description: "José Gonzalez Espaliú  was a Spanish artist and activist, best known for his performative and conceptual pieces. He received an AIDS diagnosis in 1990, which influenced him to focus his art on the marginalization and suffering endured by himself and others with AIDS. Most notably, his performance pieces Carrying and The Nest and his news article \"Retrato del artista desahuciado\" sought to draw attention to the social and spiritual experiences of living with AIDS, from which he died in 1993. Since his Espaliú's death, his work has continued to be exhibited worldwide, including in his hometown of Córdoba in El Centro de Arte Pepe Espaliú."
