Iñigo Manglano-Ovalle (b. 1961 in Madrid) is a conceptual artist working across media to create works that challenge our notions of the political and the cultural. His work currently regards the inversion of utopia, the fabrication of war, and the hypersonic re-entry of Modernism.
He has received numerous awards, including a United States Artists Guthman Fellowship 2011; a Guggenheim Memorial Foundation Fellowship 2009, and a John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation Award 2001.
