Luciana Pinchiero lives in New York and comes from Rosario , Argentina. She is a visual artist. She moves within the circle of queer art , a term that serves to encompass sexual and gender identities that do not identify with the traditional , and her work deals with beauty, about bodies, about power.
She combines, brings together, mixes, confronts cuts, images, stories with the aim of generating friction in our ways of representing women. “I make collage on paper and collage in space – I don’t call it sculpture. The medium I choose is political because it uses other narratives, in this case visual ones, to create new and personal narratives. That is in itself queer because it transforms a given reality to provide a different perspective and what is in itself queer, is in itself political.”
Every word he says is high voltage. I make a conceptual map on a piece of paper and underline several times, I write in capital letters: POWER, POLITICS, BEAUTY, HISTORY, OTHERNESS, I-CO-NO-CLAS-TA PUNK. He talks about Bad Posture , the show he presented at the Praxis gallery in Manhattan in February.
