CYNTHIA GUTIÉRREZ
Through her research-oriented projects, Gutiérrez has used a number of mediums including drawing, painting, video, ready-made, sculpture and tapestries to explore the ways in which identity or nationalism are embedded in objects, in particular monuments. The artist analyzes the ongoing adherence to moral, ethical, political and aesthetic parameters that originated in classical antiquity and examines the inherent entropy within these structures.
