Author Description

The work by the renowned artist Itziar Barrio (Bilbao, 1976). Itziar Barrio is a mid-career artist who is internationally recognized for her contributions to the intersections of art, film, and technology as well as her long term projects. Her interdisciplinary, boundary breaking work has been exhibited in art institutions across the United States, Latin America, and Europe. Barrio's aim is rewriting dominant narratives about social contracts, identity, and the construction of reality, as well as labor politics and ownership over means of production. Her work explores a wide range of cultural production, and questions the formal limits of film, technology, sculpture, and installation by deploying dissent as a tool to open future horizons.
