Guillermo Carnevale is the son of Graciela Carnevale, a prominent member of the 1960’s Argentine conceptual avant-gardist group Tucuman Arde. Guillermo Carnevale has recounted how his mother immersed him in conceptual art and challenging him to transgress societal rules whenever possible. He was a founding member of visceral realism, an Argentine art movement active in the 1990’s during the Latin American economic crisis, which investigated the intersection between conflict and creativity.

Carnevale was an editor-in-chief of the Journal of Implied Violence, a short-lived but influential publication by the visceral realists. His recent work, complex collage installations, envision information systems, such as newspapers and magazines, as battlefields of ideological contest.
