Eduardo Andrés Alfonso (b. Miami, FL, 1990; lives and works in The Bronx, NY) is a curator and architect whose work investigates how architectural and social infrastructures shape visibility, access, and public engagement. He was most recently Associate Curator at The Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum, where he organized exhibitions by Martin Beck, Zak Prekop, and Elizabeth Englander. Previously, as Associate Curator-at-Large at The Shed, he led curatorial and production teams for the 2023 Open Call Visual Arts Group Show. 

He has an MA in Curatorial Studies from the Center for Curatorial Studies at Bard College, where he curated Frame (Traced) (2022), a commission by Alan Ruiz examining how architecture, protocol, and social relations structure museum access; he also co-curated Ñande Róga (2021) and FIGURE DOOR PASSAGE (2022). His graduate thesis, Producing Visibility (2022), traced the migration of galleries to storefronts in Downtown New York and analyzed how changing infrastructures recalibrate contemporary art’s relationship to the urban public.

He has been Curator-in-Residence at EMPAC where he produced and co-curated Conspiracy Influencer (2022) and a Curatorial Fellow at the Carpenter Center for the Visual Arts at Harvard (2021). His earlier projects include archival exhibitions on Paul Rudolph—The Personal Laboratory (2018) and The Hong Kong Journey (2018)—and curatorial projects with Downs & Ross, A+A Gallery (Venice), and King’s Leap (New York).

He taught architecture at The Spitzer School of Architecture, CUNY City College (2018–2020) and the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts School of Architecture (2015). He holds a B.Arch from The Cooper Union’s Irwin S. Chanin School of Architecture, where his thesis on housing in proto-socialist colonial communes and religious groups received the William Cooper Mack Thesis Fellowship (2013).
