He was included in the Hangzhou Triennial of Fiber Art in 2019, the 2021 La Trienal at El Museo del Barrio, and Prospect 5 in New Orleans. garcia has exhibited at institutions and galleries including Foxy Production, Luhring Augustine, Sculpture Center, The New Museum, New York; Etage Projects, Copenhagen; Progetto, Lecce; Marianne Boesky Gallery, Aspen; Museum Folkwang, Essen; LAXART, Los Angeles; Museo de Arte de Zapopan, Guadalajara; Salon ACME, Kurimanzutto, Mexico City; Blaffer Art Museum, Houston; amongst others. garcia lives and works nomadically.
