, SPACES in Cleveland, Espace Pierre Cardin in Paris, New Life Shop Gallery in Berlin, Chelsea Gallery Space and Sideshow Gallery in New York, Casa del Lago, Muca Roma, Enrique Guerrero and Yautepec Gallery in Mexico City, CRIC in Switzerland, University of Arts and Aesthetics in New Delhi, Object Not Found in Monterrey and Galería de Arte Contemporáneo y Diseño in Puebla, among others. He has received grants from La Colección/Fundación Jumex (2008), Fonca (2009) and Foneca (2006, 2008 and 2010) He has been a lecturer for the AAM Meeting (Denver, 2008) and has been published in magazines such as Tierra Adentro.
The object of art as a final product is not his main concern. Instead, he is interested in modifying its role in the process so that his production is presented like an assembly of post-processual relations, resulting inter-subjective pieces with the object often turning into support for further works/processes. He implements a series of collaborative tactics, often appropriating existing discourses to remix them. His work is most likely to be displayed as in situ installations.
