Vicente Golveo's Download, 1998, is an ongoing project comprised of nearly one thousand drawings. Done in ballpoint pen on legal notepad paper, these informal portrait images may inadvertently comprise the most extensive physiological catalogue of Asian, Asian American and Pacific Island men. Derived from images downloaded from a variety of on-line sites, this project speaks directly to the question of identification, providing a somewhat startling aestheticization of the gaze itself.

Explicitly homoerotic, Download depicts many of the young men in pre/post coitus and responds not only to the absence of gay Asian, Asian American and Pacific Islanders within the media, but to their abundance on-line. Golveo understands both the necessity and the implications of the photographic document and replaces each photographic image with a drawn recreation.

In 1996, Golveo earned an MFA from the University of California at Irvine. In 1990, he received a BA in Studio Art and Communications from the University of California at Davis.

Golveo's work has been shown at Plug-In Gallery, Winnipeg, Canada; Side Street Projects, Santa Monica, CA; Fine Art Gallery, University of California at Irvine; Robert Berman Gallery, Santa Monica, CA; Orange Coast College Art Gallery, Mission Viejo, CA; Eloise Pickard Smith Gallery, Santa Cruz, CA; Davis Art Center, Davis, CA; and as part of the Los Angeles Culture Net's Neighborhood Views project on the World Wide Web.
