Description

This comprehensive publication on the Peruvian artist Teresa Burga (b. Iquitos, Peru, 1935) provides an overview of her work from the 1960s to the present day - from her landmark installations Autorretrato. Estructura. Informe. 9.6.72 ('Self-Portrait. Structure. Report. 9.6.72,' 1972) and Perfil de la Mujer Peruana ('Profile of the Peruvian Woman', 1980-1981) to her latest series of drawings. Her many-faceted oeuvre encompasses paintings and environments in the vein of Pop art, as well as conceptual drawings and cybernetic installations. This broad range of media, formal means, and aesthetic idioms goes hand in hand with a resolute thematic focus: Burga's works are highly detailed protocols of the social realities of their time. With often playful precision, Burga highlights connections between causes and effects to draw attention to the individual's ability to influence social conditions. Exhibition: Migros Museum für Gegenwartskunst, Zurich, Switzerland (26.05.-12.08.2018).
