William Cordova (b. 1971, Lima, Peru) is an interdisciplinary cultural practitioner who was raised in Miami and lives and works in Lima, Miami and New York. His work addresses the metaphysics of space and time, and how objects and perception change as we move through space. He received a BFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 1996 and an MFA from Yale University in 2004, and has been an artist in residence at the Studio Museum in Harlem, the American Academy in Berlin, Artpace and Skowhegan. He was included in the 2008 Whitney Biennial, MoMA PS1's "Greater New York" (2010), Prospect.3 and the 12th Havana Biennial. In 2017 he received the Florida Prize from the Orlando Museum of Art, and the Pérez Art Museum Miami presented his first career survey, "now's the time: narratives of southern alchemy." His work is held by the Whitney Museum, the Guggenheim, the Walker Art Center, the Museo de Arte de Lima and PAMM.
