Catalina Barroso-Luque is a Mexican artist who constructs stories inhabited by voices, texts, images, bodies and objects. Monday's lecture will explore archeology as a form of storytelling which entangles ancient artefacts, sites and ancestral beliefs with changing contemporary preoccupations which span from the aesthetic to the political. The event serves as a reflection on art practice as making counter-worlds. On Friday 4th and Saturday 5th of April, she will be presenting Blue Egg Lovechild at Lydgalleriet. Sound artist Feronia Wennborg and herself will reimagine the creation of the world as a lover affair between Day and Night.
Catalina studied at the Glasgow School of Art (UK) and Central St. Martins College of Art & Design (London, UK). She has participated in projects and exhibitions at artist-run spaces, galleries, museums and bienales across Europe and the Americas. Her written and recorded work has been published and aired by independent publishers and radio stations around the world. The artist works between Mexico City (MX) and Glasgow (UK).
