Geraldine Barón is an Argentinean visual artist and casting director living and working in NYC. Her work examines the relationship between image and text to explore the construct of family. Her practice draws from her background in cinema, and the unconventional methodologies from her casting work in film. 

For sixteen years, she has been working on a series titled Rehearsal for a Family, comprising photographs and texts that explore family-making and its constitutive elements of intimacy, queerness, language, labor, and storytelling. Both a diary and a portal, the series chronicles the lives of her immediate family, partners, lovers, and friends over time. The research and interview processes from her work as a casting director acutely inform her relationship to image-making. This ongoing research generates source material for her work across disciplines, including a nomadic reading series under the same title currently taking place in NYC. 

As a casting director, she's known for her work on critically acclaimed films such as Pedro Almodovar’s The Room Next Door (winner of the Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival 2024), Eliza Hittman's Never Rarely Sometimes Always(Sundance 2020, winner of the Silver Bear Grand Jury Prize at the Berlinale), Savanah Leaf's Earth Mama (Sundance 2023, BAFTA winner), Jane Schoenbrun's I Saw the TV Glow (Sundance 2024), the Safdie brothers' Good Time (Cannes Film Festival 2017), as well as the HBO's tv show Euphoria, amongst many others. 

She was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina and later moved to Los Angeles and New York City. Geraldine holds a BA from the University of Los Angeles, California and an MFA from Columbia University. She participated in art residencies in Buenos Aires, including Laboratorio de Cine at Universidad Torcuato Di Tella and the artist program at Centro de Investigaciones Artísticas. She received the McNamara Creative Arts Grant for her work in photography and was nominated for a BIFA Award for her casting work.
