He is best known for his work titled "Aggressively Mediocre/Mentally Challenged/Fantasy Island (circle one)" which was part of a 1998 exhibit and was bought by Wes Anderson and shown in the film ''The Royal Tenenbaums''. He received his BFA at the San Francisco Art Institute in 1994. He has worked in paint, photography, video and installation. Much of Calderón's work has been called "low-brow" and that he "has a knack for pushing crass stereotypes and clichés to absurd and provocative extremes."〔(Antioch College )〕 An article in ''Sculpture'' magazine called him "something of an international phenom,"〔(Sculpture magazine article )〕 and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art referred to him " He has had solo exhibitions at the Tamayo Contemporary Art Museum in Mexico City,〔(Artnet )〕 the Andrea Rosen Gallery in New York City,〔 the Museum of Natural History in Mexico City,〔(Andrea Rosen Gallery page )〕 the San Francisco Art Institute's Diego Rivera Gallery,〔 and the 2004 São Paulo Biennale.〔 He has had work at, among other places, the Guggenheim Museum's "Air: Projections of Mexico" exhibit,〔(San Francisco Art Institute biography )〕 the "Prometer no empobrece: arte contemporáneo mexicano" show at the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofia in Madrid,〔 the P.S. 1 Contemporary Art Center in New York City,〔(Artnet article )〕〔(Mexican Embassy )〕 the 2005 Sharjah Biennale,〔(Sharjah Biennial )〕 the 2005 Yokohama Triennale,〔(Yokohama Triennale )〕 the 2006 Busan Biennale,〔 and had a film commissioned for the 2006 Frieze Art Fair in London.〔(Frieze Art Fair )〕 In 2007, Calderon exhibited with several other Latin American Artists at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art.〔(Calderon at SFMOMA )〕 He has also worked in collaboration with the English artist Nick Waplington producing a series of photographs "Sherwin Williams/The garden of Suburban delights" and the graphic novel "Terry Painter", which was exhibited in New York and London.
