Featuring RU artist-in-residence Mari Claudia García in the RU voices interview series 🎤
Mari Claudia García is a U.S.–based multidisciplinary artist and educator interested in the intersection of arts and politics. Her art practice is anchored in a socio-political exploration of communication and language as impacted by power dynamics and politics. García is intrigued by tensions around political correctness and ‘cancel culture.’ Currently, her research delves into censorship and protest, examining their dynamics in both totalitarian regimes and democracies. She engages with various mediums, including sculpture, installation, video, video-installation, photography, and sound, using methods ranging from digital fabrication to weaving and casting. Modifying objects, thus amplifying their ethical and aesthetic resonance is central to Mari Claudia García’s practice.
Mari Claudia had her solo exhibition “Matter in Resistance” at Residency Unlimited opening on Thursday October 15th 5-7pm.
The exhibition features recently realized sculptural metal pieces from The Weight of Erasure series, exhibited for the first time. Among others, Mari Claudia also presented the participatory sound installation 11J or The Revolution That Never Happened (Second Iteration), offering an opportunity for live engagement with the audience through timed activations throughout the event.
Mari Claudia’s residency is made possible with support from the Rockefeller Brothers Fund and the Cuban Artists Fund.
