Javier S. Peres (b. Cuba) is a contemporary art dealer who operates Peres Projects which currently has 2 locations in Berlin and previously had locations in Los Angeles, California; Athens, Greece; and a project space in New York which he operated in conjunction with Terence KOH named Asia Song Society.

Biography

Peres came to prominence showing seminal early work byTerence Koh, Assume Vivid Astro Focus, Dan Colen, Dash Snow, Agathe Snow, Kirstine Roepstorff, Amie Dicke, Matt Greene, Bruce LaBruce and others in the early 2000's. His influence as a gallerist and critical tastemaker has been validated by the inclusion of his artists in the top art world exhibitions such as the Venice Biennale, the Whitney Biennial, the Tate Triennial, the Turner Prize, the São Paulo Biennal, the Royal Academy of Art in London and numbers other prestigious venues. Works of Peres artists are also included in top public collections such as the Tate, London; The Whitney Museum of American Art; The Guggenheim; the Museum of Modern Art, NY, the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles; The Armand Hammer Museum, to name a few.

In 2003, Peres exhibited the work of Terence Koh (formerly asianpunkboy) in Los Angeles in a show titled "The Whole Family." This exhibition, which later traveled to the 2004 Whitney Biennial, is an early example of the mark of Peres on the contemporary art world, making unconventional choices and maintaining a role as a relationship gallerist with unorthodox connections to the stable of artists he represents. This spring he is presenting James Franco's debut solo European gallery exhibition in Berlin.

Peres was the cover article in Art Review (May 2006), and has been ranked in"Art-Review's" top 100. Both Peres, and his stable of internationally renowned artists have been staples of the top art publications around the world since his entering the art scene in 2002.
