Descripción de la Exposición
In recent drawings, Burga examines cultural customs and scenes of contemporary life in Peru and beyond. In her new series entitled Niñas Peruanas Cusqueñas, Burga depicts young indigenous women from Peru’s Andean region, dressed in traditional garments. In other recent works, deeply saturated drawings of Venetian Carnival costumes highlight Burga’s close engagement with color, pattern, and play. Formally distinct from Burga’s conceptual work of past decades, these drawings position artistic production as a type of labor––recalling her installation works from the 1970s. With the mechanical distance of someone who spent a large part of her career working methodically with data, statistics, and information systems, in the margins of recent drawings Burga inscribes the dates and time spent on each work––tracking her hours as if clocking in and out of a job.
